AxdHzv04hn4 this is great what do you think? don't know if there is an actual genre called 'the big music' - might have misread the chapter title in the post-punk book - but if there is...and if Coldplay are the new 00s [pre-MacPhisto-Zoo-TV] U2..would White Lies be equal to echo and the bunnymen if coldplay are a stadium sized U2? tho White Lies have also been compared in the press to sound-a-likes like unlucky ZTT-Stiff types Furniture and Roland "Waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhhhoooooooooooooooooooooooooooool" Orzabal de la Quintana of 'Starter For Ten'-soundtrack-period Tears For Fears - well before they became massive and turned into Panic at the disco... 1JeEXP717T0 1H0kaasdkiU -yhJDS-BnAQ on the other hand you could just try and see how much of 'this is how it feels to be lonely' by the inspiral carpets fits over the top of 'Unfinished Business' - i think it would work (tho I'm hoping this thread gets a few replies as this final comment might end up looking like a critique about the popularity of this White Lies band's thread :lol: :lol: ) http://www.darthmahler.com/images/post_images/inspiral_carpets.jpg twDZ1J0CT88 Husband don't know what he's done Kids don't know what's wrong with mum She can't say, they can't see, putting it down to another bad day Daddy don't know what he's done Kids don't know what's wrong with mum SO THIS IS HOW IT FEELS TO BE LONELY THIS IS HOW IT FEELS TO BE SMALL THIS IS HOW IT FEELS WHEN YOUR WORD MEANS NOTHING AT ALL Black car drives through the town, some guy from the top estate Left a note for a local girl, and yet he had it all on a plate SO THIS IS HOW IT FEELS TO BE LONELY THIS IS HOW IT FEELS TO BE SMALL THIS IS HOW IT FEELS WHEN YOUR WORD MEANS NOTHING AT ALL Husband don't know what he's done Kids don't know what's wrong with mum She can't say, they can't see, putting it down to another bad day SO THIS IS HOW IT FEELS TO BE LONELY THIS IS HOW IT FEELS TO BE SMALL THIS IS HOW IT FEELS WHEN YOUR WORD MEANS NOTHING AT ALL

sounds interesting - in paste yet?

Quote from teletext... "I agree with Earls' 6/10 rating for Fleet Foxes. They're brilliant live, an easy 9/10. For some reason, though, the album is lacklustre and doesn't do them justice. By contrast, their touring partners Beach House didn't come over so well on stage, but their album is much better than Foxes". DJ Gordy think maybe this might be nearer the point as some things i've heard from them has been boring and other things wonderful - but obv both were detected from the album sequence and randomly put on the radio and on free cds so can't give a true description of the album as i wont get it till its in the sale...

but havent they just had two albums tho :lol: ?? pity we cant think of someone who has not released an album for ages and are on their fifth...(wonder if the stereo mcs have got upto that number yet :lol: ??) gk1oIbpADqk I cant say anything really - got a couple of the early Verve album in the sale a few months back - but not got round to listening to them...on my big pile - cannot say - tho think history is a grreat record h-X_rMJzlro on the other hand sonnet and lucky man are awful examples of dad-rock - not just Manics boring even worse than that - even more of an anti-climax than the stereo mc's record at the top!!! and almost as bad as that recent paul weller record where he does that 70s soul influenced dadrock thing again - which is one of the worst things i've heard recently....(and i have been mostly listening to 101 party classics with black lace - superman and kenny's the bump!!!!! :lol: )

