― DJ Martian (djmartian), Wednesday, 18 October 2006 08:54 (nineteen years ago)

haha they look like idiots.

Birmingham the new Yorkshire? have the NME found the new Arctic Monkeys for 2007?

Fratellis Explosion? someone threw a grenade at them?

New Pixies Album, but Frank Black already stated there wouldn't be a new album

How does conor mcnicholas achieve so much unintentional humour?

systems thinking

Didn't they do a "Grebo" cover once? That must be their worst cover ever. Or maybe one of those covers when they were mad about Nu Metal for about a couple of months in early 2001.

they forgot to mention oasis

"Emo is bullsh**t. We want to be the new Radiohead."

er...

Are all the Brummies proud to be the new Yorkshire then?

― Brigadier Lethbridge-Pfunkboy (Kerr), Wednesday, 18 October 2006 15:05 (nineteen years ago)

It's not the new Yorkshire, it's the new NEW YORKshire. Clever pun there DO YOU SEE. Or can you lot just not read?

So, er, they've found the new Strokes then. Hurrah.

The Birmingham indie scene is absolutely wretched. At least Yorkshire has Monkey Swallows the Universe and the first few Long Blondes singles.

i looked at this in the newsagent today - if comeone vomited on a sheet of paper it couldn't look any worse than this.

"At least Yorkshire has Monkey Swallows the Universe and the first few Long Blondes singles."

Which county owns their later ones?

oooh... i remember some old school lesson years ago, about how arranging words in this kinda fashion (duplicate word last on first line, and first on next line) tricks the brain into only seeing the word once.

panic! of the emo

― fade into goo (fandango), Wednesday, 18 October 2006 15:24 (nineteen years ago)

Maybe it was a great big front page typo and no-one noticed except me! I'm fucked if I'm reading the article to find out what they meant though.

― ailsa (ailsa), Wednesday, 18 October 2006 15:26 (nineteen years ago)

seems the strategy we can't beat kerrang so we'll join them

― secondhandnews (secondhandnews), Wednesday, 18 October 2006 15:31 (nineteen years ago)

NME Ireland launched this week.

Who are Humanzi ?

― DJ Martian (djmartian), Friday, 20 October 2006 13:25 (nineteen years ago)

DJ Martain failure to name band. systems thinking fails? Should plank martian resign from blogosphere be replaced by team of expert portsmouth based allmusic staff?

― acrobat (elwisty), Friday, 20 October 2006 13:48 (nineteen years ago)

more corporate rawk rubbish

ha NME = New Musical Emo

― DJ Martian (djmartian), Tuesday, 24 October 2006 14:50 (nineteen years ago)

"conquered the nation" ? that will be product marketing £8.79 at Woolies as heard on commercial radio

now that's what i call market research

― DJ Martian (djmartian), Tuesday, 24 October 2006 15:07 (nineteen years ago)

that list seems to indicate that putting emo on the cover isn't going to play well with the current readership

― pscott (elwisty), Tuesday, 24 October 2006 15:19 (nineteen years ago)

At least glam-emo breaks with the NMEs love of dull reality-principle-indie. Anything has to be better than Arctic Monkeys, Fratellis etc...

― gekoppel (Gekoppel), Tuesday, 24 October 2006 19:04 (nineteen years ago)

the royal we

― RJG (RJG), Tuesday, 24 October 2006 19:14 (nineteen years ago)

Only the NME could put the tagline "The week the world went black" under the whitest of white bands.

― The Real Esteban Buttez (EstieButtez1), Tuesday, 24 October 2006 19:43 (nineteen years ago)

The Royal We - good band in NME shockah! It's all downhill for them now I fear... ;)

― Stew (stew s), Wednesday, 25 October 2006 16:59 (nineteen years ago)

Furthermore, NEM writing about a good Glasgow band for a change shockah!
Their favoured Glasgow bands of late have been the horrid Fratellis and Dykeenies.

― Stew (stew s), Wednesday, 25 October 2006 17:01 (nineteen years ago)

er NME that is...

― Stew (stew s), Wednesday, 25 October 2006 17:36 (nineteen years ago)

Wait, I thought Panic at the Disco were emo... And who the fuck is Kasabian?

I'm an American— do I have to keep up with this shit or can I just wait until the next ejaculation hits the NME?

Can't they just focus on telling me whether rock is dead or alive?

― js (honestengine), Wednesday, 25 October 2006 18:38 (nineteen years ago)

Kasabian - they are unfortunately popular in the UK
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kasabian

they are well known for slating other bands on a regular basis

― DJ Martian (djmartian), Wednesday, 25 October 2006 18:46 (nineteen years ago)

what do you like in the uk top 40 dj m? albums or singles?

― pscott (elwisty), Wednesday, 25 October 2006 18:51 (nineteen years ago)

i was thinking about the shocking state of "mainstream music" the other week, i came to the conclusion that 2006 is the worst year for [album] chart / mainstream music in my lifetime *. [* well since 1980, i was too young to remember indepth the 70s]

as for singles chart i try to avoid daytime radio, but it's dismal: r n b trash / rap blink blink/ supermarket rock - radio 2 aor / NME tripe / Commercial US emo rawk related / watered down commercial dance / boy/ girl bands aimed at teenager girls

― DJ Martian (djmartian), Wednesday, 25 October 2006 19:13 (nineteen years ago)

The Momus spoof still wins this thread.

― You've Got Scourage On Your Breath (Haberdager), Wednesday, 25 October 2006 20:14 (nineteen years ago)

DJM OTM, more or less.

― Marcello Carlin (nostudium), Thursday, 26 October 2006 10:01 (nineteen years ago)

Marcello OTM about DJM being OTM.

DJM OTM, of course.

― The Real Esteban Buttez (EstieButtez1), Thursday, 26 October 2006 10:03 (nineteen years ago)

the solution is: don't care. what does i matter how bad the charts are? don't listen to the radio, there's already too much good current music to hear via other routes.

― jed_ (jed), Thursday, 26 October 2006 10:10 (nineteen years ago)

what does i matter

Are you Linton Kwesi Johnson?

― Marcello Carlin (nostudium), Thursday, 26 October 2006 10:22 (nineteen years ago)

aye aye.

― jed_ (jed), Thursday, 26 October 2006 10:29 (nineteen years ago)

Jacques Dutronc - Mini Mini Mini. S'in French though.

― braveclub (braveclub), Thursday, 26 October 2006 12:57 (nineteen years ago)

oops sorry wrong thread!

― braveclub (braveclub), Thursday, 26 October 2006 12:58 (nineteen years ago)

I was going to look for the Grebo cover from the early 90s (or was it late 80s?), but all Google was able to come up with was this:

Bono & Green Day - in 2006 who cares

Oasis vs Beatles - battle of trad songs rock

My Chemical Brothers - The Black Parade - What is means to you - tuneless tripe for moronic teenagers

Foo Fighters - Another Generic Rock Album, Grohl bores us again

Yeah Yeah Yeahs team up with NME failure fad band The Horrors

Fratellis - We love the Clash - they listen to daytime 6 Music
