Not heard anything by Soft Skeleton, but I liked that Metric song which was pretty much a ripoff of The Clash :Eyesroll:.

Haha, much as I like to act all indie-cool and diss singles/champion album tracks I will admit that Monster Hospital is Metric's best song...

Alternative/Indy ; TOOL , Akhmed, Eagles of Death Metal, Iggy pop, Qeens of the Stone Age
I hate
Clubbing and it`s music that I dunno what to say about it I`ve heared there are House and otcher crap music as Techno rtc.
I dislike Hip Hop , Rap ,R&B
But I like regge (especially on our Woodstock festival)
These are one of my favorite bands and kinds of music , I am sorry if someone feel unhappy cause I said this things about techno but these are my thoughts and I hope nobody feel bad/sad/etc. because I don`t really care ...
The reason I hate Techno is simple , ppl in Poland that listen to Techno are most of all a rude ppl that are trying to Hunt metal listners, However in some cities there is a pece around those groups 
.....
Techno listneers are in men cause a bunch of criminals , ex-prisoners and ppl with bad taste of Clothing and for sure they are the grout that makes everything worse for poland. I mean that ppl in otcher countries find poland as savage land of post comunist governament and post comunist ppl . In germany not so long ago in shops near border there was a card sayin "Wach for Polish ppl they Steal goods" or they just say jokes like " Go to poland , your car is already there"
............
I just miss the point did I :);p
Sorry for spam lads , but when I can to show my situation to otcher nations and I have some free time I just write this crap that you`ll say later W** is he sayin bout (saying about).....

So yeah I just saw Justice last night, serious "ohmygodamazing" factors in there.
They were brilliant, I advise anyone to see them if you have the chance. They're easily the dance act of the decade. I can see them being like Daft Punk soon enough.

What does anyone think of the new Bloc Party track?
4 December 2007 - 2:27pm
#61
Flux is quite a tune, even if it is just Bloc Party gone nu-rave, haha.
I'm not a massive fan of BP though, only like the obvious Helicopter/Banquet/Hunting For Witches, couldn't get into either album.
So yeah, Radiohead tickets are apparently going to be £42.50 here, it's a bit harsh.
4 December 2007 - 6:59pm
#62
Flux is brilliant in nightclubs- hopefully it is just a minor diversion because taking one of British music's best guitarists at the minute and subjecting him to simply a 5 note tremolo for a track is a crime! That and the NME was describing how the band aren't all happy with the move (but hey that's the mother fucking 'new' NME).
And have Radiohead announced locations/ dates yet?

http://www.pitchforkmedia.com/article/news...-tour-itinerary
The ticket price probably rules me out unless I win the lottery sometime soon but isn't too bad for what will probably be a whole day's worth of entertainment. I saw the last night of MOVE festival 2004 at Lancashire County Cricket Ground and it was incredible: James Maker (yuck!), The Beta Band, The Ordinary Boys (when they were content with being a ripoff of The Jam), New York Dolls and...Morrissey!. My favourite gig. I am trying to persuade my parents into loaning me money for a Bruce Springsteen ticket, because let's face it if you've not seen Bruce Springsteen live then you have no right to call yourself a man!!!!!!
Not a massive fan of Bloc Party, but they're okay.
5 December 2007 - 1:08pm
#64
Yeah, Flux is an indie club hit, but to be honest Bloc Party were always capable of that - look at Helicopter and their remix album, they're so incredibly danceable.
I bought a Radiohead ticket earlier on presale, for Manc.
5 December 2007 - 2:17pm

I would, but I picked up a Bruce Springsteen ticket today XD (at Old Trafford, my mum is not going to be happy..).

I was told it was presale but it doesn't really appear to be anymore...
I just realised how much I can't wait to see them. And it's about 7 months away.

opening for CSS? I saw the manchester show on tuesday, was incredible. The fact that they did a DJ set rather than just played the tunes really underlined what an awesome set of musicians Justice are, because they could easily have got away with taking the lazy way out.

CSS sold out in Sheff before I could get tickets. Sadly would be Joe Lean instead of Justice, but he isn't THAT bad.

OK enough of the English fellating each other:
I have deciding that I can now name which "genres" I tend to prefer my music to be from:
(this is a big accomplishment as I'm terrible with genres)
1. "Pop" (I like new stuff. ...)
2. "Classic Rock" (I like old stuff. ...)
3. "80's" (I love the 80's hehe)
On hiatus. Blame holloway.

Well, it wasn't quite a DJ set - that sort of implies that they'd just play some tunes from other bands rather than their own songs. Although it was also a DJ set insofar that they mixed their own pre-recorded tracks live.
It was pretty massive either way! CSS were pretty bad afterwards, in comparison.

Ugh, I can't stand Joe Lean & the Jing Jang Jong...although there's a chance I may be seeing them if I find myself at one of the dates on the NME tour...

