  1. Saw them at Northumbria Uni a few months back. Fucking brilliant would be the most apt term. yeah seriously. i kind of liked their album before i saw them live at all tommorows parties (curated by explosions in the sky)... and know i can't get enough of their shit. live they are
  2. battles - atlas people won't be people when they this sound
  3. i thought macs always worked.
  4. He doesn`t go missing in big games.................he`s simply marked more closely and by better players. Another myth dispelled. just like Ibrahimovic. and i've yet to see Ronaldo set a big game alight (Champions League Semi / Final or League vs. Top 4) while I have seen Ibrahimovic dominate big games (Roma away for Juve in 2005, Real Madrid away in 2006, Milan at home this season).
  5. he just goes as missing in big games as Ronaldo does.
  6. watch the whole of the Ibracadabra compilation on youtube (pt.1 - http://youtube.com/watch?v=g4GzhB40laM) how is that 'shit'. his goals - 32 in 52 games as said. that's ridiculous for a player who also grabs about 20 assists a season. how many Serie A games did you watch last season Torres?
  7. Meant to be shit. Never seen it though. dood see it. it's pretty sweet. some of the cinematography is stunning.
  8. the inzaghi comment is fucking ludicrous. he scored 10 goals in 6 games at the tail end of the Serie A season this year. how is that anything but world class? given he's been injured the rest of the season as well. his international record is also fantastic. nearly a goal every other game. trezeguet is a little fairer I feel. but still. he has a ridiculous goal scoring record in Serie A and only managed a measely 20 goals this season.
  9. Is that having also seen the original or not? I've not heard a good word from those that have. it's as good as the original. if not a little more polished. all the performances are better bar the father. and there are a few dialogue changes etc. recommended if you enjoyed the original.
  10. gerrard was useless tonight. he has to be dropped.
  11. red house painters - song for a blue guitar
  12. scott walker - farmer in the city probably the only song i've never skipped. ever.
  13. Class doesn't change no matter what era it may be. Standards just drop. But you like Arcade Fire? One of the most original bands out there nowadays. Win Butler may not be a fantastic singer but atleast he's writing brilliant music, unlike your mates Will or Chris. THEY ARE GOING TO BE ORIGINAL BECAUSE OTHER BANDS WOULDN'T HAVE THE BALLS TO RELEASE SUCH TRIPE Almost every music reviewer in the land disagrees with that And almost every music reviewer in the land would disagree with them being better than Coldplay Lets compare the bands two biggest selling albums http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/A_Rush_of_Blood_to_the_Head http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Funeral_(album) Good by Mr. Paltrow, but not good enough lets not bring arcade fire into here. not that great a band. riding on indie hype. etc. they are better than coldplay though. and you have to a be fucking idiot to say they are not critically lauded. Funeral has a Metacritic score of low 90s. http://www.metacritic.com/music/artists/ar...neral?q=funeral and x/y has a metacritic of 72... http://www.metacritic.com/music/artists/co...andy?q=coldplay so big thompers. explain how coldplay are more popular with critics based on this evidence.
  14. the thing is. even though all radiohead fans hate on coldplay. radiohead fan boys are just as bad if not worse than radiohead fan boys in their closed mindedness.
  15. Oh he a band now? no. but he's a musician and the two are mutually exclusive. i don't think people go 'oh i like bands but i don't like solo acts'. that's ridiculous. so they should be lumped together. Brian Eno is the most heard most musician on the planet. there is no doubt. either in his solo, group or production work.
  16. also if we're talking the artist who people have heard the most either in production or his own songs then Brian Eno would surely be the biggest.
  17. glad we made that distinction.
  18. who cares! popularity has never been and never will be indicative of quality.
  19. and muse are fucking awful. just as bad, if not worse, than coldplay.
