Razorlight - no more albums?

by Mike Diver
Artists: Razorlight
As previously reported on DiS's radio station of the year, BBC 6...

Razorlight loudmouth Johnny Borrell - he of inflated ego but slim hips - has stated that the band might not make another album to follow up Up All Night. Oh please God...

Apparently unsatisfied with the conventional album-tour-album-tour set up, Borrell's keen to explore alternative ways of getting his music to the people, such as downloadable releases and EPs.

The band have been writing new songs, and recorded a track called 'Kirby's Dream' (remember the Nintendo game?) on a recent trip to the US-of-A that may or may not see the light of day in the near future. "It sounds like a George Harrison song," offered Borrell.

What? Like a steaming bag of shit?

Anyway, rest assured that should the band actually call time on pushing their wares through Woolies et al, we'll let you know...


Razorlight - no more albums?

what a load of tittle-tattle. course they'll make another album, stop looking for attention Johnny Yousmell..

Razorlight - no more albums?

The only reason the record got in Woolies was cos it was priced at like £2.50.

Johnny wouldn't made very much money out of that, so nto surprising he ain't in a rush to repeat the 'success'.

Razorlight - no more albums?

hehe Michael you are a card. I do not believe in Razorlight, I think they are the opium of the masses. Ooh, look at me, being all clever.

Razorlight - no more albums?

You leave George Harrison alone!

Razorlight - no more albums?

he always has to have something to say doesnt he. prick.

Re: Razorlight - no more albums?

Michael Diver's constant sniping at bands in news articles is wearing very, very thing. I suggest he dies or something ...

Re: Razorlight - no more albums?

obviously that should say 'thin' rather than 'thing'

Re: Razorlight - no more albums?

i think mr divers a pisser. how boring do you pair sound!

Re: Razorlight - no more albums?

Michael Diver rocks
you, on the other hand
smell of second-hand
wee

Razorlight - no more albums?

If you mean Michael has something to say, then yes he is a prick. Johnny Borrell is a wanker we all know but Razorlight - like it or not - have produced one of MY favorite albums of this year. Of course, this is my opinion, you may hate them. But as I said before: If you don't like them DONT FUCKING BUY THE EPS, ALBUMS OR GO TO THE GIGS. Fuckasses.

Re: Razorlight - no more albums?

This story sounds like rubbish and the writer could have written it without the sniping.

Re: Razorlight - no more albums?

where's the fun in that??

best christmas present yet, 3 more singles and then caput!

Re: Razorlight - no more albums?

the sniping is one of the best things about DIS.

if all you want are brown nosing comments, why not just look on the NME website.

razorlight are dogshit, accept it.

Re: Razorlight - no more albums?

Erm no I won't be doing what you tell me. I'm not your bitch. i was calling for decent journalism, at the very least less of the schoolboy tittering and immaturity you appear to be an expert in.

Re: Razorlight - no more albums?

I disagree. He's simply calling a fish a fish. If you want a "Razorlight in 'no more albums' shock!"-type report, go read the NME website, in all it's personality-less glory.

Re: Razorlight - no more albums?

Would decent journalism require a decent journalist?
;o)

Re: Razorlight - no more albums?

errr
what would be decent journalistic reporting here?
something with no opinion?
where's the fun in that?
you big
prude

Re: Razorlight - no more albums?

whats a fuckass....?

hehe

Razorlight - no more albums?

I'm sure The Strokes said something similar as did The Libertines....here's to hoping that cock sucker will crawl back under a squat

Razorlight - no more albums?

Any way which would mean I have to hear them less is what I encourage Razorlight to do...

Razorlight - no more albums?

And i give you Mike Diver - Twat of the yearrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Re: Razorlight - no more albums?

Thanks dude/s.

It means a lot to me that you guys take the time to post your opinions about me, both in a personal and professional sense, whilst overlooking your own careers, be they in educational or correctional facilities or some secondary school in Slough. Really, when I think of you thinking of me instead of furthering your own existences in some way or other, I weep tears of unprecedented joy.

