Yeah, I do. I'll link you tomorrow, OK?

http://www.myspace.com/thisisbattle http://www.thisisbattle.com Excellent band, they've released one mini-album, "Back To Earth" and their first proper album, "Break the Banks" was released last Monday, September 3rd, featuring the singles "The Longest Time" and "Paper Street". It got 4/10 in the NME (which counts for shit basically). Standout tracks: the two singles, "North Sea", "Looking for Bullets" and "Sit With Me". Anyone else a fan? Oh and no this wasn't already in the band index.

I'm getting an iPod classic soon. Old 30gig video that I had my eye on for a while: €249 New 80gig classic that would give me more than enough space to fit my music collection on, plus audiobooks, podcasts and videos: €249. Brilliant price. :D

Oooooops, didn't see this. Meh. I was surprised that the NME give it a 6/10. I thought they didn't like that kind of stuff (apart from Coldplay). The NME is a joke nowadays.

Brilliant band. Their album, "Fractured Life" is out now on CD, download and 12". Their next single is "No More Running Away", which will be released late next month.

I laughed at that too. Still buying them though.

I'm going by Irish release dates here, if that's fine. 1. Editors - An End Has A Start (June 22) 2. Biffy Clyro - Puzzle (June 1) 3. Bloc Party - A Weekend in the City (February 2) 4. Arctic Monkeys - Favourite Worst Nightmare (April 20) 5. Air Traffic - Fractured Life (June 29) 6. The Cribs - Men's Needs, Women's Needs, Whatever (May 18) 7. Manic Street Preachers - Send Away The Tigers (May 5) 8. The White Stripes - Icky Thump (June 15) 9. Arcade Fire - Neon Bible (March 2) 10. The Pigeon Detectives - Wait For Me (May 25)

Biffy Clyro EDITORS (NEW ALBUM IN THE POST IN 12 DAYS! :D)

What the fuck!? I just heard it's been confirmed, although Debs says it ain't out this year. Give us something concrete!

Snow Patrol (if you hadn't gotten this by now...) Radiohead (End of)

I haven't gotten bottled for voting SP ...yet.

Lies. Snow Patrol Arcade Fire *gets bottled in face* :laugh3:

Interpol - Obstacle 1.

'Mon the Patrol! :D Radiohead for second place, then Arcade Fire, then Sigur Rós. It'll be tight.

*small bump* Just discovered them recently (bought Send Away the Tigers at the weekend) and I really like what I'm hearing. Standout tracks from ...Tigers would be: Send Away the Tigers Your Love Alone Is Not Enough Second Great Depression Autumnsong Imperial Bodybags The rest is pretty good too.

Hi. What more is there to Stars of Track and Field besides: Centuries Before Love and War Stars of Track and Field EP You Came Here For Sunset Last Year ? I have all that, and I'm loving the sound. :)

Anyone like a http://www.libble.com invite? I have 5 to give away at the moment. :) PM me if you want one. A good sized music collection is essential. If you do get invited, use the search function before uploading anything. You must know how to create, upload and seed torrents. I would recommend uTorrent. Reding the rules is extremely important. Easier to become a Power User (Upload 5GB vs OiNK's 10GB) Staff aren't a bunch of uptight obnoxious idiots. You get a second chance i.e you do not get temp banned if you break a rule first time e.g uploading a transcode. The offer's out there.

Arcade Fire Snow Patrol (what did you think I was going to do?) Radiohead Keane

Editors - Smokers Outside the Hospital Doors. It is amazing. End of.

1 Arctic Monkeys vs. Elbow Haven't really gotten into Elbow, and the new AM record is amazing, so... 2 The Beatles vs. Dashboard Confessional Don't really listen to either, but the Beatles are legends. 3 Sigur Rós vs. REM I don't like REM. 'Nuff said. 4 Arcade Fire vs. Explosions In The Sky Arcade Fire are AMAZING, plus I don't know that other lot are. :P 5 Death Cab For Cutie vs. We Are Scientists What I have heard of We Are Scientists, I like. 6 Radiohead vs. The Clash This will be a Blow Out (Bad pun :laugh3:) 7 Blur vs. The Killers I haven't heard any Blur. 8 U2 vs. The Libertines Haven't heard any Libs..yet. Also, why else do you think I picked U2? Go figure. :P 9 The Strokes vs. Maximo Park I like some Strokes now and then. 10 British Sea Power vs. Bright Eyes Haven't heard any BSP. Anyway, Cassadaga is a brilliant album. 11 Oasis vs. The Smiths Just because. 12 Muse vs. Stereophonics Don't think I need to explain this. 13 Keane vs. Ben Folds Keane: just better. 14 Red Hot Chili Peppers vs. Interpol Because Untitled is a tune. Plus Banks can sing. 15 Mew vs. Nick Drake Haven't heard any Nick Drake. Mew are good though. 16 Bloc Party vs. Snow Patrol Why must you do this to me!?!? Snow Patrol, by quite a distance, if only because I've seen them live. Twice. :cool:

Killing in the Name (I've only heard that) Director

Absolution may well be the easiest to get into, but in my opinion, you should work backwards. BH&R: Mashup of styles, sometimes nodding towards Absolution, sometimes veering off in new directions. Absolution: In most cases, a continuation of the heavierness found in Origin of Symmetry. Origin of Symmetry: Revealed a different, harder, less piano-based Muse. If you like, it was a complete reinvention. Showbiz: Can't really describe this, as I haven't listened to it much. Martin's Recommendations BH&R: Map of the Problematique, Assassin (if you can, get the Grand Omega Bosses edit), Starlight, Supermassive Black Hole, Knights of Cydonia. Absolution: I would actually recommend the whole album, but in particular: Apocalyspe Please, Stockholm Syndrome, Hysteria, .utterflies & Hurricanes, TSP (The Small Print), Thoughts of a Dying Atheist) Origin of Symmetry: New Born, Bliss, Hyper Music, Citizen Erased, Darkshines, Feeling Good, Micro Cuts. Showbiz: Sunburn, Muscle Museum, Filip, Cave, Showbiz, Uno, Unintended. There you go. :cool:
