The Zwan album gets 7.5/10 too.
Encouraging.

Zwan stink but Eamonn Sweeney got 'The Chalets' bang on.

Did they say anything nice about the organisers ?

 

[Burgerbarbaby]

Din't see Hot Piss (ha ha haaaa! Snort), but the Ballroom emerged pretty much unscathed from being reviewed in the new Slate. It was non-committal but broadly positive, which is plenty better than most live music clubs get.

Here, what's the story with the March Ballrooms? Is stuff sorted out?

Here ye go...

So my boss just caught me reading hot press... sweet.

'....the ultimate anecdote...'

a hur hur hur

Like I said before. The Chalets are GREAT! I admire their song writing. I really do. They could make Charles Manson smile.

Rollers/Sparkers don't sound like Mogwai at all. At least not on 'Geography for the leaving'.

Rule of Music Journalism no. something:
Instrumental rock => sounds like mogwai

Saves thinking.

ep definitely not like mogwai but some of the live tunes at the ballroom did show similarities - esp. due to the rickenbacker bass.

Dear God... Lemmy... *THAT* was a rocker!

According to the legend* he had feet surgery because he refused to take his boots off for more than three months

*read "I made this up"

I heard that his Boyle (how the fuck do I spell it?), or Boil was the one with the talent, he wrote and rocked everything, Lemmy was just a tool (in the practical sense) if you will, through which genius flowed.

Yeah but you know what? It's not about the musician it's about the character, I mean, Lemmy looks like he popped out from a cartoon, it's hard to think similar people do exist
