This is certainly in the 90 percent of DiS that's crap, and is also plain wrong to boot.

Death take your fiddle = Waiting around to die by Townes Van Zandt. They're both great though...

It's a beautiful, beautiful record.

who is supporting them on the Cardiff gig?" you're probably not asking... well, I'll tell you anyway. Fresh from last week's Dead Meadow and Youthmovies gig:

Relevant jags are the best kind.

...was very nice, but live I thought they were outstanding. Tis a shame they're not playing in Cardiff this time round.

Maybe this interperator could tell me what nepitism means.

This No Sleep Police band sound interesting, maybe they should do some gigs so, y'know, people can actually hear them and stuff. And if anyone's bored of the "incestuous" music scene... try putting on some gigs yourself, with music you like and would want to see. And stop moaning about it.

I just hope it's industrial strength.

You do realise the Barfly stinks of shit and is the worst venue in the world? Apart from that, good news - I await further news with interest...

thank you for making me laugh so much as an early act of a working day. And yes, the album is stunningly good, it kicks several shades of shit out of most albums released this year.

And they were fucking mint. I'd waited years to see them, they did not disappoint.

it was TOTAL Network Solutions. The company then fucked off from Llansantffraid and took the name with them.

done by Akron/Family.

I love the now Explosions album, but this tops it for me - totally lovely, and track 3 makes me dance around like a loon - something most "post-rock" lacks.

By the way, isn't "post-rock" an utterly ghastly term? Love the music, hate the tag...

is one of the best live acts I've ever seen. I'm going to go to this...

Broken Leaf stuff (ie me) at www.myspace.com/brokenleafmusic

What a nice man...

and lord, how I love it so. Very funny and very dark at the same time.

5th Feb: The Secret Show - Impressionist Road Map of the West.

Keep it up, I like you.

He's Lee Hazlewood, he can do what he wants! I'll pick this up today anyway, so hopefully it's not as disturbing as you make out... xXx

I love Lee Hazlewood. A new version of Some Velvet Morning makes me very happy indeed...

The more pity I get the better.

By the way, I maintain Matt Lucas is the singer in the Gossip too.

From that performance and the picture above, I can only conclude it's Chris Morris' new project.

why Lisa Germano cancelled? I was gonna make the trip down to London for that, I'm glad I didn't now...

Best ever review on DiS.

but he'd more likely to set up hidden cameras.

Fucked up the ass by Jeremy Beadle or fucked up the ass by Noel Edmunds?

Make them stop. Now. This song was bad enough the first time round.

Damn right it'll surprise people! It's gonna be good....

Rachel Cawley is my new favourite person. Good on yer.

And no, they didn't rip off Jarcrew. Jarcrew were good.

The album is great too, especially the Low cover.

They sure are!

A (mis)quote from Julian Cope at a recent gig: "Coldplay are timeless: because their songs are about nothing, they'll be about nothing forever."

Was that "thwack" the sound of Mike hitting Adam or Adam hitting Mike? It's a good word anyhow.

True, but at least clwb doesn't have any pillars that obscure the view for about a third of room!

Hmm, going to Cardiff barfly and complaining about the sound is a bit like going to the antartic and complaining about the chill.

But yeah, great choices in the list, fair play to you all. And thank you for not mentioning Antony and his Johnson.

I know it's utterly predictable to debate the choices, but for my money Superwolf by Bonnie Prince Billy and Matt Sweeney was fucking great.