Red Light Company - With Lights Out fR8GQXHkbqI loving this record at the moment - think its brilliant in a Placebo doing an Arcade Fire impersonation type way!!! fyi from their site's bio Red Light Company were formed in 2007. Richard Frenneaux (vocals/guitar) was born in England and spent his formative years in Australia and New Zealand. Shawn Day (bass) is from Wyoming, the least populated state in America, but was born in Osaka, Japan. James Griffiths (drums) is from Bridgend in Wales, Paul Mellon (guitar) is from Motherwell in Scotland and Chris Edmonds (keyboards) is from Maidenhead. Richard and Shawn met on the Internet after Shawn saw an advert posted by Rich. It was Tuesday afternoon, the band had a gig in London on the Friday, Shawn heard future single Scheme Eugene and emailed Richard “I want to play my bass in London. I don't f*ck around.” Richard replied immediately and Shawn made immediate preparations to fly to London. Upon arrival, Shawn was unable to provide proof of sufficient funds for his intended length of stay in the UK and was detained for six hours at Gatwick. The immigration officer finally agreed for the band to meet with Shawn, specifying he catch the first flight back to America the following morning. Shawn adds “We all jumped into the van and had an unplugged audition and then onto the pub where Richard and I both agreed there would be no guitar solos. The next day I flew back to America. A long month passed in Wyoming, I sold everything I owned before my visa was finally approved and I returned to the U.K for round two.” Vocalist and guitarist Richard says of debut single With Lights Out “I had a childhood friend who committed suicide, he folded his clothes up neatly by the side of a lake, overdosed on sleeping pills, then just walked in. The song is based around a letter you would write, if you could still communicate with them, covering the denial as well as acceptance of their departure and loss. The little toy soldier line is a reminder of youth, and the fact that we were still so young.”

from teletext... Doves are to return in September to preview their fourth album, the follow-up to 2005's Some Cities. The trio have been recording with producer Dan Austin, and said the album will be finished by the end of the summer. A statement on doves.net said: "We're not just in the pub or hoovering the garage." Working song titles include Jetstream, Kingdom Of Rust and House Of Mirrors. and about time too!!!! :lol:

this is a bit of a $h!t for fans of Bill and Ted...and an complete arse for fans of edgey comedy...esp since it was reported he was being lined up for a big comedy honor.. http://www.currentfilm.com/images5/billandteddvdcover.jpg US comedian George Carlin dies Grammy-award winning comedian George Carlin, best known for his Seven Words You Can Never Say On TV routine, has died of heart failure aged 71. The star was admitted to a hospital in Los Angeles on Sunday with chest pains and died later that day. Jack Burns, Carlin's comedy partner in the early 1960s, told the Associated Press agency: "He was a genius and I will miss him dearly." The star, who had a history of heart problems, was scheduled to receive the John F Kennedy Center's prestigious Mark Twain Prize for American Humour in November. Carlin became known for his unpredictable performances and for pushing boundaries during his 50-year career. He achieved status as an anti-Establishment icon in the 1970s with his provocative and controversial acts. His Seven Words routine led to his arrest in 1972 for disturbing the peace after he performed the act at a show in Milwaukee. The same routine, which was played on a New York radio station, resulted in a Supreme Court ruling in 1978 upholding the government's authority to sanction stations for broadcasting offensive language. Carlin produced 23 comedy albums, 14 HBO specials, three books, a couple of TV shows and appeared in several movies. He also hosted the first broadcast of Saturday Night Live, won four Grammy Awards - each for best spoken comedy album - and was nominated for five Emmys. Drug addiction plagued him for much of his life, beginning with marijuana experimentation as a teenager. During the 1970s he began using cocaine and prescription painkillers. He racked up debt during that time and ended up owing about $3m in back taxes. In 2004, he entered a Los Angeles rehab clinic for his alcohol and Vicodin abuse. Carlin is survived by his second wife Sally Wade; daughter Kelly Carlin McCall; and brother Patrick. His first wife, Brenda, died of cancer in 1997. Honour for comedian George Carlin Grammy award-winning comedian, writer and actor George Carlin will be awarded with the Kennedy Center's Mark Twain prize for American humour. The 71-year-old, who had many TV and film roles, is best known for his Seven Words You Can Never Say On TV routine. A tribute performance to honour his career will be held in November. Last year Billy Crystal was honoured with the prize. Other past recipients included include Whoopi Goldberg, Neil Simon and Steve Martin

Embarrassing on the Nokia Green Room with Basshunter - think CD:UK should be brought back now - as that Nokia Green Room behind the stage set up is terrible...

