[Moods For Mallards]

It's a good record yeah. They played a really super gig in Whelan's a few months back. Really chaotic shit.

My first impression of that album was: Ouch, it's really loud.
Then: Some good songs, I might grow to love it.
Then: Meh, never listening to it again.

yeah I found it an awful listen, probably some tunes in there but it's just sounds awful

Open Season, their previous album is amazing. A-may-zi-ing!

RichieJape? Gotta be one of the favourites considering how good the reviews have been.

apart from the surprising hatchet job in hot press

OH RLY?

anyone care to paste it up?

 

[dudley]

surely, you have a lifetime subscription, must have been one of the works?

they gave us a nice review though, so i'd trust their opinion

you'd think! I've been erased from their history!

[Unknown Convict]

elbow?

 

[Mitchum]

elbow?

It's not even a good Elbow record.
Oh well.

 

[evil bandit]

elbow?

It's an alright album much better then the previous one but nowhere near as good as Alseep in the Back or Cast of Thousnads. Guy Garvey is a damn nice guy though so fair play to him!

Out of that list I'd have gone for the Neon Neon one myself..

Considering last week's spat it'd be funny to see JC present Vinnie with the award. You'd have to get some new leather trousers for the night guy.

Last week's spat? Between Vinnie and Jim Carroll? Did I miss out on something?

 

[Vinnie]

Meh. It was ages ago. You missed nothing. He was being Jim Carroll and I probably should have kept my mouth shut. It wasnt very interesting.

[Pantone247]

where did this happen!?

he's had it coming for donkeys of years now, good stuff vinnie

 

[egg_]

I was starting to gain some respect for JC on account of his blog, and the impression he gives that he actually (unlike many music journalists) cares about music. Should I cross him off my list?

 

[Vinnie]

Listen to your heart Egg.

Should I cross him off my list?

 

[Pantone247]

He's defintely toned it down, and his blog isn't as caustic as his column was. Still but, The Scene That Celebrates Itself... such rubbish...

 

[Vinnie]

Nahhh. Like I said, I should probably have said nothing. I dont think I came off particularly well.

if you need backup vinnie, or a folding chair, we could tag team!

Was that him? Fuck, what's that cunt doing on my list
