Title: gossip Post by: lebowski on Monday, January 29, 2007, 19:56:46 this is that band with the fat lesbian singer as a unique selling point, but their album "standing in the way of control" really is very good. anyone else got it?
well impressed. Title: gossip Post by: Spud on Monday, January 29, 2007, 20:12:59 Yes i downloaded it the other week and i will agree that the album is top notch. 8)

http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/thumb/6/6a/StandingInTheWayOfControl.jpg/600px-StandingInTheWayOfControl.jpg It's such a pathetic attempt at a weak political statement that it's fucking laughable. Title: gossip Post by: Leggett on Monday, January 29, 2007, 21:14:25 and they're gash too.

Good album, some great tunes on there. Wish we could have the 'Sound & Vision' forum back :boohoo: Title: gossip Post by: Arriba on Tuesday, January 30, 2007, 00:04:44 i was on about this band last night.i like them
Title: gossip Post by: Leggett on Tuesday, January 30, 2007, 00:34:33 the dude on the right of the album cover is actually a bird iirc???
Title: gossip Post by: sonic youth on Tuesday, January 30, 2007, 00:44:24 yep.
Title: gossip Post by: Spud on Tuesday, January 30, 2007, 05:52:59 Quote from: "Leggett" and they're gash too. I suggest you listen to the gash you've got on your myspace page laddy. Title: gossip Post by: larwood on Tuesday, January 30, 2007, 08:25:07 I like them too 8) Beth Ditto has an amazing voice.Haven't got the album yet though.
The fact that Leggett dislikes them just confirms they are a good band :P Title: gossip Post by: Nomoreheroes on Wednesday, January 31, 2007, 02:44:09 Tried this today. The lead singer has a very strong and pleasant voice. The first couple of tracks sounded promising, but I felt that the songs overall were pretty weak. The album as a whole sounded like 'pub rock' demos to me. However, this was all on first listening. Will give it another try at some point.
NMH P.S. Trying the following now: Muse - Black Holes & Revalations (First listen to 1st track - Sounds like Queen- NOT GOOD ! :evil: ) Bloc Party - A Weekend In The City (Tried 1st 2 tracks. Not as good as Silent Alarm so far) Clap Your Hands Say Yeah - Some Loud Thunder (Not impressed with title track) Cooper Temple Clause - Make This Your Own (Not heard enough to have an opinion yet) The Good The Bad & The Queen - The Good The Bad & The Queen (Not a Daman Alban fan. Sounds a bit better on 2nd listen) Title: gossip Post by: Ben Wah Balls on Wednesday, January 31, 2007, 03:04:11 Quote from: "Nomoreheroes" Tried this today.

Cooper temple clause's new stuff is up there with the first album. Title: gossip Post by: Nomoreheroes on Wednesday, January 31, 2007, 03:35:19 Just listening for the first time. I like the bassline on Satan Says Dance very much but am not keen on the abstract sounds added to the track. Also, the singer's voice is bloody awful !
I'm afraid I can't see this album getting much airtime near me ! NMH Title: gossip Post by: Nomoreheroes on Wednesday, January 31, 2007, 03:39:45 Quote from: "Nomoreheroes" Just listening for the first time.

I'm afraid I can't see this album getting much airtime near me ! NMH I've just scan listened to the rest of the album - Christ its awful ! Underwater (You & Me) is the only other listenable song. The rest is weird shite imho ! NMH Title: gossip Post by: Leggett on Wednesday, January 31, 2007, 12:50:08 i read an interview with the lead singer bird of the gossip, she made way too much of the fact people dislike her because she's fat and a lesbian, as if she's trying to get your sympathy vote. just annoyed me, alot. the music's not terrible, its just not my cup of tea.
the new bloc party album is quite good, not as good as silent alarm, but still a good listen!!! p.s cooper temple clause deserve aids. Title: gossip Post by: Scot Munroe on Wednesday, January 31, 2007, 13:16:11 Quote from: "Leggett" the new bloc party album is quite good, not as good as silent alarm, but still a good listen!!! They were on Zane Lowe Last nite and it was pretty good. I do like their new single. I also like the Klaxons new song Golden Skans. Title: gossip Post by: Iffy's Onion Bhaji on Wednesday, January 31, 2007, 13:35:32 Bloc Party are ace 8) Silent alarm was a great album by all accounts. the new one will have to be good to live up to that but im confident (having heard their new single) that it will be!
i have no time for the view though! they are a band i really hate! i know that has nothing to do with this thread but just thought id say it :D Title: gossip Post by: sonic youth on Wednesday, January 31, 2007, 16:37:24 Beth Ditto's got a fantastic voice. The problem is that the band are just a bit shit.
The Good, The Bad, The Queen's album is pretty good, not amazing but it's a proper album, not just a bunch of catchy tunes or singles thrown together. And it was produced by Dangermouse.

http://image.guardian.co.uk/sys-images/Arts/Arts_/Pictures/2007/01/25/TheShins.jpg "wincing the night away" by the shins. officially catchier than man flu. http://image.guardian.co.uk/sys-images/Music/Pix/pictures/2007/01/04/candylion.jpg "candylion" by gruff rhys (super furries front man) - every bit as lovely as i thought it would be. features a 14 minute epic about a very eventful transatlantic flight (though it does sound a bit like the velvet underground's sister ray...) Title: gossip Post by: Fred Elliot on Wednesday, January 31, 2007, 18:20:43 I like the sound of both of those 8)
Title: gossip Post by: Spud on Thursday, February 1, 2007, 06:02:23 Ive had 'The Shins' for a couple of weeks now and still haven't got round to listening to it yet, i do like one of their songs that gets played alot on MTV2 though.
