YI And His Special Music Corner

[John Stones' Paint Trophy]

New Blitzen Trapper is amazing. Ollie can back that up. It sounds like Queen doing country at times. Go listen to it.

[The Chief]

decided to give fields a listen. song for the fields is awesome

new fall out boy is epic meh

http://www.mixwit.com is awesome

that is all

[El Presidente]

does anybody else watch palladia? That channel's awesome, it's on 816 on digital cable for me and used to be called MHD (Music in HD). I've seen dave matthews band, eric clapton, tom petty, black crowes, wyclef jean, zz top, heart, radiohead, the who and tons more on there. They've got days dedicated to country and rap too, so there's a pretty good variety. Idk if anyone else watches it, but it's definitely my new favorite channel.

[Cactus Drags]

New Fall Out Boy is horrible. Where the fuck did they go wrong? Evening Out and Grave were awesome (particularly the latter), Cork Tree doesn't have a bad song on it really, but it seems they've let the fame and recognition go to their heads, because the majority of Infinity sucked balls, and this is totally going in the wrong direction.

[RPS]

Planisphère by Justice is probably the best release of the year. SO FUCKING EPIC.

[METALMAN]

I'm listening to the new Metronomy album right now. It's really good so far.

[The Chief]

any spinto band fans in here?

Saw the Gaslight Anthem video on Q this afternoon, during my channel hopping. My brother said it was a good tune.

Also, the new Pussycat Dolls tune. The video would well be worth a wank to, but the fact it's impossible as you have some form of epileptic fit. Yeah, shit tune too.

Erm...what else. Miley Cyrus...I quite like.

Also, who the fuck are The Saturday's or whatever...who are just literally a carbon coppy of Girls Aloud, only their song is the absolutely DRIZZLING SHITS!

[YI]

I presume most of you TGA fans, or at least a good few know about "This Charming Man" which was Brian Fallon's (and others I believe) before The Gaslight Anthem, which was basically the early seeds of the Gaslight sound with a bit of a Brand New/Alkaline Trio thrown in.

But there's something else that's just kind of 'appeared' today (or was brought to attention), "Brian Fallon & CRT", which people aren't sure is old or new, or what. I'd 95% guess that it's old, the photos on the purevolume page make him look a lot younger than he is now, but the vocals, he sounds a lot more like he does now than he does on say the "This Charming Man" EP.

Still, 3 cool tunes;

Also, are Johnny Foreigner worth the hype? I've hated them, despite never listening to them, cos all the trendwhores bum them. It's just they're headlining some show with "Pulled Apart By Horses" up here, who are epic. There's also a band on the bill called "DANANANANAYKROYD"...which is a fucking amazing name hahaha....and are actually a fucking epic band who sound near identical to Los Campesinos! Only appear to have 1/3 of the amount of fanny...but she's a good'un.

Yeah, I'm going to need the This Charming Man EP, even if it is named after a bloody Smiths song. Am I the only one who doesn't get The Smiths' appeal?

[Skummy]

I can't stand Dananananackroyd or however many danananas it is, which is a shame as it's an absolutely brilliant name. A lot of indie muso types and indie publications seem to have a bit of a thing for them, so I wouldn't be surprised to see them get a little bigger by the end of the year.

Drags, check the Gaslight Anthem thread in the leak place at D-Lyrium.

It's the girls from S Club juniors, with some other chick.

They're now legal, and hot.

So I don't mind the video

[Tarheels.]

So Manchester Orchestra is releasing a new EP in October I believe. And they're going on tour again so I get to see them in December.

However, Ben Folds Five tickets sold out when my source for the ticket was 5 people from the front

[YI]

Ordered my ticket for Gaslight Anthem, December 5th at Astoria 2. Any EWB'ers planning on going...as I think this could possibly be a flying solo effort.

[Liam]

I wouldn't want to go up to London to see them, but part of me is feeling that if I don't, by the time they get around to doing bigger shows/tours, they'll be pricier than I fancy/harder to get.

[YI]

Yeah, they've already pumped their tickets up to £12 face value, whereas the one I bought for the August Manchester show (but unfortunately couldn't get to) was £6.

Word has it, Astoria 2's a fairly wank venue, I've bever been to a gig there, only the main venue. There's apparently a step in the middle of the floor. But Gaslight aren't much of a 'pit' band, so it shouldn't be much of a problem.

And I love London. I've been to see The New Amsterdams, Ignite, The Weakerthans, Mars Volta and Death Cab For Cutie in London this year, as well as Give It A Name Festival, and have fallen in love with some of the venues, and been to some of the best gigs of my life there. So, good times. Mars Volta were wank though. But it was an epic pilled up night.

I've got a bit of a problem. I've already called off going to see Paint It Black this month, as my brother's moved home from London, so I'll have to pay for a travelodge or something, and as of now, I can't afford to do that for Paint It Black. Also Paint It Black clashes with my freshers week/on the day I have to register at uni, so fuck it, it's another reason to bail on it. But I've got Strung Out in Kingston as well as Gaslight coming up, both of which are shows I don't wanna miss.

Yes...I want to catch 2 SO shows.

[Liam]

Astoria 2, as in the Mean Fiddler (or the Venue Formally Known As, if its changed its name). Yeah, its not a bad venue, but there is a huge step up onto a square dancefloor type area in the middle, which when people are spread out to watch a band, is bloody dangerous. As you said though, shouldn't be so much moshing about, so you should be ok.

[Cactus Drags]

Interestingly, I'm in London December 1-4 for Coheed, I might be able to stretch it out another day...

[YI]

DO IT!!! And make Keith put me up for the night.
