Morrissey heaps praise on The Courteeners

Ex-Smiths feels the love for Manchester youngsters

The Courteeners are terrible. If Moz had heard the majority of the throwaway bands of the dying indie scene he would know they are nothing special.

Sorry NME, but the left field is not Glastonburys biggest covered stage. The John Peel Stage, Dance East and Acoustic Stage are all bigger than the Left Field.

Liam Gallagher calls Radiohead fans 'boring and ugly'

The Oasis star also reveals he's taken up jogging

Sun 10 Aug, 2008

Comments (1)

Hahaha. Don't look like we're having a good time? Seeing Radiohead at Victoria Park was one of the best and most enjoyable days of my life. People of all ages dancing, singing and having a wonderful time. Whereas an Oasis concert just consists of a stadium sized crowd singing along to pretty the same set list they've kept for 10 years. Grow up Liam, you're starting to look as much as a mug as your brother.

Love The Cribs and love Mark E Smith. Although I disagree with his childish behaviour, I still find it quite funny. He is a true one-off and individual and even seems to stand alone (literally) when it comes to photographs.

To be honest you must be stupid not to look at the booking free and P&P. They are clearly stated next to the price of the ticket on pretty much all ticket sites so if you don't see it then your a fool.

Wed 21 May, 2008

Comments (1)

I'm on the fence when it comes to the Ting Tings, I feel they've written ridiculously catchy songs which will snuggle perfectly into the pop buying market which is refreshing considering all lyrics and instruments are played by the band which is the opposite compared to most high charting acts.

you're a fool you dont divide it by the amount of people on the plane, radiohead themselves wont be making an impact. its not like the plane will make more or less of and impact if they are on it or not. so you and radiohead are wrong. but at least they promote the idea :)

You don't understand BohemianConspiracy. Little bands dont make money from selling records, they make money from doing gigs which is the most important thing anyway. So if their music gets through to enough people then those people will go and see them live.

If people taking drugs was not tabloid paper worthy then people like Amy and Pete Doherty would find it so much easier to quit because the sewer rats who claim to be their friends will do anything for money and if its exploiting their so called friends like this, they will do it.

Kelis to release 'The Hits'

New collection brings together solo tracks and collaborations

Wed 20 Feb, 2008

Comments (1)

Excellent news, she is one of the best female solo RnB stars out there. I usually write most off but with Kelis she has made some amazing songs over the years. Her collaboration with Andre 3000 for the song "Millionaire" is one of the best songs of the last 10 years. Especially in the field of music it falls under.

I think it isnt too bad. Kings Of Leon ARE big enough to headline and have already an impressive back catalogue. Jay-Z will be amazing and I will definitely watch him although I'd have preffered Dr Dre and as for The Verve Im indifferent as they have a few great songs like History but they really are overrated.

Fans react to The Enemy vs Arctic Monkeys feud

Thu 31 Jan, 2008

Comments (1)

Lad rock should have died along with Oasis' writing ability back in 1997 when Be Here Now was released which pretty much sums up my opinion on The Enemy (shit band name may I add). The Arctics are not exactly innovative, but they still have brought out two consistent records with some really amazing singles. Now please can we get back to something more interesting like Johnny Marr joining The Cribs or the return of My Bloody Valentine :)

Manic Street Preachers: 'Radiohead demean music'

Fri 07 Dec, 2007

Comments (1)

I agree with Smoocher. Nicky Wire is an idiot who knows nothing about music. "Labels are scared to move forward, we're not." So thats why you're criticisng Radiohead for moving forward, right... Maybe if the Manics made better music or even just shut Nicky up then we could take them seriously again as the band who made one of the greatest albums ever made, The Holy Bible.

Seeing Maps live recently and downloading the deubt album "We Can Create" makes me feel certain that James Chapman (Maps) has a real great chance of winning the prize. Its the only real deserving album this year and it would be great to see a local act win. Maps all the way.
