  1. Arctic Monkeys - 'Whatever People Say I Am That's What I'm Not'

    Isobel Campbell and Mark Lanegan - 'Ballad Of The Broken Seas'

    Editors - 'In The Back Room'

    Guillemots - 'Through The Windowpane'

    Richard Hawley - 'Coles Corner'

    Hot Chip - 'The Warning'

    Muse - 'Black Holes & Revelations'

    Zoe Rahman - 'Melting Pot'

    Lou Rhodes - 'Beloved One'

    Scritti Politti - 'White Bread Black Beer'

    Sway - 'This Is My Demo'

    Thom Yorke - 'The Eraser'

    the selection criteria seems to be decent* albums with VERY dodgy album titles

    *excludes Hot Chip who are this years Helicopter Girl

  2. I could record the sound of me chopping up a pile of acoustic intruments with an axe, does that count? It would be for charity obviously. Donation of your vile acoustic devices for such a good cause* would be greatly welcome. :gringo:

    *charity of choice - TBA

  3. Orson write bollocks hideous music for non-music lovers as does that webber knob.

    Valid critism and comment I feel and therefor the thread has a point. More point than most threads. Some dick on the radio actually went ''What a great tune'' after playing an insipid Orson track. He should now be prevented from broadcasting or commenting on ''music''.

    Also - the lyrics are as completely shit as those by Webber. Truly awful and pointless - unless the point is making money from people who have too much but dislike music

    Phantom of the Opera is an abomination. The government really should intervene and get this shite removed from our society. Never mind a fucking pointless knife amnesty.

    In fact what is worse than Orson?

    Ok Phil collins is, and probably Phantom of the Opera, but is there anything else that sounds as musically grotesque as Orson????????

  4. Perhaps retract my last statement. It seems we may manage something.

    I cannot name a single song until it has been discussed with thought.

    My quiff requires no work though. :D

    KBK can play Elvisness if required, in a half human half robot format (we'll use a sequencer/sampler as a stand in for our drummer and bassist who are both out of the country on the date of the gig). We will also need to buy an ''Elvis for Easy Guitar/Piano'' songbook pronto.

    Failing that, I have a vast selection of Elvis Mugs (mostly aquired in Blackpool) that I could put on display.

  5. Everything they did is essential. Including the Peel session releases. Funnily enough theres a fantastic track that was on the B side of RELEASE THE BATS called BLAST OFF. Im sure its on a best of compo. Blast cap - Blast off geddit?! Cave does a 25 second scream that you will no doubt appreciate. I need to go and play it now.

  6. Lady Sov :love: is wasted on rubbish like the very-ordinary boys imo

    a feeble attempt to add credibility to boring indie/pub-rock

    what will their management think of next? celeb BB again? a Peter Kay collaboration, a chrismas single? Preston nude in Mens Health? (very surprised they havent done a world cup tune to be honest)

    at least they beat un-Hard Fi to it

  7. the keyboard played loops no??

    im sure keyboard was a stage prop and the keys were played by a sequencer which could be discretely started by anyone in the band

    too much random organ bashing to beleive it was actually playing any notes or triggering any loops (both require a certain degree of accuracy).....either that or the guy is a concert pianist diguised as an indie mentalist....ooooooor it was a combination of both....the main riffs were sequenced with additional random live stuff played over the top...thats the most likely/do-able

    sounded fab though and thats the main thing

    the next phase of KBK development involves sequencer usage also yo!

  8. Why name the band after a film you haven't seen though!?

    We did consider simply stealing a name from a film that we had seen and really liked, but we knew before we tried, that we would never agree

    It would have been like

    Sharon Transformers The Movie or Spongebob Squarepants The Movie

    Me - Starship Troopers or Magic Roundabout Dougal and the Blue Cat

    Nik - Blade Runner or Barbarella

    Dan European Pussy Lickers 7

    Im not 100% sure if any of those would have worked as a band name.

  9. Kill Baby...Kill

    ''Described by Radio 1s Vic Galloway as "simply impossible to interview" and by his co presenter Gill Mills as "A dirty and beautiful noise", the Paris/Aberdeen based pop experi-mentalists Kill Baby... Kill take influences from daytime television, shoes and international glamorous discothques. To date, their reputation is built entirely on a handful of live performances and some incendiary 2 Track cassette recordings (soonly available as downloads check myspace for updates). Lyrically bizarre and musically reckless the sound of K.B.K. is improbably satisfying, and acheives its mission - to completely disregard the rules of pop music.''
