  1. Far from shite, all-in-all, I thought. Definitely the best show I've seen Dedalus give. I'm glad to see they've discovered da funk, and they've found some tunes as well. One in particular, with just a few lines repeated over-and-over, was the best song I've heard by a local band. If there is a recording available, and I'd part with my cash for it alone

    : ( are great, as are any band who get a blonde girl and a dark girl on stage to do very little, if anything. Like the Human League in that respect. Fab.

    I'm sorry to be down on a band with Phil in it, but Genevieve were horrible. They recalled Tigerfin and the Lorenzo Snow Collective and all those other rockers who don't consider playing Cafe Drummonds to be a degrading experience for any dignified human being. And swamp brown long sleeve t-shirts and baggy stonewash jeans is the worst uniform ever.

  2. Death From Above 1979 - Little Girl

    The Postal Service - Such Great Heights

    Ladytron - Destroy Everything You Touch

    Splendid tracks, all, but you're a bit behind the curve there, child.

    Weekends and Bleak Days by The Young Knives it not just a "good tune" etc, it is THE MOST IMPORTANT SONG IN THE WORLD TODAY. EVERYONE NEEDS to hear it. NOW

  3. I saw it yesterday, and I thought after about the first hour or so that it was just another Frederik Forsyth-style thriller. But it got much better when the homeland versus family dilemma was introduced. I was glad that was its central theme, rather than moral dilemma of "an eye for an eye" which is a well-worn one.

    When was the cheesy dialogue hinted at? I didn't notice

  4. Haha is that the Chelsea defence?!

    I know Westhill's not in town! I used to go swimming in Westhill (as much as I hated entering Westhill)!

    Mourinho's description of the Tottenham defence ;). Come to think of it, Paul Robinson is almost as chunky as...nevermind

    But, bus from Westhill to town + bus from town to Culter = 2 buses!

  5. Would you have to get two buses to get to Culter? you can get a bus to Culter from town..

    As it happens, Westhill isn't in town!

    And what's with asking that other lot? Are you hoping for someone to embody the tactic Mourinho called "parking the bus infront of the goal"?

  6. ive always thought it strange that Artic Monkeys seem so unashamedly middle class. See the lyrics to A Certain Romance - basically an attack on working class/chav culture.

    But doesn't he then say something like "but they're my friends", like he's acknowledging he belongs to that class, for better or worse? I haven't heard the song, but I'm sure that was quoted in the NME review

  7. Lyrically they are the second coming of Jarvis Cocker and that at least is not a bad thing. Musically and aesthetically uninspiring though. And although the lyrics are decent I'm too middle class to really relate them.

    And I've got too shit a connection to download their songs, apparently. Infact, most of their fans must be middle-class to do this. How working-class is it to have Broadband?

    Still, they're a GOOD THING. Just not for people who think that the backing-track to a song is the be-all-and-end-all
