Los Campesinos

"I am not Bonnie Tyler/ And I am not Toni Braxton"

7. This Is How You Spell ‘HAHAHA, We Destroyed The Hopes And Dreams of A Generation of Faux-Romantics’

^^^What's really great about that track is that that is the chorus, it's not just a fucking instrumental they've slapped a great title on.

My copy has a track 12, called "2007 The Year Punk Broke (My Heart)"

Anyway, so yeah, 2008 album of the year.

I can't wait to listen to this, but as hungover as I am, I'm not sure my head will be able to stand it just yet.

I relented, it's as wonderful as I'd hoped.

guitars on this are great

sadly, much as when live, this is boringly samey. you can interchange vocal lines between most of their songs.

when seen live

I was really hoping they'd have some new tricks up their sleeve for the lp. sadly not.

guys this album is so good

Anyway, so yeah, 2008 album of the year.

^would agree w/ this if not for hot chip

This album is great. I just can't wait to hear the mastered version.

so you think is an early leak?

the only two weak songs on here are 'knee deep at atp' and 'this is how you spell hahaha'. everything else is great. love how it's sequenced, too.

worst album cover of 2008 for sure

"I cherish, in fondness, the day before I met you" is such a great line.

My favourite on the album is "If you catch me with my hands in the till, I promise SUGAH I wasn't trying to steal"

this is the best album of 1998

makes me want to kill

The correct line is 'god help us if there's a war' but 'makes me want to kill' will do.

Still pretending to like Busted, eh?

Would have been shit in 1998 as well.

Hepburn represent!

This album is awful.

Dom--M S T U have reformed.

Seriously?

This album is brilliant and you all have taste in your arse - 3000 posts to follow.

haha at this whole thread

"I never got my ears pierced, and look how I turned out"

liveblog: im listening to 'We Throw Parties, You Throw Knives' on youtube.

the male vocalist in the verses... ah, are all their songs like this?

except for him, it isn't noticeably worse than other indie records that i have heard.

oh shit though the male vocalist just came back in. gotdamn, dom.

Seriously?

They went 'on hiatus' so N@t could get rid of the people she didn't like. Now they are back.

ok, 'You! Me! Dancing!'

intro much? but at least no vocals yet. i can imagine this going down well in an indie nightclub -- not a recommendation. this is like that curtis thread about bands who use loads of instruments at once -- that tinkly thing yo.

ok fuck this the vocalist is just.... dnw dnw dnw

Would this be the same "people" who in an interview I did with them declared a dislike of... I've said too much.

Also you are all missing the most important factor which is that THE DUDE SINGER LOOKS LIKE GRAHAM.

A 9/10? With the reviewer fighting the impulse to give it 10/10?

What am I missing with this band?

I mean, it's only one review, obv., but the disc is getting pretty good reviews overall, and I just don't get it.

It's you! It's me! And there's dancing!

Yes it's twee indie rock/pop but it's done very well. Love this song.

Four sweaty boys with guitars tell me NOTHING about my life

this lyric always makes me think about the lex

So many threads this could go on....

Are you fucking listening, Pitchfork’s [nabisco] [.]?

He only said "white" three times. Disappointing.

But he said paedo upwards of 600.

loooooooooool musical politics

Stars Of Track & Field >>>> The Drugs Don't Work.

It's true though, everyone who likes this band is actually a paedo. No exceptions.

I had a really good zing I was gonna write here, but I'd get a pissy facebook message if I did.

Reissues of HONY and WABWAD out in Oct to celebrate the glorious anniversary!

On Saturday October 13th we’ll be playing our biggest ever UK headline show at the O2 Forum, London. MISERABILIA, as we’re calling it, will be unlike any Los Camp! gig before as we’ll be playing two sets, supporting ourselves.

The first set will be made up solely of songs from the above mentioned albums (plus maybe some other tracks from the time…) and then once we’ve towelled down and sprayed on some deodorant we’ll be back out on stage again to play another set, made up of the rest of our catalogue from the past decade of being the UK’s premiere DIY/punk/emo (delete as applicable) band.

😻

picked up a ticket, may be US shows as well:

We're really excited that you're excited, thank you.

AMERICANS - please don't do anything rash and fly over like you say you're going to. We're looking into the affordability of/getting the time off work for US shows. We'll keep you posted...

greatest to ever do it

Thanks for the setlist, was also there and it was fantastic.

Goosebumps when they played “...Sooner State”.

holy shit

my only suggestion is they should always play “the low”

the low and in medias res would have been welcome but honestly the best show i've ever been to.

also great was the scalper outside kentish town tube station trying to sell tickets to the peasants

I was impressed the show was a big enough deal to have bootleg t-shirts on sale outside.

We were discussing it after and despite playing for about 2.5 hrs there were still at least half a dozen big tunes left out.

for once in my life i can say i have valentine's day plans

To celebrate the 10 year anniversary of our third album, ‘Romance Is Boring’ we will be repressing the sold-out album on vinyl, plus playing a lusty double header of shows in London, on Valentine’s Weekend 2020

You can pre-order your remastered copy of Romance Is Boring on gatefold gold vinyl now, as well as getting hold of it's companion, the ‘All’s Well That Ends’ EP. ‘All’s Well That Ends’ is limited to just 500 copies on 10” vinyl and features brand new artwork by LC!’s own R N Taylor. All pre-orders come with a Valentine’s Card signed by the band.

Also up for grabs is ‘Romance Is Boring: an Oral History’ — an extensive ‘zine featuring conversations with Los Campesinos! members past and present over the last decade, as well as exclusive photographs and illustrations.

furloughed as of this morning so have been sat here ranking their songs