Thanks to you all, from the bottom of my blackened, decayed heart. And here's to 2005 - may inane internet board banter continue through another 12 months.

Happy fucking Christmas, you beautiful freaks.

Re: Razorlight - no more albums?

Thank you mister Diver, all those comments were directed at me and for that i salute you. You love me, i know, there is no need to hide it, because of my insults you feel for once you are important in the world apart from this shite internet site. Just take it easy over the christmas period, it can be a lonely time for wierdo's like you,

take it easy you poor son of a bitch.

Re: Razorlight - no more albums?

Oh my god.

This is the single best Diver post ever.

Razorlight - no more albums?

Mike, the content of your pieces needs to improve a bit. Too much gossip and speculation, not enough news.

Re: Razorlight - no more albums?

actually an intelligent criticism
first one so far

Razorlight - no more albums?

i like mr. diver's articles.
i think they're funny, insightful and make an interesting story out of something quite shit (eg. johnny borrell and his ego).
good on you, sir.

Razorlight - no more albums?

DIE RAZORLIGHT DIE!

Re: Razorlight - no more albums?

The record label unfortunately require them to release more albums.

Re: Razorlight - no more albums?

So therefore, if the boy is as good as his word, they'll be dropped by their label. Result.

Razorlight - no more albums?

Here's hoping....

Razorlight - no more albums?

Oh god - Razorshite (yes it's a bit schoolboy, but the truth hurts) -Golden Touch was OK - Ok in that i wouldn't want to commit a warcrime (again) when i heard it - but the rest, well, it's best i don't say - i've pissed off enough people today -

DIVER FOR PRESIDENT!!!!

Razorlight - no more albums?

They clearly will release another album.
Attention seeker. Tis all he is.

Razorlight - no more albums?

i like mr diver;s articles's becuz at least you have to make your own opinion afterwards, unlike so much superlative or staid music writing of recent memory. At least there's some humour...A-B-C music writing is so tedious

Razorlight - no more albums?

*in a very jerry springer fasion*

Go Michael, Go Michael.

i quite enjoy reading what mike writes, and he has the decency to email back. :)
cheers!

oh yeah, i quite like what razorlight have put out, but borell does talk some stupid shite.

Razorlight - no more albums?

Mike was a diver and he was always down.

Re: Razorlight - no more albums?

ah I see what you've done there. cheeky scamp.

MD is quite good. He can be a bit irritating sometimes, but even your own friends can irritate you. Not that hes my friend, I mean, I don't even know the guy. Well, maybe I've met him or passed him on the street without realising it, but whos to say? And if you rub a cat backwards, can you create electricity? Questions questions

Re: Razorlight - no more albums?

i generally like MD but the comment about george harrison was not very well received. but yeah, golden touch was ok, the rest of their stuff is almost as boring as the stereophonics. ok, maybe that was a bit harsh. but jonny borrell is just an egotistical wank who should get a sense of perspective.

Razorlight - no more albums?

Razorlight suck and Johnny Borrell is a pretentious wanker.

Re: Razorlight - no more albums?

aw, bless ol' johnny he just cant stop talking complete nonsense. when will he learn? bless him

Razorlight - no more albums?

hilarious. I like all this shit it passes the day so nicely!

At the end of the day though, I have a few observations to make:

1. Razorlight, for all the rubbish people spout about em being shite and whatnot, are the most successfull thing to appear in a long time. Like it or lump it, they've got lots of fans, and unlike Busted et al, most of em aren't screaming 8 year olds who watch Top of the Pops. I think Razorlight are great.

2. You can't really stick up for Mr. Diver's right to say what he wants, whilst calling Mr. Borrell all the names under the sun for saying what HE wants, can ya!? Fair play to em both, I say.
If Jonny has sold millions of albums by being a twat and saying controversial things, then he's a cleverer man than you or me, cos we're the unknowns who spend our days on websites like this moanong about him while trying to earn a penny. He's not, you see.

Razorlight - no more albums?

