Man if ever they were accused of liking radiohead that little bit too much, now is the time. "dark" brass section on song containing "difficult" drum beat with an "electronic influence", anyone?

I can just imagine kele going "right now this albums is going to be our Kid A, ok?"

rubbish :(

Singer of rock band+audience of thousands vs one possibly drunk kid who through a beer or something

what a big man. The wee guy crying made me sad though. Still pretty funny.

And this is where equivocation gets you.

on one place on their own website, which would be read by many more metallica fans than would read all those sites combined.

no order, I completely couldnt

Holy fuck
Dirty Projectors
Why?
Les savy fav
Go team

It was a massive win for me in terms of "bands I didn't think i'd like". I thought holy fuck were a flavour of the month thing but they're completely brilliant. Whilst i don't think i'd listen to les savy fav on record, it was what you want from a live rock show I guess. And i have gone of the go team of late but the atmosphere was just brilliant, all dancing around. Excellent.

and surely there were only 3 people on stage for animal collective...
nevertheless, they were RUBS.
Atlas sound, one of the best of the festival? I was about to leave till he started doing crowd-chatter and revealed he was quite funny. Otherwise it was standard loop-y, ambient rubs.

And yeah, no holy fuck? The stage invasion was one of the highlights of the festival and just listening to the end of Lovely Allen makes me feel all euphoric again. It was amazing. What about Bill calahan? Could anyone that went review it or something. Or someone who didn't, whatever.

I was worried for a while that their "hiatus" might have been permanent.

Excellent news.

For fucks sake :(

BARCELONA
PRIMAVERA
I'M GOING

PREPARE FOR BEST THING EVER

god I love him

COMING SOON

whatever...

not playing glasgow

hopefully they'll get someone better for then.

probably will

which is pretty rubbish because bat for lashes is/are dullathon

One poxy show in london gets pulled so that they can go on an american tour with the biggest band in the world, playing their weird music to tens of thousands of people, and you're all crying into your ticket stubs.

London gets all the shows of all time. Get over it.

it's for from "not shit"

So i can put my name down smugly as "DEFINITELY"

the drums on electric ladyland are completely underrated.

RIP

(disregarding all this indie pop music recently)

Surprising.

Then again, I do try and paint myself as a lost soul. It's been getting me a lot of action, i have to admit.

good job on using this quicktime thingmybob instead of youtube: it's about a million times better and not shit like youtube.

Not really for her, but for this, YES.

Properly, truly.

GIRLS ALOUD ARE MORE POPULAR WITH INDIE KIDS THAN WITH ASDA BUYING PEOPLE.

The amount of credit they get (or they're writing team, rather) for making "just good pop songs" is hilarious. People start talking about it as if it's anything other than horrid, horrid rubbish because some indie guy has gone "hang on a minute guys, i'm NOT an indie snob, I mean, I LOVE...*he thinks about a pop band*... Girls aloud! I've always loved girls aloud! I mean, it's just pop, but it's good pop, yeah?"

SHUT UP SHUT UP SHUT UP SHUT UP

I'm going to kill myself.

I'll probably go to this, then. Was pretty underwhelmed by "night falls..." but since it's so close...

though it's near exams. hmm...

I'll have to see if I have a job by then...

INTERVIEW SNOOP

Fucking brilliant.

And that's why there should an emotional involvement when creating ANY music, and therefore even when it's "cerebral". Its complete crap to imply that anything that isnt AC/DC-ish, Loud rock is some sort of ball-less formula.

For the record, ac/dc are total shit.

"Maths, science and architecture are the enemies of rock music. Love, compassion, volume and raunch are its friends."

He's saying that music inspired by "Maths, science and architecture" cannot contain "Love, compassion, volume and raunch", which is obviously complete bullshit.

I really don't want to know what bands he considers to have these things. If it's The Enemy or whatever other typically "working class" bands he seems to suggest have more soul than the bands mentioned, then his emotional compass must be switched the wrong way round.

I hate how some people's instant reaction to anybody doing anything which might be considered slightly "above their station" is "YEAH! WELL I BET YOU DIDN'T PUT ANY HEART INTO IT! YOU'VE GOT NO SOUL!".

Of course there's heart and soul in good music. Making music (and art) is inherently an emotional process. Just because it's not loud and in your face doesen't mean it's this hollow creation. Listening to foals conjures up more emotion in me than listening to oasis, so I think they've won, whether it's more "cerebral" or not.

I'm basically sick of this attitude, which is the british attitude. As soon as anyone tries to create something artful, or tries to make a difference, or is seen as even slightly "pretentious", they're shot back down to earth ("Where they belong") instead of supported or criticized constructively as a community of artists and art-appreciating people would do.

It's fucking stupid.

N.B i havn't read the article so I don't know it's tone, but this is just a general comment.

(sort of...)

BOO YAH. If anyone would like the context of my now world-renowned "blame zane" quip, send me a letter.
