Bands on MTV2

[EFM The Firm, The Voice]

Right due to MTV2's satuation policy I really love the follwing 3 songs that I've heard a few times now, any info on the bands or release dates would be great!

 

Reason is Treason - Kasabian

The Rat - The Walkmen

In the Shadows - The Rasmus

 

The Walkmen single is particually good, one of the best I've heard for a long time!

[Zagreus]

Not sure about those bands, but I'm looking forward to the "Young Heart Attack" album. It's out on Monday and you can get it from Amazon for only 7.99. Bargin. Plus, "The Streets" new single is a grower too - love the video!

[Northern Monkey]

The Rasmus

from album- Dead Letters

my daughter has it, so I reckon they are popular among 15-17 year olds

I hate that Rasmus song! I dunno, maybe it's a grower. It just sounds like such a 'typical' rock song if you know what I mean. Nu-metal by numbers!

 

Anyway, I bought the Stellastar* album today and it's currently rocking my world big-stylee!

[Claire!]

ooooooh!!!!!!!

 

I bought Alecia Key's album today!!!!!!!!!!

[EFM The Firm, The Voice]

Well you can't join in this conversation then Claire!

[EFM The Firm, The Voice]

Also from XFM last night

 

Formed a band - Art Brut (everyones banging on about these at the moment and I can see why they are pretty good - got single of the week in NME and Rolling Stone, good bet for next weeks Top 40 - funny thing is they are 2nd support at the Jimbob gig in May, fruitbat claims he discovered them)

This is for the poor - The Others!

[EFM The Firm, The Voice]

I realised I saw Art Brut last year supporting Abdoujaparov!

 

Anyway I'm in charge today so another day of MTV2, I'll post any tips for the top on here pop pickers!

 

Weird ... 40 mins and I haven't seen the Streets video yet

[EFM The Firm, The Voice]

Good songs so far:

 

Chocalate - Snow Patrol (I got a CD sent to me by this lot about 5yrs ago, they were pretty good then. Imagine my surpise when I saw thier last sinlge in the Top-tactic Top 10)

Undone: Sweater Song - Weezer (One of the only American bands you're allowed to like)

You will, You won't - Zutons (I have a feeling I may of brought this on Monday, I haven't looked in the bag yet)

 

And the new Cypress Hill single sounds like a 2nd rate boy band chrous with some very bad Cypress Hill rapping interlinked, they should give it up!

 

The Vines single is also good, I have a feeling I brought this a couple of weeks ago as well.

[YB941 5thD EFM ~soul~]

Hmmm... Snow Patrol. Well, yes I did like their last single "Run", but it did sound horribly like Coldplay's "The Scientist". Haven't heard "Chocolate" yet, but if it sounds anything like "Yellow", I'm leaving them well alone!

 

The Vines - good record.

I make a point of not listening to Coldplay so I possibly couldn't comment. However I did steal the first Coldplay album from a TV

[EFM's Librarian]

Why on earth did you go to the trouble of finding a transvestite to steal the coldplay album from?

[YB941 5thD EFM ~soul~]

You see, (whisper it quietly) I don't actually mind the first Coldplay album. Not that I ever listen to it now, but at the time, I quite enjoyed it.

 

However, I can't fking stand them now. I reckon David Gray and Dido are Coldplay's mum and dad.

 

Aarrrgh. I hate Coldplay. Why the fk do the music press champion them so much?

 

 

[EFM The Firm, The Voice]

(whisper it even quieter) but I actually quite like it as well!

 

My TV Coldplay story goes like this - I met a girl off a telephone chat line who lived in Norwood Junction in South London, she called me when I was out in the West End one Saturday night and suggested I may want to go to hers for a bit of hows yer father, on arrival about 1.30am very pissed and in possesion of a cowboy hat stolen from some Tex Mex resturant in Piccadilly Cirus she made her excuses and said she had to go as one of her kids were ill and promptly kicked me out. So it's 2.30am I'm in a South London suberb and there isn't a train until 7am, so while looking at the nighbus timetables I spot a "girl" across the road, I call her over and realising straight away "she wasn't a girl I tell "her" that I know her tits are fake and can I sleep on her floor. When I find her floor she puts on the Coldplay album and takes out some bizarre double-ended [***!!***] thing, I pass out, wake at 6.30am with a thumping headache, fortunatly not a thumping bottom. "She" left her phone number and I decided to nick the Coldplay album for "her" presuming that I was that way inclined.

I got to Norwood Junction station and a thameslink pulled up for a unschelduled stop (they must of known, train fellow in distress) I got on it and the story become stuff of ledgends!

Mate, you were SO shagged up the [****!!****]!!
