[Colin Zeal EFM]

Will be purchasing Ocean Colour Scene and Tim Burgess.

 

I have a problem with the Thrills - to me they're just another Toploader.

 

 

[EFM's Librarian]

I have £60 of Virgin megastore vouchers to spend this morning, any suggestions?

[Colin Zeal EFM]

New SFA album is good.

 

Get a Janis Joplin compilation. And a Byrds one.

 

 

[EFM The Firm, The Voice]

I don't mind the Thrills too much and I [****!!****] hate Toploader!

 

Libro - I suggest you bring them vouchers over to me <img src="/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" />

Alternativly you couldn't go wrong with the Inspirals cool as complilation. aggreed Zeal?

[Colin Zeal EFM]

Yeah, although only disc one would be of use to those who want an introduction to Inspirals music. Disc two is for collectors only really.

 

Good Charlotte - have to say I really don't like nu-metal. <img src="/images/graemlins/frown.gif" alt="" />

 

 

[EFM The Firm, The Voice]

Neither do I, I just went a bit "kid in a candy shop" and brought anything slightly alternative. If Good Charlotte was the only release of the week I doubt it would of been brought!

Although I seem to remember it sounded alright

 

Wonder if they've managed to wash the piss out of their hair yet from Sundays Reading

 

Haven't Good Charlotte got something to do with Noel or Liam?

[Colin Zeal EFM]

Are you not thinking of Proud Mary, who are on Noel's label??

 

 

[EFM The Firm, The Voice]

yeah i was <img src="/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" />

Maybe thats why i brought it, I quite like Proud Mary <img src="/images/graemlins/confused.gif" alt="" />

[Boot CleanerEFM]

What about SEAN PAUL

[EFM The Firm, The Voice]

Right! Just gone totally off Good Charlotte after reading this from the Carter messageboard

 

Quote:

On Friday evening, Sony Music threatened that they would "shut down" popular independent music website drownedinsound.com, if they published an interview they conducted with punkpop band Good Charlotte.

 

One DiS writer, who we shall call 'M', attended the Kerrang! awards on Friday eve. He interviewed a few bands, and got to speak to Good Charlotte. He basically asked them the same questions he'd asked the other artists (The Darkness, Gary Numan, Winnebago Deal), the third of which was "define being a rock star". At this point the band 'threw a paddy' and the interview consisted of 30-seconds of them saying "teaspoon off, we're not answering that".

 

Sony then stole M's dictaphone and threatened to "shut down Drowned In Sound" if they ever printed any of the 'interview'. They also said "you're messing with the big boys now", and stole the interview tape, which is currently at Sony HQ in London.

 

If only Good Charlotte's fans knew what utter [***!!***] their idols were.

 

drownedinsound.com is one of the best music sites on the net. Giving honest reviews on music, promoting new bands and thankfully not being stuck up their own arses like the NME. They also hate Coldplay <img src="/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" />

..... and not too big fans of the Thrills either <img src="/images/graemlins/tongue.gif" alt="" />

[EFM The Firm, The Voice]

Another reason to dislike Good Charlotte

 

Quote:

Good Charlotte have become this year's Daphne & Celeste by being bottled off the stage at Reading festival.

Earlier today, the band had to cut their set short by 20-minutes as a stream of bottles were thrown at them by the crowd.

 

After getting so fed up with it and on the count of three, they got the crowd to throw them all at once. They then walked offstage and threw their toys out of the pram.

 

 

They seem like major moody tits!

I'm off to return my single to HMV <img src="/images/graemlins/mad.gif" alt="" />

[EFM's Librarian]

In the end I purchased

The Vines - Highly evolved - only £3.99

The Who - Ultimate collection double CD

The Polyphonic Spree - The beginning stages of... (including bonus tracks and live DVD)

The Doors - The Doors - Just because I don't own it and should

Elbow - Cast of Thousands.

 

Not bad for £40 - now which one shall I put on first?

[Colin Zeal EFM]

Not Elbow, who just make dull Coldplay/David Gray/Doves-type bore-rock.

 

Save The Who for lunchtime when I'm over.

 

 

[R Zimmerman]

don't give me that Zeal.

I notice you didn't get te new Jet single, that is a quality song. Saw them at Reading, brilliant.

[ESG]

the who and doors great stuff!

Where is that difficult 2nd album by Daphne & Celeste????
I've been waiting a couple of years now <img src="/images/graemlins/mad.gif" alt="" />

After me ..... U G L Y you ain't got no alibi ...

[EFM's Librarian]

Zeal is here and he says Daphne and Celeste are better than both Elbow and Good Charlotte.

 

Thorns, Daphne and Celeste - would you?

[Colin Zeal EFM]

I would, but it would have to be the both of them together.

 

Just listening to the OCS single now.

 

 

[Colin Zeal EFM]

What do you make of the Tim Burgess single, Thornsy?

 

Sounding good to me!!
