aye cos they'd learnt how to play by this point!!!!

me! great record, i still think its floyd's best and i went to school with syd barrett's niece!!!!

and she was a weirdo as well!

but it was the way sutherland arse licked them as if they were gods and the only band on this earth that pissed me off.

in fact i was so angry that i wrote to nme for the first time in my life, they didn't print my letter but did print other peoples who had the same view.

it was lazy arse licking selling papers journalism

really sets you up for a saturday night....

ooh touchy!!!!!

i think the day NME really died was when ex melody maker writer steve sutherland wrote a peice praising coldplay

hmm thats prob why they're still in business!!!

ah i remember the good old days when you could buy record mirror, sounds, NME and Meilody Maker on a wednesday....

kept me off the glue and acid tabs for at least one day a week in the 80's....

mine is 'paris in the spring' by PIL, hardly any overdubs (only to extinguish the sound of the crowd booing who were apparently expecting some pistols songs).

also the band took a 30 grand advance for the album and recording it straight from the mixing desk so it cost the price of a reel to reel tape! which was nice.

another fave is The Cult live at the Marquee in 1991, it was given away as a free album with their best of set in 1993.

with you there stu, i think my patience is finally beginning to snap. then i heard the wet behind the ears just out of journalist school (or even high school) editor conor mcnicholas doing a review show on the world service and he was so clueless about music it was bloody frightening.

didn't bother listening to the CD, and now i dont need to mr maxwell!

nah i loved celebrity skin, i doubt the new album will be as good as that but i heard a track on the radio the other day and it sounded pretty good so i shall invest in a copy

It's definitely a hard habit to kick. My first NME was in 1988 - Morrissey drinking from a bottle of Ecover washing up liquid. Since then I've not missed an issue, despite the fact it enrages and depresses me now. I think those who started buying it when it was really good find the addiction harder to break. I think Delbert will back me up on this - we've often shared the same gripe.

i certainly do, i really am at the stage of actually seeking help to stop buying the NME, its far worse than trying to kick smoking, drinking or drugs. each week now is the same, i tell myself i'm not gonna buy it, i'm in safeways on a thursday and think 'now i know i shouldn't buy it, its gonna take me 10 mins to read, i dont even do the crossword anymore' but something nags in the back of my brain, 'if i don't buy it i may just miss something...'

as chicago once memorably said 'its a hard habit to break'

they're deffo doing it with the needles and vic galloways band hail caesar, middle of march i believe

yeah the libertines, never saw them in the same light after you made that menswear comparison. so typical of an 'NME' band of the new millenium.

like that bit they wrote on glasgow a couple of months ago, they're stupid clueless attempts at journalism rarely spread out of the capital unless its one of their cliche ridden rock n roll excess tours.

and zane lowe best radio show? the man sounds like a deranged lunatic on speed

that actually is a good point christie

if i had my way the nme wouldn't comment on anything, the useless arse licking whoever is trendy and will sell papers shites

about as predictable as me getting pished tonight....

although quite incredible the strokes didn't win anything

yes the rolling stones or latter period stone roses sadly didn't experiment with flutes....

well the stones might have but they'd have been too 'stone' to remember

some unofficial fudge award rumours.....

brian and craig will simulate an act of sexual nature on the stage involving empty bottles of vodka and a cardboard cutout of denim boogie rock experts status quo

zombie munch will win 'most punchable person' award and will promptly invite the entire audience to 'come and have a go if you think your hard enough'

the most shaggable female award will be won by a goat

special guest for the night will be frank gilfeather who will duet with the gloria flaw on a version of kelly maries (no not her from river city but some late 70's disco bird) 'feels like im in love'

members of sidca will stay sober

oh you talented boy phil

hard to believe that you once treaded the boards with mercedes

i bet you drink coffee from tibet when listening to that

twas the yodelling that put me off....

oh phil i just knew you were gonna say that!!!!

blimey you better sit down and have a nice cup of tea, i once was subjected to listen to the 'work' of focus and as a result have never really fully recovered since.

you have my sympathy, get well soon

i bought a couple of old CD's by PIL, does that count???

oh and i got a freebie copy of the simple kid album, its wicked

i bet shaggy is sitting in a room somewhere grumbling like fuck that sean paul has stolen his thunder....

and whatever happened to shaggy's bumchum pal Rayvon?

in fact whatever happened to shaggy? does anyone care?