I saw CSS and Justice on Friday. Justice were excellent, not so impressed by CSS. Call me crazy but I like my live music to be different than simply listening to the album.

Not familiar with either group (well sure I've heard some CSS and wasn't impressed at all), but I completely agree with you on that point. A concert should be a unique experience, not merely a recycled setlist of stuff played note for note as recorded on the CD. Lou Reed seems to consciously reinvent songs when he's playing on tour (I don't just mean 'oh hai let's play this sng acousatically), so even if you've heard a song you love a hundred times, it can completely blow you away in a way you've never have imagined.
10 December 2007 - 6:01pm

Anyway.. some of my favorites..
Marilyn Manson (not so much this last album though)
Primus
A Perfect Circle
The Doors
Sublime
Rage Against the Machine
Pink Floyd
The Beatles (together and individually)
Ravi Ashkar
Ween
Acid Bath
Tool
The Guess Who
Smashing Pumpkins

Thats just reminded me, any of you Mancunians seen any gigs with two neon coloured young people, normally held in disused buildings?
They do sort of poppy-math-nurave stuff.

I've only been once, last Halloween. Wasn't that keen. If you aren't already wrecked when you get there (the bar is impregnable), and if you don't do drugs, it's pretty shit.

Battles are so good, Four Tet's edit of Tonto is epic.
Not to be confused with 'Battle', who aren't good. At all.
What's the name of those two neon people from Manc?
11 December 2007 - 5:27pm
#90
I'll dig out my copy of the NME (oh shame!) and find out for you.
And Battle ARE shite, however I have a mate who is certain they are amazing. So much so that I expect he will log in for the first time in 2 years and reply to this because that's the way he rolls.
11 December 2007 - 5:31pm
#91
Crap, I haven't bought the Battles album yet; I really should when I have...umm..money. Tonto is incredible: if Yes were actually a bunch of cyborgs from 2300 I think this is the sort of music they might produce. Well, if the rest of Yes were anyway, I'm already pretty convinced Steve Howe isn't human.

:Eyesroll:
Another "the" band I'm listening to now, The Enemy. It's more catchy indie stuff.
Also, I listen to You Only Live Once by The Strokes ad nauseum. The song was going around my head for about 6 months but I couldn't remember who it was by, nor could I remember any of the lyrics so it was impossible to look it up. I had a brain wave about 3 months in that it was by the Strokes, so I listened to the album of theirs I had but it was the wrong bloody one.
Now I'll never forget again.
I have deciding that I can now name which "genres" I tend to prefer my music to be from:

Bon Jovi fan, huh?
11 December 2007 - 6:01pm

The Jam really ought to sue the Enemy. They're exactly the same on their new single.
Which Strokes did you get first? If it was the first album, for god's sakes, get that thing on loop!

I don't really listen to much indie, but The Enemy I'm quite fond of.
At the moment, I'm listening to:
Aphex Twin
Venetian Snares
Mr Scruff
Shpongle
Lucid
Pendulum
Last Rhythm
Liquid
The whole of 'Renaissance: Future Club Classics'. AWESOME album, 3 CDs of absolute tunes. Trust me, this is not your standard club album full of songs that have been rinsed for months, every song is a mix from Renaissance, and every mix is top notch. Well worth a listen.

The neon loons are called the "Ting Tings". I'm gonna see what they're like tomorrow morning.
11 December 2007 - 8:40pm
#97
Ooof, the Ting Tings 
I don't really like them, mainly because their synthesisers are horrible, as are the vocals. The rest of the music, though is surprisingly not that bad at all. They'll probably be big over here in 2008 cos they're pretty fucking catchy I must say (I had 'Great DJ' by them in my head all day today...and I haven't heard it in weeks!)
I hear they're top notch live, I know someone who saw them supporting New Young Pony Club and she said they were brill.

I'm not so hot personally on the last three genres (though I'm sure someone will convert me to Jazz at some stage, I'd best brace myself...) but Wintersun is a pretty good start. What a wonderful album!
And also Holloway, I never spotted that comment about the Enemy ripping off the Jam. My guess is that we probably have another Ordinary Boys on our hands, i.e. relatively strong first album that rips off the Jam, followed by increasingly futile attempts to win commercial success whilst destroying bit by bit any ounce of credibility that they might possess. The Strokes did it too though, minus the Jam ripping off.

Wow, you actually heard that album? I think it's absolutely amazing. What i find even more amazing is how the majority of the album is in 3/4 time signatures.

"metric, stars, feist and broken social scene" - all excellent bands! I quite like Emily Haines' work with the Soft Skeleton as well, although Metric are probably a better band.
Cadence Weapon is a brilliant Canadian rapper, especially with his collaborations with Final Fantasy (aka Owen Pallet, former strings arranger of the Arcade Fire).
One song I particularly like by Cadence is "Grim Fandago" where he samples the theme from Silent Hill, it's brilliant.
