I'll stop milking it when I get something else I can milk instead.

Totally in.

Marina and the Diamonds leaked. Quite a good album. I prefer her new songs to the ones that have been around ages, for the most part, and I preferred the original version of "Girls" to the album version (mostly just lyric changes, if you've seen her live in the past 9 months or so, it's that version on the album). One or two songs just seem "there", but there's nothing remotely bad.

The lack of Seventeen is shit though.

Go on.

Only if I get a jester role again.

STRUNG OUT return to the UK in April from the 4th till 10th.

guests tba

APRIL

4th HIGH WYCOMBE NAGS HEAD

5th MANCHESTER MOHO LIVE

6th NEWPORT TJ's

7th PLYMOUTH WHITE RABBIT

8th DERBY OLD BELL

9th LONDON RELENTLESS GARAGE w This Is A Standoff

10th PETERBOROUGH CLUB REVOLUTION

Manchester and/or London. The idea of guests tba hints at a 'big' band playing with them as opposed to 'local' supports they used last time. This Is A Standoff have their own dates on the 4th/6th/8th (for definite) so they wont be on the whole tour. I've got my fingers crossed for Pour Habit, the idea of Strung Out/This Is A Standoff/Pour Habit on one show is fucking unreal...they're on Groezrock at the end of the month, so I could see them doing this with Strung Out and then a week or two of mainland Europe dates before Groezrock. Plus the fact Jordan/Pour Habit guys are good buddies, I think it's a good shout.

No Newcastle or Leeds? Manchester it is, I can get a lateish train back to Leeds and just stop there for the night, though it's right in the middle of Easter break.

Fuck that shit, AWS are supporting Pennywise in May!

Best support since Chuck Ragan was announced for Frank Turner.

Fuck it, buying my Pennywise ticket tomorrow.

edit: Strike Anywhere are the other support. Cracking lineup.

Saw Delphic and Two Door Cinema Club recently, free gig, both were really good. Owl City are excellent, definitely gonna catch their tour with Lights next year.

Marina, well...

I think that speaks for itself.

alIN shearer

...that doesn't work. :/

Dibs on role that isn't vanilla scum.

Ignite's "Our Darkest Days" is one of my favourite albums of the past five years. I lost it the last time my laptop fucked up, and only just re-acquired it. Best thing I've done all week.

Also listened to "Miracle Kicker" by Dark Captain Light Captain before for the first time in a while. Fantastic album.

Other than those two, I've listened to a lot of Four Year Strong and Strung Out today (basically all week, really). Been a good day.

hahaha what the fuck, Milburn? Is this 2007?

Tom Waits is one of those people who I feel like I should listen to, but never have. Maybe at the weekend or something.

Strung Out

Frank Turner

As for the others, I strongly dislike Iron Maiden, find the Smiths and Death Cab horribly overrated, Prodigy are quality, and I either quite like or don't have an informed opinion on/don't particularly care about the rest.

Oh, yeah, and Oasis. Morning Glory and Definitely Maybe are good, shit otherwise.

Ugh, I'm well behind, so I'm just gonna comment on the ones I actually want to comment on.

I like Blink-182, always will. They're a band I grew up listening to, and the songs never seem to get old.

Birds from Waterloo Road.

I will listen to the Weakerthans one day.

AJJ is pretty good.

Pendulum are good, but I tend to get sick of them after a while. Better in small doses.

Coheed are good.

Ryan Adams has ruined any chance of me ever listening to him. What a cunt.

Jenny Lewis

I hate the Libertines. I've never really "got" them, plus I think Pete Doherty's a twat.

Arctic Monkeys are good, as long as they stick to doing shit like "...Dancefloor". New album is dire.

haha, that pic of Lewis Hamilton with KISS is genius.

I love Nirvana.

If I was voting now, I probably would have had Steetlight Manifesto in there somewhere. But I started listening to them too late.

Los Camp are fan-dabi-dozi, they're always touring yet I never go and see them for some reason.

Wow, Belle and Sebastian are ugly, ugly people.

THE SUDDEN SIGHT OF MIRRORS BROUGHT THE HERO'S DEMISE! HEY OPERATOR OPERATOR STOP ACTING CIVILIZED! AWS are brilliant. I have a horrible feeling I forgot to vote for them.

Reuben are fun.

WHAT THE FUCK? KID FUCKING CUDI? Day 'n' Nite's good, but that's pretty much his only song. His mixtape's shit.

THE BOSS! I fucking love Springsteen. He was absolutely amazing at Glasto, I want to see him again.

Last year's thread introduced me to Little Boots and Marina. If this year's doesn't live up to that, I will be highly disappointed.

Coldplay have, erm, one decent album.

haha, no way do Electric Six have 7 albums.

JEW are great, though I haven't listened to them for ages.

Crystal Method, no idea.

REM and Hendrix, I've heard the "big" songs but never really bothered with them, probably deserve to be in a top 100 list though.

Needs more fit birds. In addition to novelty ties, not instead of. Combine the two if possible.

In.

Awesome, it's on a Saturday, so I'll just come home that weekend. Would rather a Leeds date though.

fuck.

I can hear 3 in my head, but I have no idea who it is.

8: Leatherface - Trenchfoot

9 is clearly Bob Dylan from the metalman clue ( ), though no idea what song.

edit: Note to self: don't combine washing the dishes with posting on the internet.

If you wanted to do Propagandhi/PTH/SA at Leeds, you could crash at mine for the night, nobody from home lives round here, so I can pull off the "mate from home" thing with anyone who has a remotely Geordie accent.

Also, the Los Camp discussion has reminded me I need to get a Cockpit wristband from somewhere so I can see them for free on Friday as part of the 15th anniversary thing they're doing.