BECK Chemtrails 8/10 New singles review by John Earls - teletext Finally, Danger Mouse gets back to producing a decent single, while Beck manages to merge his trademerak funk with the raw emotion of his Sea Change album. Febrile psych completes the joy. yeah its good - it might start out like its gonna be something that Midge Ure recorded in the mid-70s with Slik but once you get into it its like some cool groovy soundtrack to some bizarre random Acid fulled Psychedeliaplotation film you might get in an 1972 San Fran grindhouse... good

even tho this article below is about ABBA - these comments above have relevence and show its true what it says below - when reading some of the bolded areas As the film Mamma Mia! opens, it's cool to admit you like ABBA By Nigel Farndale Last Updated: 1:29AM BST 22/06/2008 Even 'real men' can't resist strutting their stuff to 'Dancing Queen'. As the film 'Mamma Mia!' opens, Nigel Farndale explains how to admit you like ABBA – and still be cool There comes a moment at just about every dinner party I attend when the wine glasses are refilled, the conversation turns from current affairs to pop music and my wife disgraces herself. Her favourite band, she will announce without a shred of embarrassment, is ABBA. Always has been and always will be. Other female guests will chorus their agreement, regardless of their age, social background or the number of doctorates they hold. Some may even start singing ABBA songs. As they lean forward to engage in a cheerful discussion about whether SOS has more artistic merit than Knowing Me, Knowing You, the men will lean back and mumble earnestly among themselves about Radiohead or the Foo Fighters – cool bands, cerebral bands, bands with growling chord progressions. There may be a biological explanation for this, albeit a rather patronising one. According to Lesley Douglas, the co-ordinator of the BBC's popular music coverage, men and women listen to music differently. Women are more likely to engage with music emotionally, whereas men are more analytical in their approach, obsessing over the fifth note in the third verse, or the catalogue number's rarity. I don't think she's right. Men and women experience music in the same emotional way, it's just that they talk about it differently. And men are more inclined towards music snobbery because they are more image conscious, more insecure, more concerned about what other men might think. If a woman likes a song, however frothy and synthetic, she will say so. If a man likes a song he thinks he shouldn't, he will listen to it guiltily, on his iPod, in the cupboard below the stairs. Steve Jones, the Sex Pistols guitarist, once confessed to me that on the tour bus he would listen to REO Speedwagon on his Walkman, terrified that if Johnny Rotten or Sid Vicious caught him he would be beaten up. One of the reasons I suspect men pretend they don't like ABBA is that the phenomenal success of the band seems to defy intellectual analysis. You could argue, for example, that Dancing Queen is the greatest pop song of all time because everyone in the Western world wants to get up and dance when they hear it. But where is the intellectual satisfaction in saying that? It is not enough to sustain the male population conversationally for what is in store: a whole summer of ABBA-mania. Mamma Mia! the movie is released next week. Set on a Greek island, it is a romantic comedy about a woman who decides to track down the father she never knew because she wants him to give her away at her wedding. There are three possible fathers, Pierce Brosnan plays – and sings – one of them, Colin Firth another, while Swedish heart-throb Stellan Skarsgård plays the third. The soundtrack is one ABBA song after another. We know it will be big because the musical was big. Is big. It makes £4 million a week. And, since it opened, nine years ago, about 30 million people have been to see it. There will be no escaping the subject of ABBA this summer, then, so here are a few conversational primers that men may wish to use. A good starting point is the credit crunch. We are all going to need some serious cheering up this summer and you could usefully argue that the inevitable success of this escapist, feel-good movie will be a reflection of this. Irony seems another rich seam for discussion. Because they first found fame in 1974 by winning the Eurovision song contest, ABBA were considered irredeemably naff. Then the four band members started divorcing each other and writing songs about it – you could cite The Name of the Game here, and use the adjective "haunting" – and suddenly they looked cool and interesting. Then punk came along and they were naff again. Then in 1982 they split up, became all moody and reclusive – wouldn't even be seen in the same country as one another, let alone the same studio – and began to look interesting again. Then their ironic appeal began in earnest. Highly camp tribute bands such as Björn Again were formed. Steve Coogan recognised their cool-to-be-uncool appeal and the film Muriel's Wedding, with its ironic ABBA theme, became a blockbuster. There are plenty of ABBA facts for men to sink their teeth into. Don't bore on about how the name "Abba" is an acronym of the first letters of each of the member's names (Agnetha, Björn, Benny, Anni-Frid). Everyone knows that. A better statistic is that 26 years after they split up they are still one of the world's best-selling bands, selling three million records a year. And you might also slip in that in 2000 Abba were reported to have turned down an offer of $1 billion to do a reunion tour. You could also attempt an analysis of ABBA's lyrics. Waterloo was clearly an attempt to re-contextualise 19th-century European geopolitics. Napoleon had so subverted the principles of the French Revolution that for most Frenchmen his defeat was the only way civilisation could be saved. "I feel like I win when I lose." And there is even some scope for musical analysis. You could talk about the appeal of the music residing not only in the catchy melody and lyric hooks, but also the "wall of sound" achieved by overdubbing the female singers' voices in multiple harmonies. When bluffing about the music, remember that Benny wrote the tunes while Björn wrote the lyrics. It takes a big man to admit he likes ABBA. And any man who still lacks the courage to come out might consider something that the hairy-chested Pierce Brosnan told me, when I interviewed him the other day. He was not an ABBA fan, he had never seen the musical, but when he went to the London production in preparation for this role, he found himself dancing in the aisle, as everyone who sees the musical does. And there is another intellectual gambit you might try. You could compare the opening of Dancing Queen, that tingling moment when Benny runs his fingers down the keyboard, to the bell with which Pavlov summoned his dogs. Whenever we hear it, we want to head to the nearest dance floor, however ungainly a dancer we might be. ok you dont like Hi-NRG full stop as a genre - but do/did you like the acid jazz thing as a genre and i suppose jamiroquai will always get a better cultural ranking - perhaps seen to be more upscale - more assocaited with a 'glass of Champagne' and a couple of ferrarris rather being aligned up with the image of a group of hairy leatherboys in chaps - kinda bit more safe - a bit more Mick Hucknell at a Smooth Radio refit of Studio 54 than Tom of Finland's all-night disco sauna....

