I really hope they never learn

fuckwits

saw them at SXSW supporting the Von Bondies (who were fantastic)

we thought INC was a comedy act it was just sooooo bad

lots of contrived jumping around like norman wisdom and matching cliche hairdoos/designer jackets

they were too busy thinking they were cool to realise everyone was laughing

the bandwagon has long since gone

no decent songs...in fact I cant even remember what they sounded like it was so forgetable

even uglier than Busted too

if you are their manager I apologise but must commend you on your great promotional skills

hog sir

do i detect subliminal advertising

product placement perhaps?

*chortle*

cowboy chic is back in fashion

just played the track again.... posh guitar sound ......hope you make the drums and bass louder on the final mix.....the world needs loud clattering drums and throbbing bass! vocal stylee is 100% spot on americano sleazeball (which I assume is the nintendo-ed effect)

i expected country rock for some reason

*rummages for supersuckers lp*

in the mood

i dont think anyone minds at all, when a genuinely good band outragously flaunts its wares on the forums

its when the shite ones do it (and go way over the top) that trouble starts

neat tune btw

the moorings is easily one of the best bars in the world

my top 10 pubs in the world would include Jimmys Corner just east of Times Square in NY (if its still there), Sappire in NY (a black hole.....in every sense), Trader Jacks in Stockton on Tees (another pirate-esque bar now sadly ruined by crass profiteering....fantastically loose women and the smell of impending violence) and the tiny one in Amsterdam over the Bridge from the Melkweg in Amsterdam (very mellow), and erm, most bars in Scandanavia ...and the Moorings!. The old wodka bar in Aberdeen was pretty cool untill they ruined it.

Archies is utter shite.

quiffs rule

he is also the side-burn-meister and huge infuence on my shaving habits

will seek out said lp on its release

the media will totally ignore it no doubt

not exactly exited but a bit interested

its a shame a lot of his solo stuff sounded like a Palitoy version of the Smiths....I hope he comes up with some new angles this time round....although I do like it when he goes on a Rockabilly thing like on ''there are certain people I know'' .....or whatever it was called....neat single

trying to hard

therefor non-genius

imo

and Television is a weapon controlled by the government to dumb is down into a coma-state

etc....

cos they are all fucking freaks

and we love freaks

because they make us feel better about ourselves

Maureen to win Back to Reality

can't

really want to

but can't

genuinely frustrating reason too

dammit

but hey, we'd like to play more drakesness v v soon if you can squeeze us in ....will be down on weds nite to chat

erm,

Real Shocks are NOT playing said evening of fun at Drakes

(I expect we'll be accused of dropping out 'again'.....but we were never on the bill in le first place)

Much apologies to Al and rest for any confuzion.....events outwith our control have taken over

But everyone should still go to see the fab Kirby and the lovely Reno Amps!

Ill be there......but drinking beer instead of playing any tunes *hoo-fucking-ray says entire aberdeen scene*

i said poo

not pop

cant say id get too hung up about the durans fatness, age or cosmetic enhanchement

elvis was great when he was like that

i just think they do poo music

I can see arguments for and against this but my natural instict is to say o_O ?

It has to be the other wya around surely? Radiohead for the thinker.

im also confused cos i think muse are fantastic and radiohead a bit dull

both i agree both are in similar territory

maybe radiohead songs seem to ask for sympathy and Muse songs usually go on the attack.....lyrically Im talking

its probably something like that

i also reckon Matt Bellamy vocals and piano/guitaring are way ahead of the watered down sonic youth guitar workouts of radiohead

if didnt exist I would probably think Radiohead were brilliant

the early stuff like creep etc is dire though

erm,

none

maybe i think that cos i dont eat prozac and ive never attempted suicide and I cant relate to posh arty wankers being all deep, dark and spooky...

but me mum likes them

that album that everyone likes.....erm......the big hit one

i blame the menopause

are muse a thinking mans radiohead ???

i think so

(this is only an opinion.....something blatantly missing from these boreds lately)

I saw less than that and quickly switched to my saved game of super monkey ball 2

much less boring instead

still cant resist the opportunity to say horrible things about fannies like the durannies

i think theyve always been shit and still are very shit

too much going on with blonde highlights and false tan

gross misuse of synthesisers

wankers

The only relevance they have is to the advertisers and promoters keeping their publication afloat............ but now its become highly affected by the money of the advertisers.

Put it this way, i can remember a time when writers like Steven Wells, David Quantick or Johnny Cigarettes would've ripped shit like The Darkness or Kings Of Leon apart, nowadays there's no-one like them guys, just a bunch of poshkids trying to replicate Lester Bangs' style of writing, its hilariously patronising and thats the only entertaining thing about it all, the fact that its become everything you thought it would never become.

They just seem to jump at every whim of the record companies now, everything they write is supremely affected by them.......revenue.

yup

which is exactly why you daft NME junkies should cease procurement of said comic.....do you realise you are propping up the very thing you supposedly detest by buying it each week....if you keep buying corrupted media they will keep selling to ya and nothing will ever change

if you support the mainstream and the underground will stay dead forever

NME might have had some integrity years ago and been a decent read too....but its been smash hits V2.0 for fucking years now

also see the Au Pairs

girls go Gang of Four

sound fresh even though its from 79/80 ish

fuck...

what do i mean ''even though''

tons of stuff from then sounds fresh in todays turgid pile of poo

agree that Pere Ubu were cack however

filthy lucre - pistols

better than bollocks in places

aha

those leopard skin shoes

tis merely an observation of your rather close freindship with said ex band member

hence, you dont have to be Inspector fuckin Cleuso to see whats behind you obssessive shocks hate campaign

Judging by some of the winging bullshit we've heard in town, Dels taken it badly and blames everyone but himself, as is his way (see Northsound Fiasco....he blames the Management, The listeners and then the people who tried to support him)

The only other explanation which would then exonerate said DJ, would be that you are a lunatic who has done some incredibly poor research into who/what we are and for no apparent reason wants confrontation with one or all of us. Even knowing that you are a bit odd, its difficult to see why you would want to create that situation without someone pulling your strings and giving you a motive.

Paranoia on our part. No. Someone else pointed this out to us. Actually a few people have said the same thing.

Puppet boy

Hows you band coming on anyway?

Doing fuck all?

Thought you might be.

- mummy mummy can i go on my compoota and be nasty to all the people inside it?

- No little zombie, just cuddle your inflatable Del Franklin like a good little boy!

- Awww but mummy, Dels burst again and theres goo all over my little twisted hands.......waaaaaaaah waaaaaaah

etc.
