"Girls Aloud are as exciting as Franz Ferdinand"

This is a palpable untruth, but nice to see the NME catching up with me four years later.

Who the fuck are "Arctic Monkeys"?

I should've known these words would come back to haunt me.

Apropos whatever, completely unexpectedly, Lo-Fis were fucking brilliant at Knebworth at the weekend. The sound's completely redeveloped since their early days - less glitchly, more bassy, and more like Bugged Out!-esque funky house / techno spun out into MDMA- mantras than Embrace faiing to make dance music.

"why syd matters now more than ever"

"why syd matters now more than ever"

Because he's dead, apparently.

"why syd matters now more than ever"
Because they can do a Syd special and cash in.
And then theres the NME/Mojo Classics special issue to come no doubt.

Was it Syd Little who ended up working as a minimum wage painter and decorator, or Tommy Cannon? I can never remember.

― Dom Passantino (Dom Passantino), Tuesday, 18 July 2006 22:05 (nineteen years ago)

I am not able to hate journalists because of what they like, I am a lot more likely to hate them because of what they dislike.

Thus, any backclash against Britpop special will be the worst thing ever.

― Geir Hongro (GeirHong), Tuesday, 18 July 2006 22:47 (nineteen years ago)

I've got this idea in my head that the NME office is like a combination of Press Gang, The Daily Planet and Fagin's den from Oliver Twist.

― badg (badg), Tuesday, 18 July 2006 23:13 (nineteen years ago)

that sounds too good.

I think it's a combination of New Labour PR department, the Feltham Young Offenders Institution, and a hair salon.

― Major Alfonso (Major Alfonso), Tuesday, 18 July 2006 23:17 (nineteen years ago)

Had a look at this at Tesco at lunchtime. It was OK and I'm quite surprised that they bothered at all. They reprint some Nick Kent article on Syd that I couldn't be bothered to read bcz I don't like him.

Alan McGee says, "He was the original punk rocker." Does he never tire of fatuous wrongess?

― Raw Patrick (Raw Patrick), Wednesday, 19 July 2006 12:21 (nineteen years ago)

Syd's about the 14th "original punk rocker" that the ginger millionaire has cited in the last ten years.

― Venga (Venga), Wednesday, 19 July 2006 12:36 (nineteen years ago)

Other "Original punk rockers" that AMc has cited:

Kevin Rowland, bosoms can't be bothered ..

Silly Alan McGee, everybody knows that Joyce Grenfell was the original punk rocker:

Christ, damned if they do, damned if they don't. Would it be better if they *hadn't* made a big deal?

I don't read the NME any more because there are other places I like to read about music these days. However, it's like TOTP and, dare I say it, John Peel. Not as good as it used to be, or just not as relevant to me, no real place for it in my world any more, but I'd be sad/will be sad/was sad* when it is/was* removed for good.

*delete as appropriate

― ailsa (ailsa), Wednesday, 19 July 2006 19:54 (nineteen years ago)

I felt like that when Melody Maker went. Although, from 87-97 it was the greatest music paper ever.

― Venga (Venga), Wednesday, 19 July 2006 20:01 (nineteen years ago)

i thought NME had wrote off Pete Doherty, so why is the talentless prat on the front cover again !

Oasis Again ! the key question: When are the going to break up - sunnnnnnshine

Indie-Rave ? The last time that term was used was The Shamen in 1992

New Music [More tuneless local indie tripe]: Larrikin Love, The Holloways !

― DJ Martian (djmartian), Tuesday, 25 July 2006 13:04 (nineteen years ago)

what album are they talking about re indie-rave?

― Konal Doddz (blueski), Tuesday, 25 July 2006 13:13 (nineteen years ago)

many nme readers were scarcely born when rave started.

― Roughage Crew (Enrique), Tuesday, 25 July 2006 13:15 (nineteen years ago)

I hope Pete says sorry to me for the three minutes I wasted listening to a fuck-awful Libertines song once before I deleted the fuck out of that shitty mp3.

― DJ Martian (djmartian), Tuesday, 25 July 2006 13:18 (nineteen years ago)

probably the beginning of a 6-month hype pre-release campaign for The Klaxons

― Matt DC (Matt DC), Tuesday, 25 July 2006 13:25 (nineteen years ago)

― Roughage Crew (Enrique), Tuesday, 25 July 2006 13:26 (nineteen years ago)

I think a bunch of ilxors should storm the NME office in a musical revolution and take over.

Whos with me?

Docherty isn't talentless although it is easier for you to think he is so he can represent.... spomething, for you.

― jed_ (jed), Tuesday, 25 July 2006 13:36 (nineteen years ago)

You're right. He's clearly supremely talented... at getting himself in the papers.

Did you hear that tuneless drivel of a single he released last year?

If MM was still with us, Doherty would abused by Mr Agreeable every week !

― DJ Martian (djmartian), Tuesday, 25 July 2006 13:40 (nineteen years ago)

Indeed. I too would like this constant wave of Jack Docherty-bashing to stop.
