As is Velocity Girl
(the song not the band) Although the band was pretty great too
Fascinating comment
Thumbs up
That's not early at all!
but it is the result of too much heroin.
I had some really nice gold ones
With gold connectors and gold wire and that. They got stolen by Sonic Boom, the get.
incredibl
y boring, I thought

Yep tickets on the door won't be a problem
...get there earlier rather than later though!

and Tommy is right - don't say 'vinyls', it makes you sound like a nodder
Consider them done
Thanks!
set list...
...exactly the same songs they've been playing over and over for years and years.
But that's no bad thing - they are awesome songs
I run it too...
...and I thought I was your mate too :(
Anyway, thanks for this Theo! Everybody make sure that you come along.
Additions to the line-up
More artists confirmed... Boxcutter and Soeza for 15 November; Hreda and Secondsmile for 10 November; Action Beat and From Light To Sound on 6 November.
Yahoo!
Yes there is
aka Who gives a toss ?
*you*
not 'out'
if out get a pen with smooth sides
You can jam it in the hole and then slowly make it bigger with a bit of restrained brute force... Be careful though!
Is it definitely the needle?
Sometimes if the centre hole is slightly too small, it'll stick a bit and slow down the record turning a bit. Could be that maybe?
Yeah it's properly bleak I reckon
a lot of other stuff mentioned in this thread is kind of sad, or chilly, but this album is properly rip-your-organs-out-intense-frightening, like both you and the musicians are much worse off for listening to and being involved in it. FUN!
Hapshash and the Coloured Coat
first album
Jag indeed
No-one else was gonna do it...
Also
Sunnyvale Noise Sub-element are frigging great.
hah!
love it, nice one
fuck me,
people take the internet seriously.
high five!
!11!1
or something
and that's the opinion of
SOME RANDOM PERSON ON THE INTERNET, so I hope you're taking notes, Radiohead.
Much of the ass-kissing you mention
was in interviews with the bands you list (Ride etc) who often mentioned what a large influence MBV had had on their work.
Also I'd say there IS more artistry in MBV than a lot of other records - the sheer bloody-mindedness and relentlessness of Kevin Shields when creating Loveless to live up to a vision in his mind must at least hint at something beyond knocking together an album that's just 'okay'.
Two words
Dragon's Den
jeez
that post pretty much describes why you should take a break from what you're doing right now.
What I mean is
that American Apparel already pay to advertise on many sites like this one, and would probably do so here too. That's one way that online advertising works and how sites like this support themselves
American Apparel
are the highest-spending advertiser in the 'social media' online world. They probably aren't advertising here yet because it's not on their radar. Yet.
I'm not from London
but I have been to Blow Up
The fee is to cover
things like technology/hosting/office space overheads etc etc perhaps. Unless the face value price of the ticket includes a commission for the reseller? Don't think it does though.
"Promoting your music in the web 2.0 era"
Jesus wept, that tagline makes me want to end it all.
Appliance
Telford...
Yeah fair enough, apologies
That was needleesly aggressive
Who gives a fuck?
It's not like there aren't other brilliant sources of music information and coverage out there that'll cover the things you're interested in.
What's wrong with a publication doing things that you think are rubbish? Vote with your feet man, don't buy it, ignore it, and spend your time finding other sources rather than crying into your keyboard about it.
I hate it but I read it every week but
it upsets my indie sensibilities when they don't cover exactly the bands I'm into at the time of reading, but it upsets them even more when they do cover exactly the bands I'm into at the time of reading but not with exactly the same wording and opinion that I have at the time
I say yes
but only one way to find out...
Yeah go for it
and make sure you get so thoroughly caned that you're unable to operate a computer keyboard
Slightly off topic maybe
But I'd think about doing away with the idea of 'news' on the site. At the moment at least, you're just reposting stuff from elsewhere on the internet that many readers will already know about, or 'upgrading' messageboard items to news but not expanding on them at all, or, at worst, posting 'joke' news items in some kind of self-reflexive wankathon.
That's why I said 'to my mind'
because that is my own opinion. It differs from yours and for that reason, I'm out
Do you include columns
for the amount you GOT an obscure band at a gig so much more than the other proles standing around you chattering (on a one to five rating system), along with a running total of the number of blog/twitter/facebook messages you post about the gig as time goes by?
eeeee I remember the days when we really on tha' memories.
Primal Scream are fucking great
They've put in enough years' dedication to rock and roll, and released enough mind-bogglingly good records, and played enough amazing gigs, to be able to get away with pretty much anything these days, to my mind.
You're soooooo right
(see what I did there?)
Nail/head interface
It'd be preferable to me if she was merely a fuckwitted identikit T4 type. At least they don't attempt to suggest preferences and theories of their own which are invariably wrong and invariably informed by whatever press release their assistant just read as de facto truth.
"Unrepresentative" tracks
why, were they good then? BOOM BOOM