Since when did "good journalism" consist of not expressing an opinion? I am of course biased because my taste coincides somewhat with Mr. Diver's (except for not being very excited with the new DEP album). That's why I'm on this site. If you like Razorlight and don't want to hear them slated, WHY ARE YOU HERE? Read the NME.

P.S. I hate Razorlight because its cool and I'm man enough to admit it.

Razorlight - no more albums?

sold millions of albums? jumping the gun slightly aren't we? and i slagged borrell for being an arrogant wank, not because he was putting across his views like mr. divers. if borrell had something worthwhile to say then i think i'd have a bit more time for him, but as it stands hes just building himself up to be something much more impressive than he actually is.

Razorlight - no more albums?

If Johnny Borrell is a "twat" in your eyes just because he dares to say things unlike most of "rock stars" or "musicians" who are too cool to make any real comments, then I don't know what this world is becoming or Rock and Roll is becoming. For me, the spirit of Rock and Roll is about being daring. So if Johnny Borrell has the confidence, he is going to say it, what is wrong with that? Actually I met Razorlight, and they are all very nice people indeed, esp. Johnny Borrell, very intelligent person.

A lot of so called big hot rock stars never dare to say shit in public, but if you meet them in person, they treat you like shit, that's real arrogance. Plus, a lot of over night successful bands this year are thousand times worse than Razorlight. I think Razorlight is a great young band and has a lot of potentials. And they have so much passion live, unlike a lot of "posers" bands or "all-about-not-to-mess-up-my-indie-haircut" bands.

Razorlight - no more albums?

The best bands and singer-songwriters, the ones that release quality stuff year after year, are ALWAYS modest about their talents. They are their own harshest critics and are never satisfied with their art, ensuring that quality control is always used on each release.
However, Mr Borrell seems to think he is the 'greatest songwriter of his generation' and in doing so will always believe that whatever song he releases, no matter how shit, is the greatest ever written.
Furthermore, the fact that he whores himself to every radio station, television programme and magazine going proves that he is willing to big his band up for as long as the crest of the wave lasts which, deep down, he knows will be very short lived.
Lastly, 'Golden Touch' sounds like the kind of song ANYBODY could have written when they were 11 years old. And it's the best song they've got!

Re: Razorlight - no more albums?

johnny borrell is rather arrogant and i hate him for that. but i love razorlight sooooo much n i was totally pissed off when i couldnt get tickets. they'd better tour again even if they don't release an album
lastly, golden touch does sound like the kind of song anybody could have written when they were 11 yrs old, which is precisely the reason why IT AINT THEYRE BEST FUCKIN SONG! thats gotta be vice or rip it up, easily.

Re: Razorlight - no more albums?

Vice sounds like a Northern Uproar lovesong if they'd heard "Different Class" once or twice. Are you honestly serious?

Razorlight - no more albums?

there's a reason Harrison is one of the dead ones.

Razorlight - no more albums?

Bugger all you anti razorlighters.....they are the best band we have had in fucking ages.....there has to be another album...its a done thing......he may be a cocky fucker but he and the boys knows how to make music.....i think you anti razorlighters just slag the guyz off for the sake of it..u think its cool to hate them...they totally rock.........I_like_you...they're best song definitly has to be Vice or Rip It UP..........

Re: Razorlight - no more albums?

of course. it's absolutely inconceivable to imagine that there might be people out there that simply don't like them. and people never ever slag music off for any other reason than to look cool.

razorlight are average. a few good songs, a few shit ones, and mediocrity in between.

xxx

Re: Razorlight - no more albums?

why do i sense a hint of sarcasm....i will take everything u have said up to your last line with a pinch of salt. .anyway....every1 has an opinion.....every band has their great songs and their shite songs...razorlight are no different...in that aspect.....even i will admit to that ...anyway....hope to see the guyz back on the road soon.......

Re: Razorlight - no more albums?

On average, how many full stop buttons on your keyboard do you go through a year?

Re: Razorlight - no more albums?

erm....................................................................................................................................................................................well ..................................................................................not that many.................................

Razorlight - no more albums?
