Davey_T Posted November 26, 2007 Posted November 26, 2007 'Reading and Leeds Festivals will no longer be known as the Carling Weekend. Organisers Festival Republic have confirmed that they have parted ways with the beer giant, who has sponsored the twin festivals for nine years. Carling will also no longer be the official lager of the festivals. In a statement, Festival Republic's Melvin Benn said: "It was by mutual agreement that both parties felt the time was right to pursue new opportunities." The southern leg of the event now looks set to revert to its original name, Reading Festival, originally used from the bash's first year in 1971.' They head lined at GIAN, before them were New Found Glory and All American Rejects, now, New Found Glory were greatly comedic, and then AAR were all kicking footys into the crowd and throwing blown up condoms into the crowd. However, Brand New, just come on, sing their slower songs and don't interact with the crowd AT all and made everyone slow when they should finish making everyone more hyper and happy. That was absolutely amazing. Everyone seemed to hate it except me :\
jayseven Posted November 27, 2007 Posted November 27, 2007 Brand New are an amazing band live... if you're a fan, most probably. They're know how to write lyrics, and Deja Entendu is a whole album of yum because of it. TDAGARIM is good but a bit disjointed for me. I keep hearing of people who went to GIAN last time... there were, like, 7 of my favourite (at one point or another..) bands including mewithoutYou. I've only met two other fans and they were the guys who introduced me.
Dan_Dare Posted November 27, 2007 Posted November 27, 2007 is anyone a Ryan Adams fan? I've more than a moment to spare for his more inventive moments and his lyrics are often a thing of beauty to encounter. Sylvia Plath is, amongst others, a melancholy work of genius.

Roostophe Posted November 27, 2007 Posted November 27, 2007 I've finally bothered to put all my Jeff Buckley songs on iTunes. Listening to a song I've not heard in what feels like a decade. It's fucking genius!
Paj! Posted November 27, 2007 Posted November 27, 2007 Tori Amos is WIN. what albums are you looking for? Oh my god! *shouts in ecstacy at the Spark video* I love. My spiritual twin. Anyway; Under The Pink - In the main HMV for £15 ( ) To Venus And Back - In the main Virgin for £20 ( ) or in the main HMV for £17 ( ) Strange Little Girls - Nowhere I've seen. I'll have to resort to amazon methinks. It's depressing.

Cube Posted November 28, 2007 Posted November 28, 2007 Seeing as it's getting close to the end of the year, whats everyone's favourite: Track Album Video so far this year? Track: Iron Maiden - The Longest Day Album: Iron Maiden - A Matter of Life and Death Video: No Idea, don't watch many. Don't ask me why, but I just bought this single:
thirtynine. Posted November 28, 2007 Posted November 28, 2007 Album: Battles - MirroredTrack: Battles - Leyendecker Video: Fuck it. Unimportant. What are battles like? I continually hear good things.
Oxigen_Waste Posted November 28, 2007 Posted November 28, 2007 What are battles like? I continually hear good things. They're a math rock band... Hard to categorize or really compare them to anything else. Listen for yourself: Ignore the fact that these are videos, just listen to the songs themselves: - The official single for the album, quite a fantastic track. My favourite track of theirs, this one.
DomJcg Posted November 28, 2007 Posted November 28, 2007 Come on guys! the best video is quite easily Mute Maths
Hem Posted November 28, 2007 Posted November 28, 2007 Album: The Arcade Fire - Neon Bible Track: Jay-Z - Roc Boys (And The Winner Is...) Video: Common Ft. Lily Allen - Drivin' Me Wild
Roostophe Posted November 28, 2007 Posted November 28, 2007 Album: Jamie T - Panic Prevention Track: Arcade Fire - Intervention Video: Jamie T - Sheila (Bob Hoskins FTW!)