i saw they [the original Bucks Fizz from the Hits cheesy countdowns] are supporting Bjorn Again at the Hammersmith Apollo for i think Bjorn Again's 20 Anniversity tour - Tony Blackburn also appearing - quite random and bizarre seeing how both could be seen as ABBA tribute bands - but as bands go is one more real than the other

well Peter Robinson in the Guardian had a good go :lol: Saturday June 21, 2008 - Peter Robinson Pick of the week: Camille, Money Note (Charisma) In the rapidly expanding new genre of extremely fashionable international warbling pop ladies who look as if they'd punch your lights out as soon as sing you a lovely song Camille's had her chances - she was signed years ago and has been on people's lips longer than chapstick - but this release of Money Note is an incredible and deranged blast of summer. This tale of Camille's plans to sing like Mariah Carey comes across like a mix of Grace Jones and Feist; it's funny, addictive and just unquestionably, relentlessly and dizzyingly incredible, vaulting itself so far ahead of the rest of this week's single releases that it's halfway into Wednesday's TV listings. btw got the previous album le fil?

from teletext: http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/2/2f/Talestold.jpg "The Lightning Seeds have reformed for their first album since 1999's Tilt. The band will release a new self-produced album with Universal after signing a publishing deal with Stage Three Music. There's no release date, but it's likely to be early next year. After the split, Ian Broudie released solo album Tales Told in 2004, before reforming the band for a Best Of and tour in 2006" well even with the solo album being on deltasonic and him [being an indie producer du jour..with with other like Edwyn Collins) it sank without trace... think this newbie will probs be as welcome as the last Babybird album - tho think it be good to have this type of indie-britpop ...and the Lightning Seeds are brilliant at doing this...back in the review sections (well i guess at least in the word magazine) so do you think it will be an actual reformation of a well known lone-up or just Ian Broudie with lots of random people standing behind him??

and with Violet Hill you've got Coldplay doing an approximation of Oasis doing an something that they think should be off Sgt Pepper - esp in the video

Anthony Quinn gave it one as well in the Independent
