METALMAN

I am going to see the Cribs in September. That is about it. Got no money in my pocket you see.

Andy and the Stephens too? (Y)

I've given them plenty of chances to grow on me but it just hasn't happened. Although Fountain of Youth is awesome. But I've always thought that.

Eh New Amsterdams I suppose. I used to think they were pretty shit until I found out they had Matt Pryor, after which I gave them another chance. Still, I could hardly be called a huge fan of them. They are a 5/10 band for me.

Why the fuck am I playing in the Champions League final on a SATURDAY? Oh and I hate Tony Mowbray. After beating him in the FA Cup final I say he's a good manager and shouldn't be sacked. Then in reply to that he says I am incompetent.

I like tennis enough to check the results on the bbc website and to always want Federer to win.

I don't care what anyone says. Enter Shikari's first album was good. But the new song is shit, yes.

That's actually my favorite Green Day album. lol good for you lol So finally got round to listening to this. It's hardly a car crash but it is most definitely too long. Musically solid but I really can't stand Armstrong's voice in a ballad context. Decent voice for poppy-punk songs, yes, but that's because having a good voice isn't of much importance in the field. So yeah, Green Day ditch something they are good at for a bit and try something they're shit at. Fair play to them for trying something new. I don't hate them for it. I just hate the something new because it's shit. Nevertheless, they are pretty decent when they stick to what they're good at. Ironically my favourite song on the album is a ballady one, being "21 Guns". I think I like it because it sounds a bit like a John Lennon reject, and as we all know, a John Lennon reject sounds like a reject from a Paul McCartney reject compilation album. But that's still good. Only problem with it - barring the lyrics which I'll discuss later - is that it suffers from being too long. If this was three minutes long it would most likely earn a place as the fourth Green Day song on my iPod (other three are When I Come Around, Who Wrote Holden Caulfield and One For The Razorbacks). However the lyrics bring them down again. Which is a shame. Lyrically Green Day never struck me as being dreadful until "Minority". In truth, lyrics just tend to pass me by unless they are really really dreadfully bad(Sting, Jimi Hendrix, Nirvana) or really really exceptionally good(Idlewild, Death Cab For Cutie, Belle & Sebastian, Idlewild, Idlewild, Roddy Woomble when he's not doing Idlewild stuff). I'll let you guess what camp Green Day's last two albums fall into. Sometimes I get embarassed on Billie Joe's behalf.

and to answer my own question... It's not very Bright Eyes. But I was expecting that. It sounds more like Ryan Adams B-sides. But I like that. Still not very Bright Eyes. He has changed. I think I still might cry.

If the new Conor Oberst album is bad I might just cry. There is no reason to be worried if the two songs I've heard already are anything to go by though.

Yeah. They gave us all swine flu.

Yeah that was better. Cause you could wank over the good looking ones without being sick in your mouth a bit. >_> I'm not actually watching this now though. Gonna wait until the repeat tomorrow so all the nasty words are bleeped out. haha EDIT: Actually it's cause I can't be bothered right now.

What's a ligger?

That's nothing. I caught a sparrow with my bare hands once.

Is this actually worth watching? I am a bit bored you see.

Oh dear lord it's a v-neck. Might as well go all the way and turn it into a cardigan.

That above post about bass - bass player is always best looking. i.e. Subways woman. She's going to marry me.

You can turn the electronic one off if he gets annoying.

This is our new one. I quite like it. Prefer it with white shorts though:

That will be fine. I'll just call George. If was prepared to call up Nacho Novo he'll definitely take you.

Hopefully he will continue the great Italian tradition begun by Gianluca Vialli and so brilliantly maintained by Claudio Ranieri.

I'll be 31 and I will have to start accepting the fact that it's unlikely that I will ever play for England. You don't happen to have any Scottish grandparents by any chance? We took Don Hutchison on that basis.

Hull bought Ben Sahar off me for £5 million and are paying him £62,000 a week. lol. Idiots. I am playing "world's best player" Mario Balotelli £41,000 a week.

From a Leeds fan. ..from a Newcastle fan? from a Sunderland fan?

I honestly don't understand what the problem with Strachan is. I think he'd be a fantastic manager for Sunderland. When he took over at Southampton they were in a very similar position to Sunderland now - perhaps even worse - and he made them top half contenders, got them to the cup final and as a result into Europe. I think if Sunderland fans think they are too good for Strachan they are deluding themselves. If anything, Strachan is too good for Sunderland.
