like crying. That Pirates of the Caribbean song makes me feel like crying. I want the proper Biffy Clyro back please!

for the liquid ingredients too please!

The only "cups" I have in my kitchen are giant mugs for hot chocolate, little thimble things for saki or something, and a couple of different sized mugs. Why does America insist on not using scales to measure ingredients like everyone else?! If someone could convert these cups into ounces or even grams that would be much more useful.

Otherwise, looks yummy!

Lisbon on Thursday night she was pretty good, haven't really heard of her before now but I enjoyed it. Was a little bit intimidated by the size of her jumper though - she looked like a giant bat :(

I was ruthless with packing.

Therefore I have no band t-shirts with me :(
Sad times :(

Napster make it sound like they've "won" or converted Metallica or something. Sadly though, Napster is now just another waste of virtual space - a ground-breaking technology reined in and brought (or should I say bought) under the control of business men intent on restricting technological advancement by imposing old out-dated models of business on it.

At the end of the day, Metallica and their record label will be getting their money; they will not give a shit what the middleman is called.

My mum reads the Daily Mail and it really does makes me want to cry.

Guessed some of them too though :S

copyright law allows a person to put emtional, financial and physical effort into a creative work, and then allows a business man to buy the right to copy that work as much as he likes, regardless of whether the artist ends the agreement or not.
The contracts signed by artists are rarely, if ever, fair. Of course they get the financial backing to produce more songs and maybe even make a living off their work, but that shouldn't mean that they lose the right to copy their work, and more importantly, to reclaim that borrowed right from others.

Legal rant over. B sides would be amazing, a new singles compilation is a waste of time imo. :)

how fucked up copyright law is. Those songs belong to the band, yet their label has the freedom to pilfer what they want from them, even after they've parted ways. Bastards!

speaking on Radio One when Jo Whiley di dher show from other people's houses. He sounded like the most unpleasant, narky, nasty little twat anyone could have the misfortune to meet. Now I know why being sent to Coventry is such a bad thing.

This means therefore that I have little time for this horrid little boy's rantings and ravings. I only clicked on the story in the hope that The Enemy were splitting up or being locked away. I am very disappointed.

She got her first two Goldfrapp albums stolen from her car by the kids next door. I've just bought Seventh Tree for her for Mother's Day. :S

Only the love of my family and friends brings me back from the brink, with a milder urge to simply cut off my ears.

the sound was terrible for them, I was very annoyed by that. But overall the evening was pretty darn good - I loved what I could hear of Los Campesinos, and Future of the Left to a degree, and of course Les Savy Fav.

No offence to anyone here, but I thought the audience was a bit rubbish - didn't seem to want to enjoy the evening.

that someone in the year above us once put a dead mole in our emotional over-fragile music teacher's desk drawer. And someone in the year below us locked her in a cupboard.

She was such easy prey...

Confetti, rainbows, kittens and unicorns, everything a video should have by law.
I love Rainbow Brite-style rainbows, they're the best kind of rainbow after double rainbows.

I liked his first album. So, um, there you go.

I have already expressed my dislike of this band. I will certainly not be buying their album. They do no warrant media coverage of any kind.

Brilliant, and well done to those lucky devils who got their questions answered :D

is a little yellow badge that says merit on it, accompanied by a small paper certificate declaring who received the merit and for what.
Mine were often for being ace at spelling, or being helpful or shit like that.
I do not know why Ryan Adams got a Merit Award.

I'M GOING TO SEE THEM IN MANCHESTER!!!!!

I have made 8th November SHINS DAY in my diary. I can't wait! :D :D :D :D

Could we perhaps all form orderly queues for beheading rubbish pop people? Line them up at a fair and charge 50p a go?

You beat me to it!

Yaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay!

That's not very nice is it?

(That's not a question for the competition by the way)

for an irrational fear of zombies?

(It's a real problem for me - it's all I can do not to run down the stairs in our building because I am that afraid of seeing one. Worst is whilst I'm waiting for the lift and I'm afraid to look at the building's glass front doors in case I see them trying to get in.)

Now I am on the warpath lol.

