  1. Fuck the underdogs. As a Derby fan living in Leicester, I feel it my duty to want Wolves embarassed and beggin to be sent back to Division One.

    Pompey play Wolves Saturday.

     

    I trust you know who to cheer for.

  2. Who were the best band at Reading festival?

    It's a tie between Blur and Interpol. The latter's Turn On the Bright Lights is better than anything the former has done in years, but still, it's their only album to date. Blur's last three albums had their share of enjoyable--great, even--moments, but I'm not particularly high on them. However, as long as Albarn and Co. can still crank out a wonderful tune like "Out of Time," I'll keep following them.

     

    All that said, there sure were a lot of shitty bands playing.

    Wow, you do know all the answers.

  3. -Me and my roommate (Jimmy Beard) made the big screens for our 'Carling Confession' before Blur. I cannot describe how cool it is to have 40,000+ laugh at your antics.

     

    NICE! Which ones were you? What did you say?

    Me and Jimmy were the chubby indian guy (me) and white guy that were giving each other chops across the chest before I headbutted him, chokeslammed him and delivered a Stone Cold elbow drop while shouting 'STONE COLD!'.

     

    Yeah we ripped the sequence from 'Spaced' but it got us on the Carling Confessions so we rule!

    Heh, I vaguely remember that. You guy's rock! Not that it was ever in doubt ;)

  4. THE CHAVE REPORT!!!!

     

    First up, I would like to say I felt rough as fuck the whole weekend, and so didn't see that many bands, but here are my opinions of what I did see:

     

    Friday

     

    Franz Ferdinand: Good litle indie band. No outstanding songs, but you can see they've got potential. Sound like a mix of The Smiths, The Clash and Pulp.

     

    The Datsuns: I didn't expect much, but they're a damn good live band. Nice metal riffs, got the fans up for it and got a nice little pit going

     

    The Darkness: Amazingly impressive. I thought they'd be pretty crap musically, but they didn't show themselves up of anything. The crowd were crazy for them, they stole the festival and "I Believe In A Thing Called Love" will be a massive hit.

     

    The Polyphonic Spree: Got the fans involved nicely, got a lively bit of pogo-ing going on, and left you with a smile on your face, mainly because they played the ending scenes of Disney's Robin Hood with their last song.

     

    Saturday

     

    The Libertines: I love them. They sounded good without Pete, but lacked that edge of unpredictability. Again, some nice pogo action going on.

     

    Beck: Sucked so much, I walked the 20 minutes back to my tent instead of having to put up with him.

     

    Blur: Screw you guys, I loved them. Played some great stuff off Parklife, played some new stuff to give us a breather and Damon fell of the stage. Plum.

     

    Sunday

     

    Radio 4: Meh. OK, but had no decent songs to work with. Crowd only got interested when Har Mar Superstar got on stage for a bit.

     

    The Eighties Matchbox B-Line Disaster: Again, most would hate them, but I loved them. Got down the front to touch the singer, had some very vocal fans and Psychosis Safari sounds great live.

     

    Har Mar Superstar: Genius. Played an electroclash version of Enter Sandman, worked the crowd with his "arrogance" and got Jack Osbourne on stage to jump around to random disco. Superb.

     

    Grandaddy: I loved The Sophtware Slump, but they aren't great live, so I went to see...

     

    Squarepusher: Who I couldn't handle with a cold. On record good, but there wasn't enough glitch support to make a good atmosphere and make it work.

     

    Yeah Yeah Yeahs: Again, disappointing. I was willing to give them a shot, but they weren't that engaging live.

     

    Metallica: Saw the first few songs, but I'm not a fan of their repetitve churning riffs, and I wasn't gonna see anything to change my mind that night. I went down with a load of fans, and they were raving so I guess it's a matter of taste.

     

    OVERALL: I didn't come to the festival for the music this year, but because so many of my good mates were going so in that respect the festival rocked. However, the only band of the weekend I truly loved before the festival were The Libertines so music-wise it was nothing special. The comedy tent was probably the best place in the arena for me...

  5. I covered this in a post in the music board a while back, Inc in my eyes is no better than a little girl, therefore getting the name "her" instead of "him" thank you for the update on his sex, on and Matchy........Fu.......er........uh.......I enjoyed your series too much to tell you to "fuck off" so I won't!

    If someone can get banned for calling Tiff a "cunt", surely this is ban-worthy.

     

    OMG BAN PLZ~!

  6. You ~HIPPIE-IST!

    Actually, I believe this guy's the hippiest.

    OH...I was under the impression that if I put -ist on the end of anything that means that you are hating said group. You know...racist, sexist, hippie-ist, damn sexy guy named ripper-ist. See?

    Yeah, It's just a Jimmy Carr joke.

     

    Fat Woman: I hate people who judge people on their look. You're fat-ist.

     

    Jimmy Carr: Au contraire. I believe you're fattest.
