really, I saw them twice this year and it didn't affect me. That said maybe hometown shows have a bit of a different vibe.

the fact you don't deem this album good makes me lose faith in you chris.

the 2nd episode was well brilliant, really did sum up society a great deal. If anything it was just a really really blunt version of todays society. Brooker really sent out a message with that one. I'm looking forward to tonights, it's written by Jesse Armstrong apparently, he is one of the main writers for Peep Show and The Thick of It, two of my favourite shows. Will be interesting to see his writing for a drama rather than a comedy.

you have a shit taste in music.

I guess as a TV channel it's not so terrible as the whole institution. I don't see how losing a not that popular TV station is significant to the decline of alt music which isn't declining at all. Let's face it theres no point watching NME Tv when you could be listening to BBC 6music for alot better and varied alt music.

I don't know what to think apart from the fact I need to rewatch the first. can barely remember the 2nd. probably not a good idea making a 3rd tbh.

been meaning to listen to this, have heard the last album. Saw them supporting Weezer this year and they were pretty great.

pretty f***ed up. but good. daring to put something like that on tv so kudos Charlie Brooker and Channel 4. Now the real question is, how do we get Dave f***ing a pig on tv?

^this. in fact just to reiterate this is what Trent had to say about Johnny's version: "I pop the video in, and wow... Tears welling, silence, goose-bumps... Wow. [i felt like] I just lost my girlfriend, because that song isn't mine anymore... It really made me think about how powerful music is as a medium and art form. I wrote some words and music in my bedroom as a way of staying sane, about a bleak and desperate place I was in, totally isolated and alone. [somehow] that winds up reinterpreted by a music legend from a radically different era/genre and still retains sincerity and meaning — different, but every bit as pure."

I'm sorry but she lacks an incredible amount of emotion. She clearly hasn't a f***ing clue what this song is about at all. It's actually an abomination to music that she has gone on the x factor and performed this. I'm not saying she is a bad singer, but she really, really shouldn't have covered this. Maybe if she had been through even half of what Trent Reznor or Johnny Cash has she could put in a decent amount of emotion to make this a good performance rather than the incredibly bland performance she has put on. To be fair, it's alot better than the studio version though. But this is how you perform Hurt, he even has tears in his eyes during this performance: PP2Dgftin6M

my thoughts from the last mini series stay the same. way to keep ruining the integrity of an otherwise classic film.

I saw a download for it thr other day, been wanting to watch it.

Just because she is a singer and she likes to sing songs is not a valid enough reason to cover a song, especially not a song like Hurt. There has to be point because otherwise she will do it terribly and bland, which according to next post I have quoted that is true. I thought you had heard Hurt before? the reason why it is such a special song is because of how personal it is, and the great amount of emotion put in by Cash/Reznor. Lewis has been through f*** all in her life, she is a diva, Hurt has completely no relevance to her. People shouldn't just record songs because they like sing songs, there should be actual point, clealry you like trash such as Leona Lewis but I happen to think music is an art form, and should be treated as such, for points i've reiterated a thousand times already, Lewis can't perform this song with a decent amount of emotion to compare to the original and Cash's version, therefore her cover is pointless. People shouldn't record and release just any old crap, they should put in alot of effort and make a piece of art, not just sing songs cos they like it. I like playing guitar, doesn't mean I should start recording bad versions of Johnny B Goode. will have to agree to disagree on the ruining a song point, I understand what you're getting at but I disagree, surely a bad cover version of a classic song is a ruined version, obviously one can still enjoy the original but acts can still ruin a song by doing it badly enough. Thank you for confirming that my thoughts are true. could someone link me to where I can hear her cover? or will I want to be killing myself due to how bad it is, not due to the emotion put into the song. I remember the first time I saw NIN I literally had tears in my eyes when they closed with Hurt (and so did Trent), it was emotional and beautiful. I think it's going to hurt (no pun intended) me hearing such a bland emotionless version of it.

Don't damn that, I know it's frustrating when you're under 18 but it means it's likely to be a much better film. Fincher has been very particular about not bowing to any studio pressure to make it less than a R rating (or 18 in the UK). the soundtrack is out today, I have the FLAC, not listened yet, I'm pretty tired right now so think I will save it for tomorrow to appreciate it more. if I can find a spare 3 hours that is.

Well Trent released it upon the request of a highly respected producer to be performed by JOHNNY (f***ING) CASH, I think that is a bit of a massive difference in the song being covered by someone that hasn't an inch if the talent Rubin and Cash have, a musician who has been through an incredible amount aswell as being one of the greatest songwriters of all time, bit different having someone that legendary cover you than someone who's career only exists because of a TV show. If you seriously think Leona Lewis is in the same leauge as Johnny Cash then you clearly have some sort of mental disorder (I'm assuming you don't though, you seem an intelligent enough person). I think the point is not having been close to dying from drugs to cover the song, theres nothing wrong with reinterpretations, but Reznor and Cash have bith been through an incredible amount of shit, just listen to the pure raw emotion in both of their versions, the NIN version literally puts chills down my spine, the Cash version puts tears in my eyes, what has Leona Lewis exactly been through to make Hurt so personal and emotional that she can even come close to matching the other versions? Because if she can't out true emotion into Hurt and make it her own there is no real point in her covering it. No I didn't write it. Obviously different people have different opinions. I love covers personally, for some of the same reasons you do, especially hearing songs in different styles (people who cover songs exactly the same as the original get on my tits so much, don't they have any of their own artistic talent?), but with Hurt it's different, it's not just any other song. It's special, it's personal, it's emotional, it's beautiful, it's one of the greatest songs ever ruined, if it's not done right, it is easily ruined, a cover of a song like Hurt will not be doing it justice except in exceptional circumstances (such as Johnny Cash covering it). Some songs are best kept untouched.

I'm just gonna stick this here: http://scorpiusdiamond.wordpress.com/2011/12/05/78/

I'll be honest I was tired and purposefully being an arse then, I like tripping people up when they think it's originally by Johnny Cash. Which your post doesn't really suggest. Johnny's version is beautiful though, literally brings tears to my eyes. Hurt is my favourite song ever written. shame Leona Lewis is going to ruin it.

damn right. :blink:

he's already pretty massive I don't understand why he is on the BBC Sound Poll when he has just had a successful year. Oh and he is f***ing crap.

No one's really blown me away vocal wise this year so I skipped those ones.

what's best male/female vocal? is that any band with specific vocals or any specific vocalist?