Fair points, there are bigger and worse things than those delightful little cancersticks, and yes I know I will never win the arguement for a full ban because, as you correctly point out, drinking and walking down the street can cause just as much damage. But a girl can dream can't she?! And she can be in a nark about other matters and vent her narky spleen on unsuspecting comment boards on occasion? Sometimes. Maybe. Sorry :(

I'd ban smoking outright. I haven't been to any gigs since the ban, but I've been to pubs and cafes. It's great being able to go out and not have to cram my inhaler into my bag and coming back and not smelling smoke on my clothes, hair and pillow (in the morning that is - obviously I don't take my pillow out with me!)
However when you want to have a cup of tea outside at a cafe (and when the weather is nice and there is outdoor seating, who doesn't?) and you realise that even with all that "fresh air" you're still coughing and breathing in smoke, it gets on your nerves. I had a bad cough/cold recently and foolishly thought that sitting outside would help as I'd be getting fresh air and my temperature would be cancelled out by the cooler air. What a silly idea. I even ended up with some woman sat on my table who not only lit up when she could see I was coughing, but then proceeded to start complaining with some other smoker about how she didn't like being told where she could smoke.

So if I had my way, I'd ban the whole sodding thing. There's no benefit to smoking a cigerette. No-one in their right mind would suggest it was their right and their choice etc to go and sit in a burning building because they wanted to have a couple of lungfuls of smoke. I hate walking down the street behind someone else's stream of smoke just as much as I hated sitting in other people's smoke in pubs and clubs and bars.
Don't get panicky though, the government won't do something this benefitial for the country's health until they've at least sorted out the pensions crisis. What a relief eh?

I was by no means awake enough to consider irony.

I will learn from this though....

I do! I do!
Still get friendster email updates in my junk box but never check it anymore.

What does it mean if you use Myspace AND Facebook? Does that make you an educated tramp?

I should probably learn to read all the comments before spluttering my disbelief needlessly all over the place.

Sorry!

"DiS favourites James Blunt..."

Is this the same James Blunt that makes fucking awful songs and has affectionately become rhyming slang for a naughty word?

if this stupid Capital of Culture title has any bearing on the rest of the country. You'd think it'd count for something when booking bands wouldn't you? Is anyone outside of Liverpool even aware of the sodding thing?!
I hate going to Manchester for gigs when there are perfectly acceptable venues in my own city.
>:(

Also, just to throw my musical opinion into the mix, I have to agree that they are a fantastic singles band, although they have that steady, constant kind of popularity and not the sensational kind of intense popularity that seems to be the norm these days. Maybe that suggests that it is, sadly, a good thing if they do split now. Maybe. Still going to miss them ! :(

Ash was the first band I went to see with my boyfriend and we made a pact that if we happened to meet the band afterwards, I was allowed to kiss Tim and he was allowed to kiss Charlotte, and there would be no upset involved.
Then a couple of weeks later we did meet them at a signing, but we were too shy to kiss any of them and instead I had a quick discussion about the film Ghost World with Tim.
I do like Ash, they will be missed if they do split, although as already mentioned, you never know until its on the official site (and even then, you still never know until it actually happens!)

Prince has been living in "Princeworld" for some time now...

anything to do with Prince always makes me think of this Kevin Smith quote.

Urgh.

You've used the wrong "to". A month or two makes much more sense.

Yaaay for Biffy Clyro I liketh them a lot and always enjoy seeing them live. So nurh nurh nr nurh nurh.

Yaaaaaaay yaaay yay yaaaaaaaaay yaaaay!
I LIKE Iron and Wine A LOT!!

Its fun to listen to them on t'radio, reminds me of many a happy evening playing in my room and listening to their albums. I had them all apart from "Take That and Party".

so it doesn't count :P

was on the radio in my gym the other day and it made me want to cry. Not in a "oh thats beautiful" sort of way, but in a "oh dear god no!" way.

Not me! But my mum does. She loves it. She likes the one that goes (quote) "If I lay here ... if i just lay here...meepmeepmepmeeeep meeep meeeep...."

Tickets for Manchester - sold out :(

The Waitrose in our town last less than a year, before moving to Formby where they're a bit posher. Or so they'd like to think.

with battles and battle. Very confused indeed :S

I have an irrational fear of zombies. Nobody understands.

Of voting that is - I don't particularly want to be an NME.com user and give them all my details.

there's nothing more fun than empathising with a drug-addled fool. Depending on how empathic you are, it can be a really cheap and much safer way of experimenting with drug-user's drug of choice.

More empathy please!! wooo!

You have to now, regardless! You can't string us along like that!
