  1. Yes, yes I could, but I don't think I'll make back the $176 they charge for 6, that being the minimum amount, and thus the priciest. Besides I'm a student. Skint. Bag of wank that.
  2. Oh but Neighbourhood (Tunnels) though! His voice is pretty heartbreaking, and the lyrics. Same goes for Laika. I find Arcade Fire's most depressing stuff is the best anyway, hits you that bit harder. The whole of ( ) by Sigur Ros is pretty morbid. It's a good thing kids!
  3. fuckthenme.atspace.com is a brilliant piss-take site for you fellow haters, but it was better when it actually parodied the look exactly from the site. They've stopped updating now, but I can only presume this is because NME is beyond parody now. New Musical Express is a funny name really when the same old tired bands or bandwagon-jumpers are paraded across the cover each week to go with bloody trends. No Sigur Ros, Cooper Temple Clause, Mars Volta, Mogwai, Aloha, or a load of other new or otherwise bands with brilliant new music, just the same boring formula. And why do they bullshit so much to sell copies??? 'Mike Skinner goes into rehab' this week, when he was actually filming a new video. 'Radiohead - new material?!' - no thats a 1987 demo or two...'Summer Tour Revealed?!' - no a one off Big Ask charity gig featuring Thom and Jonny...'V Festival Headliners?!' - no, thats just bullshit full stop. And to declare Ian Brown 'godlike genius' has to have some sense of irony. I could go on...but i won't. The fact that these results were voted for by fans just shows how much damage such an accessible mag can do to the 'indie' loving music public anyway.
  4. look, I'm very sorry for the flood of clothes related threads (thats probably the most unenticing thread title ever lol), but hey, we all need to get laid some day...anyway, the recent discussion has been great, some bloody good sites coming up - but I'm really up for designing my own radiohead t-shirt using one of the many websites out there especially. Unfortunately, they come in two varieties - crap, limited designs that they CAN produce 1 at a time, or excellent designing space that requires you to buy the tshirts in bulk. Still with me? No? Well listen, I came up with this tasty Jonny Greenwood inspired number at this site - http://customink.com/cink/r.jsp?E=bensoc%40gmail.com&F=radiohead - only to find I had to order at least 6. Whaaaa? But I'm really attached to the design now (check out the back dammit!), only I can't recreate it on one of the cheapo sites...Anyone with more experience than I reckon they can help? Also feel free to share your daddy-cool designs, please do.
  5. Maximo Park are depressingly bad, Arcade Fire are depressingly good.
  6. Complete fucking douschebags the lot of em. Respect to Arctic Monkeys for getting where they have, but NME have taken away any credibility they had in that swamp of hype. Next week I'm guessing the front page will have a big close of Alex Turner 'coolest man alive' according to the tossers, with 'It's really happening now!', then maybe some Morrisey, Maximo Park, Ian Brown, the lot. And Pete Doherty sexiest man? HE IS AN UGLY SKAGHEAD!
  7. Okay, this is another blatant rip off of the cool tshirts thread (i'm good at this!), but i'm sick of the shit clothes that my mum buys me cuz I can't be assed to shop for my own. Tshirts are ok (at least now they are anyway!) but coat and trouser-wise i'm stuck with nasty brown primark jackets and same same same fucking stone-wash jeans. Coatwise, something like this would be cool - Whereas trousers I like interesting jeans and otherwise, not the shit with the artistic pre-constructed rips and holes just, interesting. Also any tops apart from tshirts. And it has to be cheap!! Not too fussy then. Anyone wanna help me?
  8. Frank Zappa - Hot Rats, The Grand Wazzoo, Waka Jawaka Captain Beefheart - Safe As Milk The Mars Volta - Scabdates The Arcade Fire - Funeral The Grateful Dead - Live/Dead, Workingmans Dead, erm, one more Miles Davis - Bitches Brew. All brilliant. Old music all the way y'hear?
