  1. not sure about Juicebox, nice bassline and guitar but the vocals are pretty rank heard some stuff of the nu album on the radio and it sounded pretty good, but maybe I was trying too hard to like it, hoping for a return to form ala the debut album its gonna be one of those albums ill need to hear before buying it
  2. i saw it last week and it was really quite bad but will no doubt watch it if im in
  3. a debut starting with Annie Mac would be a good way of getting your night noticed from the start or getting LCD Soundsystem (live show) back to the deen would be a scoop
  4. Dels not capable of moving on obviously. Funny thing is, there were other people (Gogs/Mike/Kerry) who played in Real Shocks who I still get on with with despite them leaving the band during its 3 years of nano activity. No hassle and we've all still got time for each other and might even wanna work on the odd thing together in the future if thats the way it pans out. But its unlikely anyone in our contingent will ever give Del the time of day. Shame, but its down to him.
  5. Its not vitamins....the secret is never buying a lawnmower! Ive seen guys of 25 go into B&Q and come out looking 50, once you go down that road you are totally doomed!
  6. this is the funniest thread Ive seen for a while and half flattered half pissing myself laughing! hey, the way Del is ranting you might actually think he's bitter after being booted out of a band for being a drunkard and a gob-shite who never stopped slagging of his own band members........ being in Lesters band is great btw! - two grown ups and two kids makes decent mix of youth and experience thankyoooooo!
  7. Recording is what Im most interested in cos its a massive mindfuck thats either beautifully satisfying or completely awful depending on the results - but its always interesting and has a massive element of randomness in it that gives me a buzz - Im really into production and song writing/programming machines etc so its obvious Im more at home in a studio Playing live is a short lived buzz and usually a laugh but dosent have the same challenge or end product to it as recording - still highly diggable, but Ive usually forgot about it by the next day The biggest buzz Ive known is playing live on the radio, which is a mixture of performing and recording really = mega buzz!
  8. Joe MaCRAPPERTY is the best serious solo performer in the world cos she smelt one of Midge Ures farts in front of 9 zillion people once so you are all crap an Joe is best Cheers, Jester 54321 (using Betamax's PC)
  9. ''mainstream artists like Mylo, Tim Deluxe, Steve Lawler, Royksopp, never-ending list...'' see that bit that says mainstream in the original post thats why somewhere the size of the Forum would be needed, stick any of the above on a poster and you'll fill the place, The Tunnels would probably struggle to even afford the rider and would not be able to recoup the fees without charging about 30 quid on the door. Same for Snafu. (no offence meant its just thet those artists will charge a lot yus) sounds like a job for an experienced promoter though, Grafyte do have experience of this cos its quite an ambitious thing if you havent already done stuff like this before
  10. For putting on stuff like Mylo, Snafu and The Tunnels would be too small The Forum would be better I like the idea of an electronica based night thats leaning between the left feild and the mainstream however....sounds neat At the moment everything is either way too mainstream or trying-too-hard-to-be-underground ....there is a huge gap in the market imo
  11. Snafu and bottle of Red if that counts as a pub otherwise nowhere at this time of year cos everywheres full of wanks on xmas doos - too much spew on the floor/in the sinks/urinals etc
  12. 5 Hot Fuss - The Killers 795,500 6 Scissor Sisters - Scissor Sisters 751,000 79 Love Angel Music Baby - Gwen Stefani 685,000 15 The Singles - Basement Jaxx 549,100 17 The Massacre - 50 Cent 531,000 42 Late Registration - Kanye West 291,000 43 The Documentary - The Game 289,000 44 Get Behind me Satan - The White Stripes 281,000 49 Rhythm & Gangsta - Snoop Dogg 248,000 50 Push the Button - The Chemical Brothers 244,000 53 Their Law - The Singles - The Prodigy 229,232 55 You Could Have it so Much Better - Franz Ferdinand 209,000 73 Supernature - Goldfrapp 173,500 13!!! Im sooo fuckin mainstream me only two of the above are bit crap
  13. Joesephines last gig? Cannae go anyway* like but why are they no more? *Nitelife commitments in Newcastle
  14. They live in Bridge of Don, he drives a Nova SRi and she drives the Renault Clio her dad bought her when she passed her test after failing the first 3 times. They shop at Tesco, B&Q and Next and their favorite film of all time is Titanic or anything with Eddie Murphy in it. As well as the above, they also still own the Celine Dion single they had played at the ''Touch of Class'' wedding disco. They decided to buy it from Amazon and hand it to the DJ just in case he did'nt have it. Its got their newly married name written on the cracked jewel case. The DJ lost the cover. All their other CDs came free with the News of the World. Every fucking Sunday. They are always called Kev and Claire. Occasionally Louise. Sometime Claire-Louise.
  15. is ''artsy'' a new word? a lazy way for people in rock to describe everything else thats new sounding and therefor un-rock? rock is truly dead but Im sure we shouldnt just bracket a whole range of new styles together as ''arsty'' just because the songs are not about bumming Satan or drinking whisky on a highway in Alabama (with the Devil no doubt)......theres a lot more to it than that
