Not that I care much - or at all - but I still think the Futureheads are a little too good for this.....

"there's a new music taking over this country... it's called landfill indie"

The bands who have achieved their way to zero votes are the ones who really embody what landfill indie is all about, imho.

rly, more than this, or did it just feel like it due to the depressing nature of any attention being paid these dire dullards? at least landfillers are young dipshits having a go.
Cast, Ocean Weller Scene, ?? - who else really counts?

press release from stiff :
Stiff Records is proud to announce first week sales figures for its latest album - Johnny Borrell's 'Borrell 1' - of 594.
'Borrell 1' is the debut solo LP from the former Razorlight vocalist and is the first new album on the highly prolific Stiff Records since 2007.
That last album was the multi million-selling two-volume set, '30 Years Of Stiff Records' (although admittedly that was a free cover-mount with 'The "First week sales of 594 makes 'Borrell 1' the 15,678th best selling album of the year to date," comments a Stiff spokesperson. "So far we've achieved 0.00015% sales of Adele's '21' - and 0.03% sales of this week's No. 1 album from Jahmene Douglas - so we feel like it's all to play for as we move into the all-important week two."
"We might even break the Top 100."

In February 2008, The Twang had their University of Surrey gig filmed and later broadcast on Channelbee. However this footage is no longer available due to Channelbee's demise.
― nakhchivan, Sunday, 16 March 2014 03:17 (ten years ago) link
ChannelBee was an internet television channel which launched on 5 July 2008. As from 20/11/09 Channelbee has ceased operating. ChannelBee is a new concept featuring new and topical content each day varying from comedy sketches to daily blogs and football. Television presenter Tim Lovejoy came up with the idea with some of his colleagues on Soccer AM, which he hosted alongside Helen Chamberlain for 11 years.
The original crew members at time of launch were Tim Lovejoy, John 'Fenners' Fendley, Neil 'The Square' Smythe, Joe 'Sheephead' Worsley, Robbie 'The Tramp' Knox, Jon Dyson, Chris 'The Vegetarian' Stott, Jadeen Singh and Gemma. This group has subsequently been added to as ChannelBee has expanded with new members Harriet Pulford, 'Bendy' Ben Lowe, Tony 'The Cockney' Watson and Jamie 'Sheps' Sheppard joining.
At the core of the website is the forum known as the Banter Pit where members talk about the Channel and other topics. Members can give feedback on content here and uniquely receive a response from the sites producers including Tim Lovejoy. There are also weekly competitions that in the past have had prizes including a PlayStation 3, football tickets and even the opportunity to come to the office, meet the team and enter a poker competition, the prize was won by longstanding member Sgt Bash.

I don't actually mind Maximo Park. As for the rest of the bill, I'd rather listen to Cast and Ocean Colour Scene. In fact, I'd rather listen to Cast and Ocean Colour Scene that 95% of the bands in this poll, which says a lot about the level of quality we're dealing with here.

Premier League predictions: Lawro v Biffy Clyro singer Simon Neil
BBC Sport's football expert Mark Lawrenson is pitting his wits against a different guest each week this season.
His opponent for the weekend's Premier League fixtures is Biffy Clyro frontman Simon Neil.
Neil is backing all of the Premier League's top three of Liverpool, Chelsea and Manchester City to win this weekend, but thinks the title race is now a foregone conclusion.