  9. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 1. Guns n Roses 2. gorillaz 3. eminem 4. the cars 5. Pet shop boys 6. scissor sisters 7. Smashing Pumpkins 8. Blur 9. Alice in Chains 10. Led Zepplin 11. White Snake 12. Matchbox 20 13. Greenday 14. 50 cent 15. Garbage 16. Spoon 17. The Eagles 18. Rolling Stones 20. TaTu 21. Boomtown rats 22. The pixies 23. Kiss 24. Madonna 25. Manic Street Preachers 26. Jet 27. The White Stripes 28. The Sex Pistols 29. Queen 30. The Zombies - next to the petshop. Excellent psychedelic group. 31. Nine Inch Nails - on the road??
  10. Ok, this is totally ripped off from the Download Fest thread, but I'm rather excited about this year's Carling festival. Muse are pretty much 99% confirmed to headline, which gets me very excited them being the amazing live band they are...Also rumoured are the Secret Machines, who are amazing and I'm seeing them in March, The Strokes, which would be cool, Arctic Monkeys (of course), Franz Ferdinand, and mayyybe, pleease, The Mars Volta. Excellent potential lineup then, and hopefully we'll get some classic bands like we had Iggy and the Stooges and Iron Maiden last year. I plan to be in a stoned haze from Thurday to Sunday, and have a small dosage of magic shrooms, meet lots of new people, get laid, and have a fine fine time. Anyone else planning on going?
  11. I've heard whispers of Mars Volta.....
  12. http://www.youtube.com/p.swf?video_id=Oy8wkZIft0c&l=291&eurl=http%3A//blog.myspace.com/index.cfm%3Ffuseaction%3Dblog.view%26friendID%3D45222168%26blogID%3D77568715%26MyToken%3D78030310-ff2c&t=The-Plastic-Hassle&s=086A642B5D835821:53C662DC848F75CD Hilarious...I'm the brown guy.
  13. Okay, coolest playlist ever. First 'Hot Rats' by Frank Zappa, cos I don't like to ram the fact that it's an upsetting time down my mourners throats. Then How to Disappear Completely by Radiohead, brrrrr as my coffin goes down. Then Tetris theme as the mourners fuck off to unsettle them and maybe make their tears a little awkward. Fuck yeah!
  14. So why is this any different to my Myspace thread? Y'know what I don't think Ashley likes me. boo. Motherfucking boo. Right I'm gonna rack my brains for a good thread.
  15. Hey all, check out my band The Plastic Hassle at http://www.myspace.com/theplastichassle - We're very different, all the more reason to give us a chance I think! No songs up yet but give us a second and we'll have some on the way. Anyone who wants to comment or plug their own band feel freeeee...
  16. ...in need of a good wank. Don't worry admins it's not porn. http://rapidshare.de/files/10556159/ChristinaAguilera_Tour2005.mov.html
  17. What, in the sense that you make no sense? You're kinda missing the point of this thread in that I'm trying to introduce a wider range of misunderstood or underappreciated music to the board, thus meaning, you complete douschebag.
  18. So bad it's good is the compensation claim one you always get on GMTV breaks, with the lie detector, for the immortal hammy lines: "Will I be recieving 100% of the compensation?!"..."Yes." genius. and then the shit "nice tie" thing ruins it
  19. ...or one man's brave journey to turn an indie/metal/emo (sorry to the other music lovers!) community on to PROG. ROCK, part 1. :awesome: (yes i'm being slightly tongue in cheek). Basically I'm a prog-rock obsessive who is frequently pissed off by the complete ignorage of the brilliant underappreciated genre by the vast majority of mainstream music, music press, and music fans. So I thought I'd start on you guys - ignore the incredibly dodgy mullet and 'doc' cape, and watch the whole vid - look at his (Rick Wakeman of Yes') freaking fingers!! - http://www.youtube.com/watch.php?v=VSChIdwvgag&search=rick%20wakeman - It might be incredibly cheesy, but I'd like to see the Kaiser Chief keyboard man attempt it!! Also of note - youtube.com is flipping incredible, blows Google video out of the water, for finding videos of ANYTHING you'd ever dream of. barring porn. Now all we need is a way of getting it onto our iPod videos...! Prog I say!
