Playlouder - Music is the Network

A forum into which I would dare not tread. Great review too. Coincidentally, I pretty much agree fully with your take on Supergrass. A shame that our avid-Supergrass-loving user Belgarvm can't join in this debate due to the fact he's too cheap to a) get a better browser than IE6 or b) get a phone line for a broadband connection.

On a related note I'd like to confess to a passing appreciation of the new James album which has now been overshadowed by an actual love of the new(?) single 'White Boy'.

They still got it, no?

I was equally disturbed to discover that The Bluetones (whom I use to follow around the UK to a near-rabid extent) are releasing yet another "best of" compilation. Oh dear...

Laugh at them. Laugh at The Bluetones.

I remember a review of the first Bluetones album described the lyrics as "The sound of John Major chatting up his research assistant". You can't argue with that kind of reviewing....

What is "Britpop" anyway? I always referred to it as zit-squeezing before being watch by "the London eye" Heh...the London eye...how 1984.

Make that "watched" Speaking of squeezing - how is one to write in such a small box? Did you know htat "Playlouder" spelled backwards in the mirror while onheroin reads "sell out"?

Oh, I give up.

don't give up you still have friends

what was that lyric?

Thank you so much Ms. Bush.

i was thinking that bill and hill ought to swap sexes

that's my contrib to the political debate

Gaberial - now there's a sell out.

i think there's a limit to how much of your life you'd want to spend jumping around a stage dressed as a teapot

if that's what you mean by pre-sellout

No, he's more of the wet-liberal type of sell out

You know, all for planet greenery while raping it for his own mansion

at kind of shit. I detest all rock stars.

...and wannabe musicians

"how is one to write in such a small box?" ahh the demand for the multi-line input again. i am not alone ! the (now deleted function) will not be forgotten

Just another example of how THE MAN follows me wherever I go.

it will return, mark (and kristy). at some point

I just love the use of the phrase 'sausage-heavy' in the review! What do you think would be the female equivalent?

yeah that made me chuckle. i'll be using that at some point in the new few weeks when drunk i'm sure.

I had a firend at uni who was driving us home from a Mogwai concert and I got him to say "oh mate I'd love to go to a sausage festival" then I laughed at him - it was brilliant. He actually was never my friend again after that incident.

oh, and it's oyster festival, surely

xcept that doesn't sound rude

or unpleasant

went to a great oyster festival near said uni, actually. This is all in my forthcoming autobio.

jamie I was thinking maybe a "taco fest"?

I guess.

NAturally I've never been to one of those

o it's more likely to be accurate
