Good article

More of these please, I like them.

I'm not saying Spotify is shit

But it's just not something I feel the need to use as much now. Still listen to the John Fahey stuff though.

I used Spotfy a lot when I first got it

Now it just seems a bit novelty, the idea of having a big library of music readily available for you to listen to whenever you want. In hindsight it's not as great as I initially thought, it lacks the social interaction of last.fm (apart from the collaborative playlists which I REALLY like), you can't see what other users are listening to and unlike last.fm and myspace it's not really a gateway for checking out new bands.

Hi!

13

I used to work with someone from JAG

his attitude was more insulting than his band's music.

I think I saw these guys late last year

Do they sound just like The Foalz?

Oh dear...

Why did I even bother to read this?

:D

Youch.

Really enjoyed this

How very nice of you to give Germlin a thumbs up. I really like what Frankmusik does, I reckon he could do very well.

?!?!?!?!?

As much as I like every artist who 'won'

The list is as predictable as any previous Mercury award winner.

I heard...

Olly Sykes knocked out some woman and got arrested or something. Not sure if there's any truth to this though.

I'm not so sure

I used to like them, then the album came out and it was a bit rubbish. I can't see them making many good albums. They'll eventually disappear, which is a shame because they're more interesting than most bands who are on the same level of success as them.

O rly?

Where? I remember the 'waaaa no one likes CC!' thread a while back. I don't like them as people but think their music is good in places.

That's not true

I know a fair few people on DiS who like their music, including me.

Fair enough

and you are certainly right on their sound, I think comparing them to Joy Division would tarnish Joy Division's legacy!

"Are a White Lies lover or a hater?"

I think there's a word missing somewhere!

The Damned are really good fun live

This is what all ATP's should be like.

I'd love to see him at Brixton Academy

Anyone know if the band will be on the new album?

They used to be called The DJ Scotch Egg Band

Then they were Baka, and now they're Drum Eyes. The band at the moment is Scotch Egg, Liam from Trencher and Eda from Boredoms. Sweet.

Parts of the album are reminiscent of 'KFC Core'

But for the most of the album it's quite different to what he usually does. I'd say it has more in common with 'Scotchausen'.

^this

A) Mono

I've missed The Icarus Line.

A) cLOUDDEAD

I miss cLOUDDEAD...

^this

It just makes them look incapable of actually writing a review.

A) Super Furry Animals

Wish me luck!

That sentence was way too long.

*pause for air*

I sincerely hope you weren't involved in ZOO8

All you're doing is confirming everyone's point that the organisers did not give one shit about anything that's important to making a successful festival. You need a good kick in the nuts.

Erm...

The negative statements that have flooded message boards across teh internetz all seem to be first hand accounts of what actually happened, from performers and punters alike. I'm with the majority on this one. And it sounds like NO hard work was done by the organisers, hence the mess they're probably in now.

"The best part was the amazing french sausage+potato i ate"

Hahaha, definitely signs of a bad festival then!

Definitely

Field Day had teething problems (long queues for the bar, shoddy sound on the mainstage). Zoo Festival just sounds like an absolute fucking nightmare. This sounds more like a cavity than a teething problem.

There were SOME good acts.

I expect most of the gooduns pulled out though.

I feel sorry for ANYONE who attended this festival

I hope they get some sort of refund.

I cannot wait for this

Based on the line up this is the best U.K festival this year.

They'll have to be paid in full, I suspect

They're fucked, basically.

They can't

The tickets are never going to be used now, so I don't see why they have to be returned by tomorrow.

Yeah, blame Bjork for poor ticket sales

And while you're at it blame her for the poor organisation on Renaissance's behalf. The festival circuit is dying, get over it.

This is almost laughable

I'd be curious to find out why Battles pulled out. Perhaps they have a reason similar to Bjork's?

No, not really

I just think Sasha is pants. I saw half hour of his set at TDK a few years back and it was incredibly dull.
