R.I.P. Fall Out Boy?

[YI]

The new Minnaars EP is bloody brilliant. "Essay Essay Essay" is absolutely gorgeous.

Epic. Gutted they clashed with Streetlight and Deftones at Leeds.

I like the new Paul Haig album. He is still really quite good despite being about 405.

Oh and the Pugwash compilation thingy.

[YI]

Just got an email from Digital....Miike Snow at Other Rooms, 5th of Feb. WOOOOO!!!!

[METALMAN]

Oh Mike Snow. For some reason he had 12!!! albums on display in the A-Z thing. So I bunged 11 of them in the stockroom where they'll never be seen again.

[LittleDaniel]

My friend gave me a Nosferatu D2 album today for no apparent reason. I'd never heard of them before, but it's quite good. Very lo-fi indie with fun song names like "I Killed Burt Bacharach" and "We'll Play 'The Power of Love' by Frankie Goes to Hollywood a Thousand Times Tonight," which is all a band really needs for me to like them.

[YI]

COMPLICATIONS!!! INJUSTICE!!! DELIBERATIONS!!! WHAT'S THE DEAL?!?

THEY FAKE IT!!! WE BREAK IT!!!!! AND TAKE BACK WHAT THEY STEAL!!!

WE COULD RISE!!! BLACK AND WHITE!!! UNBOUND AND MAKE THEM PAY!!!

FOR EVERY TEAR!!! FOR EVERY FEAR!!! DEFEND OUR YESTERDAYS!!!

:wub: :wub:

The Final Crisis are the worst band in the world. Period. We thought we'd timed it so we'd miss their set, but we were greeted to their last 2/3 songs...absolutely dire...when he's talking though the singer's voice is hilarious...in fact the Leeds/Yorkshire accent in general is so hilarious.

Strike Anywhere are FUCKING EPIIIIIIC!!! Last night made me kick myself for the fact I missed them in Sunderland last November...purely cos I couldn't be arsed to go. :/

Protest The Hero...we missed the start of their set, getting drunk for cheap(er) elsewhere. Caught the last 4/5 songs. I recognised nothing ("Kezia" were epic ). And the singer is a giant knobhead. The twiddly bits were quite nice though, if a little over-indulgent.

Propagandhi...I would be lying if I said I wasn't disappointed. They were good. But, nowhere near as good as I hoped they'd be. Had to leave after "Come To The Sabbat", which was hilarious but a bit of a waste of time to be honest...this meant I missed "Dear Coach's Corner" and "Anti-Manifesto". (If the set is the same as London was, which it appears to be).

Strike Anywhere did;

Sedition

**something**

Amplify -> Blaze

The Crossing

Sunset On 32nd

Hollywood Cemetery

**something**

Infrared

I'm Your Opposite Number

Instinct

To The World

Propagandhi (might be a little out) did;

Supporting Caste

Tertium Non Datur

The Banger's Embrace

Iteration

And We Thought That Nation States Were A Bad Idea

With Friends Like These Who Needs COINTELPRO?

Human(e) Meat

**something**

Back To The Motor League

A Speculative Fiction

Potemkin City Limits

**something**

Without Love

I Was A Pre-Teen McCarthyist

Purina Hall Of Fame

Last Will & Testament

------------------------

Come To The Sabbat

Dear Coach's Corner (missed )

Anti-Manifesto (missed )

...as it turns out...we got to the train station 10-minutes early...and then the train was delayed for like 25-minutes cos a freight train had broken down on the line...so I could have fucking stayed until the end. Just managed to get the connecting train home as well...that'd have been a fucking brilliant way to end the day...at least I would have had a place to stay in York.

Good gig...but Propagandhi just seemed to be missing something. Strike Anywhere were mint though, well worth the money.

Blakroc. You guys better find it. At least half of the record is totally worth your time.

[livid]

Agreed, about half of the album is good, the other half is a bit hit or miss. But the half that's good is really good, so yeah, definitely worth the time.

[METALMAN]

ANDY MURRAY DOES MUSIC!

should stick to the day job...

[ROC]

Stay off the fuckin' flowers.

Seriously, I'd pay more money for a full-on Raekwon/Black Keys record. They just mesh.

[LittleDaniel]

Good News:

Flogging Molly, who my brother loves, are coming to town. Frank Turner is opening for them.

Bad News:

They lot's in town on my girlfriend's birthday. This year Los Campesinos! played on our anniversary, and now I'm probably going to miss Frank Turner.

[YI]

New Eluvium song...album's due next year.

http://www.myspace.com/eluviumtaken

"The Motion Makes Me Last"...also his first track ever to feature percussion and vocals. It's nice.

[YI]

...show be how you dance alone when there's no one else around!
