ahhhh chelsea's pain is soooo sweet!! and players like Anelka should be wiped out of the game. dives like the one he pulled today give football a bad name. bring on barca v man utd final!!!

18 songs by a band like wolfmother would mean a double album and i highly doubt that is their intention otherwise he would of said that by now. but then again anything is possible but right now i'm taking andrews word over wikipedia. http://www.rollingstone.com/rockdaily/index.php/2009/05/04/wolfmother-introduce-us-to-new-songs-lineup-at-la-museum/ a review of a show the band did last night.

^^ how about nobody cares!! if anyone is interested triple j have put up 2 songs from the concert she did in their sydney studios are couple of months ago. the entire performance was acoustic and personally i thought she was wonderful. she doesnt have the most brilliant voice (and she admits it) so it was brave of her to do an acoustic performance in front of 50 people and broadcast live on radio.

i'm very grateful that man utd got those 2 early goals which allowed me to go back to bed and get a couple more hours of sleep. but lets hope tomorrow morning is much closer. if its a man utd v barca final then we're guaranteed an epic game. i don't think we can expect the same if it ends up being against chelsea (that fa cup final is still on my mind, 90mins of my life i will never get back) but first barca have to get past chelsea at stamford bridge and we all know of chelsea's record at home.

Q1 Fleet Foxes - fleet foxes vs Beatles - sgt. peppers lonely hearts club band Q2 Sigur Ros - Takk... v Muse- Origin of Symmetry Q3 Radiohead- Kid A v radiohead - in rainbows Q4 Coldplay - A rush of blood to the head v Radiohead-Ok Computer

i hope you are all picking the band you would rather be a member of not the band you prefer listening to. i'm very much torn between the two. both bands have had a massive impact on music and have been very very successful. so it really goes down to which band would of been cooler to be around. the stones are one of the best live acts ever and have been so consistently for over 40years whereas the beatles hardly spent 5years on the road before they locked themselves into Abbey Road. but at the same time it would of been amazing to have been in the studios when the Beatles were making those classic albums.

well not all 17 will make their way onto the album. they will most probably have 12 on the album and the remainder as B-sides

On their latest album Metric's lead singer Emily Haine asks us the question "Who Would You Rather Be, The Beatles or the Rolling Stones??". now in the context of the song its not asking which band do u prefer listening to, rather which band would u like to have been a part of. actually she's not asking either question but for the sake of this thread lets assume she is. i can't decide which i would prefer. its pretty much the most influential band of all time vs the biggest band of all time.

^^ as obsessed as i am with jack white i haven't had the chance to listen to his work with Loretta Lynn. is it any good? where would the ractonteurs albums feature in that list of best white stripes albums?

i heard about half of the album on the radio this past weekend. sounds pretty awesome!! would make for great studying music, reminded me a little of Air actually

that interview with stockdale was sooo random. triple j just decided to call up the studios where wolfmother were recording and asked if they could speak to stockdale. and since triple j played a massive part in making the band so incredibly successful he happily obliged. i expected a very safe diplomatic interview from him but instead he blurted out all these things about the new album. he also spoke about the recording process. they have completed 5 songs (at the time of the interview) and plan to record 17 in total which should be done by june. they will then go to the london studios of their producer to finish mixing the record. VERY EXCITING!!

fleet foxes v sgt peppers an album that was and still is basically unknown to most people against the album that many argue is the greatest of all time and has gone 11x platinum. a little bit unfair but good on Fleet Foxes. briggins our plan is working!!! mwwwuhahhahahaha

they need to get away from P Diddy. he is EVIL!!! EVIL I TELL YOU!!

has anyone seen YYY live?

yeah thats right. other highlights include I'm Bound To Pack It Up and Truth Doesnt Make A Noise. there's some great acoustic work on this album. i really like it how he is always evolving his sound, never gets boring with jack white around.

had a quiet saturday night at home so like always lined up 5 albums to fill the night. 1. Placebo - Once More With Feelings 2. Death Cab For Cutie - Transatlanticism 3. Chemical Brothers - Surrender (dinner - Muse live @ V festival 2008) 4. Bat For Lashes - Two Suns 5. Radiohead - Amnesiac

^^ haha. maybe in the context of this so called "concept' album it might make more sense. and God bless Rage!! its a dream of mine to one day(night) programme an episode of Rage.

i highly recommend De Stilj. its a very easy listen!!

^^ i'm assuming you're being serious. the new album is called It's Blitz. lead single is called Zero and i'm sure the next will be Heads Will Roll and there's a great song called Runaway [ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TGxBTsmuRIk]YouTube - Yeah Yeah Yeahs - Zero[/ame] [ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gDkc40AD_lo]YouTube - Heads Will Roll[/ame] [ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-QqArc12juQ]YouTube - Runaway - Yeah Yeah Yeahs[/ame]

my fave album of the year so far :)

i finally got around to downloading Muse @ V festival 2008 in HD quality. it looks and sounds amazing with all the great effects and crowd chanting along. sadly its only 3 songs and an interview and missing Death Star.

why are we back on this again?? am i the only person on this forum who has heard most of the white stripes work? if not i would love to know what people put as their fave album. 1. Elephant 2. Icky Thump 3. De Stilj 4.White Blood Cells 5. Get Behind Me Satan 6. White Stripes

BRAIN MOLKO GREW HIS HAIR!! LONG!! REALLY LONG!!! i love the song and annoyed at the negative reaction to it. its a much more mature sounding placebo and i'm really looking forward to this upcoming record. but the little mario kart bit is an epic fail.

now the other reason i had for why theres sooo much negativity towards this era of music was the dominance of alternative bands. the best 'rock' bands seem to mix their sound in with another genres. you look back at the 60s and 70s and rock bands were well...........rock bands. guitar vocals bass and drums and maybe keys making regular straight out rock n roll. 21st century bands tend to more often than not combine their rock sound with electronics or heavy strings or maybe some rapping or wild screaming. alot of people fall in love with a band because they have such a great rock sound then when they go deeper into their catalogue they discover that they have a range of other sounds that they dont quite like. take muse for example, great band great musicians but they have this whole space rock thing going with heavy effects and synthesisers which im sure turns alot of pure rock fans away. bloc party are very similar in that sense. arctic monkeys have a great rock n roll sound but their almost spoken lyrics i'm sure has turned off alot of people. like i said before music is just as good now as it was 30-40yrs ago. its the 21st century music fan thats has changed. meaningless disposable tunes are the order of the day and will remain that way for a very long time. the attitudes of alot of music fans are quite irritating and that possibly is turning people away also.

get this thread going once more so far its been a more than decent year in music Its Blitz - Yeah Yeah Yeahs Kingdom of Rust - Doves Two Suns - Bat For Lashes Fantasies - Metric Sunspot Letters - Leader Cheetah Merriweather Post Pavilion - Animal Collective
