Re: Radio virgin Vic Reeves gets own show
I hear Vic Reeves is a huge Fall fan, so that's at least one good tune per show.
Did anyone else see Baddiel and Skinner last night? Played How I wrote Elastic Man by the Fall, I never knew Baddiel could play the guitar and was quite good at it as well.

Re: Drunken nights, lagered fights - what's your favourite indie night?
Um, Fan Club was open the last time I went, Oxygen is the one that shut.
It's alright but I always seem to turn up on 80's night and have middle aged women trying to grope me.
I usually go to Mosh cause Fan Club is a bloody long way from where I live.

New album from Weezer, 'Make Believe'
It's funny how much people are being negative about this album on the back of one single.

Brandon Flowers: "In England, they don't move at all."
"I think they appreciate music more in England because they're not as spoiled as we are, you know, with the movies and cars and toys."
What, is Britain a third world country compared to the US?
"We have a song called 'Midnight Show' and in America they love it. In England they don't move at all. What's wrong with them?"
Maybe cause it's proberbly shit and we have a bit of common sense ;-)
CUNT!!!
