True, Bona Drag is a compilation, but only two of the songs are on a studio album, namely Everyday Is like Sunday and Suedehead. And basically, everyone in the world should be made to own November Spawned A Monster. And how would they do that? By buying Bona Drag. So less of the numbnuts, please. Also, Your Arsenal is ace! How can you suggest Kill Uncle ahead of it????? 8o

Have people been reading this right? It says smoking at the bar, not in the pub. And smoking at the bar was supposedly outlawed fucking ages ago, hence why plenty of pubs have signs saying "Please do not smoke at the bar." Or at least that's what I've always thought. Fuck passive smoking, other people smoking makes me stink like a fucking chimney. That's a good enough reason to ban smoking in pubs in my book! And if you have contact lenses, smokey atmospheres really dry your eyes. I know it's hard to take but she has made her mind up.

Ha! Try telling that to people who stand within ten feet of me the day after I've been out on the pish. Guinness makes SUCH good farts. Although you also get a steaming big dump.

So what if they've been struggling away for years? Perhaps they were pish before? I'm no Snow Patrol fan' date=' especially after having to listen to every one of the singles off their album almost every fucking day, but from all accounts I've heard that their earlier stuff is utter shite. Saying they deserve the prize because they've been struggling away for years is basically saying the Mercury prize should be awarded for effort rather than quality. Although it's a shame it's not even awarded for that.... anyway, that's the musical equivalent of saying Paul Dickov deserves his place in the Scotland team because "he puts in a lot of effort", which doesn't hide the fact he's pish. PS I am in no way a Franz Ferdinand fan. Although I have danced to Take Me Out a few times. [/rant']

I'd go along with that. It doesn't seem to be anything new, but then that's why I love AC/DC! I'd certainly go and see you live, and probably buy a CD too. Unless the vocals end up being really annoying or something. Actually that's a good point, don't fuck these up with pretend American vocals, like a lot of bands seem to do.

That sounds like some song I know, but I can't put my finger on it. Either that or some riff I made up myself. Either way I definitely recognise it. Good, but not as good as the second one. Too slow methinks. Maybe it'd be great depending on the drums and bass.

Lost In The Supermarket is indeed ace, although I'll go with Mr louie that The Card Cheat is possibly better. But the supreme Clash song for me is probably Complete Control, I'm So Bored Of The USA or White Riot.

Anyone can join in (please do). First reason: When he joined the Clash (then still the London SS), he basically said "this stuff is a load of pish. THIS is what we should be doing" and made them completely rethink their direction and rewrite their songs. I would love to do that. Join a band and say "You're shite. Do this instead" and turn them into one of the most important bands ever! I have a nasty feeling this may be replyless thread...

Get Bona Drag. It's a compilation of his earliest singles, since he used to release non-album singles. Then get Viva Hate, his first album. Then get Vauxhall & I, his best album. Then get You Are The Quarry, his latest one. Then get Your Arsenal, his fourth best album. Then get Kill Uncle. Don't bother with Maladjusted and Southpaw Grammar though.

That's ace. Ummm....... there's actually nothing I can think of to comment on, cos it's all good. I actually like the strings like that, cos it sounds like the ones Mike Patton uses on God Hates A Coward on Tomahawk, and I find that real strings makes stuff sound like over-produced pish like The Verve. Ace title too by the way. Go and put up a shite demo so our noses can look a little less brown.

There was singing??!?!?!?! Bad recording, it sounded all muffled and stuff, but I like the riffs. In fact I love the riffs. Especially the less heavier one.

That's quite good. I'd say there's nothing wrong with the drums myself. Nice melody. With a really good bass riff, that could be something pretty darn good.

I don't think The Leader Of Men would be seen on an internet forum. He's far too cool for that.

Dedalus are astounding. Of course, it depends what your tastes are.

...you have a secret passion for giving people haircuts?

HAHAHA!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Thankfully not. And I'm not related to the Morrices in ANY way, which is also a blessing. I am the one and only (or at least I thought so until I tried to register it as my hotmail account name and found out there are several pretenders to my throne) King Doug.

I'm just (half) joking. It's just that whenever someone is described as a "singer songwriter", it usually means they sound like David Gray or Damien Rice or something. To be honest, I'm absolutely fucking useless at singing and playing guitar at the same time, although I'm reliably infromed by a mate of mine (who has himself been described with the dreaded "singer songwriter" term!) that it comes with practice (Oooh err matron!)