  20. When X Factor uses that 'dramatic choir piece' every episode, y'know the chanting one, which used to be bloody epic on WWF and what not, but now is DONE TO DEATH! find something else. bands known as 'indie' that get into NME cos they have tight little t shirts, ties, 'rad' asymmetrical hair, a synth player, and a singer who sounds like he needs a good shit. The NME, and that joke of a cool list. Cheap ass mens mags nut and zoo, who insist on having 'real girls mobile phone photo tits' for the front cover. Carol Vorderman when she says some bullshit about life passing you by when you're in debt (WTF?!). The woolworths dickhead mascotts. Arctic monkeys, not the guys, but the people who don't understand the concept of hyperbole and think they're something revolutionary. myspace twats. parents getting nothing but shit cereals that provide no incentive to get out of bed. getting out of bed. people with laughably fickle tastes in music. Johnny Borrell. North Devon. that's bout it.
  21. Five words. FUCKING KERRY CATONA ICELAND ADS. I mean, what the fuck celebrity has she done? apart from bryan, muh huh. Gah with the massive fat person tits and orange features...get away!
  22. Saying 'ya mum' like it's something new and fresh, itching my balls in (mostly) public, bloody cheesy 70s prog rock, really genuinely shit air guitar to comfortably numb, and not being able to get to college through sheer morning addiction to this morning count among mine.
  23. Yeah, i tried the same thing a little while back, it's been proved legit all over the web but R-E mods saw fit to remove the link and all that nonsense, the sods. I'm sure there are enough people on this forums to generate a load of free iPods all round, click on the link, next 5 repliers click on the link, sign up, leave their own links, who five people eventually sign up to each. You could edit your post to say how many more people you need to sign up, so eventually nearly everyone except the latecomers would get themselves a nice freebie...but noooo, pyramid schemes not endorsed blah blah. Also, I was only ever gonna upload b-sides (which you can't download legally and I'm sure record labels aren't gonna get nasty about it when you'd otherwise have to purchase the singles) and live bootleg stuff, so why all the link removing nonsense. Here's another link to a similar auction, this chaps got quite a few up at supposedly stupid prices...hmmm http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Apple-iPod-BLACK-30GB-Mp3-Player-VIDEO-NEW_W0QQitemZ5835218364QQcategoryZ90964QQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem
  24. Hey all, I'm really sorry to be on about fricking iPods again, but I'll cut to the chase this time. I am sorely lacking in money (it's not that I'm a lazy bum, I've got a job, it's just I'm £200 in debt to my friend for a Hammond organ off eBay ), and desperately want a 30gb black iPod video dirt cheap...can anyone hear sympathise with me? My 'pyramid-scheme-but-not-quite-pyramid-scheme' fell through, but on eBay I stumbled across this bargain...too much of a bargain if you ask me. http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Apple-iPod-BLACK-30GB-Mp3-Player-VIDEO-NEW_W0QQitemZ5834758160QQcategoryZ90964QQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem - basically what I want, but from china and only around 100 shmackers. Now I don't wanna throw my money down the drain, so your advice on whether this guy is a sneaky bastard would be massively appreciated. And I reckon some of you will still think I'm a jive sucker, so for every nice reply I get, I'll not upload a song from my collection as that's not very good, and I'm certainly not going to start with the rare gem from the Mars Volta; title track off Frances the Mute but couldn't quite fit on the album, so they released it as a single with The Widow! - http://www.don'tdothissortofthing.com Ain't that nice? Cheers.
  25. Please don't lock this thread, I've seen these things all over eBay, and realised that it's not a shit scam (you know those "Xbox PS2 Gamecube FREE FREE FREE auctions that piss everyone right off), it really does get you one of those 30gb video iPods. If bbc and wired.com ran positive articles on it it has to be legit right? Basically you click on the following link - http://www.revo-europe.com - it leads to this nice slick looking website with NICE and RESPECTABLE companies such as blockbuster linked (which i went with). Sign up to one of them (I recommend blockbusters for two weeks of free dvd rentals which you then CANCEL dammit), you're given a link which you send to 10 or so willing friends (I have none so I turn to you guys), the willing friends click on the link, sign up with one, refer to ten willing friends etc etc. Free iPods all round basically. I would have thought there was a catch but bbc and wired don't think so, and £220 in your pocket has gotta be a good thing so give it a go basically! If you guys sign up on mine and post your own referal links we're all helping each other out with is nice.
