Worst.

Journalism. Ever.


How are they like Sid & Nancy?

I don't get it


Because

They're like the same person but in different versions.


They're Richard & Judy

then


they're dead

and the klaxons are soulless dead entities... sid was barely coherent, so are the klaxons, nancy was a sycophantic evil whore, so are the klaxons, ooh i could go on! thank you NME!


I know im stating the bleeding obvious

but Jesus! - NME R.I.Pieces! - this REALLY is the end this time!


Oh, sod off...

you po-faced, humourless, pompous arse.

Since when did music become so bloody serious that a light-hearted article about romance between two pop stars become the nadir of journalism? Fuck's sake. Get a grip.


^

read some serious journalism rather than torture yourself?


all that heroine


It's barely a

bloody story.


I did a

bit of a sick in the back of my throat.


I got halfway through the article

before I shat out my innards in despair.


NME bashing is so

1997. Get a life.


Conor?

Is that you?


No.

I just don't see the point.


whoa

i'm with the_glory, you guys should lighten up, you can't rail against a light-hearted article thats not even aimed at your demographic,

do you expect them to be writing about how hawk and a hacksaw are teaming up with Sun O))) to cover neutral milk hotel b-sides? take that.


You're like a cunt.

Without a hole. Or a clit.


The NME needs to be dissed wherever possible.

It's a fucking travesty of music journalism, and a betrayal of music in general. There's "light hearted", and then there's having a news section which once contained dozens of articles about bands of all genres but now consists of 4 or 5 pages containing one picture and a caption each.

I still think the world needs a really good weekly printed indie magazine. I'm just disappointed in how awful NME has become. If you don't agree with me or think I'm exaggerating, go and check out 'The Dark Stuff' by Nick Kent, 'Psychotic Reactions and Carburettor Dung' by Lester Bangs and/or 'Rock And Hard Places' by Andrew Mueller and see for yourself the kind of articles IPC Media were publishing until only relatively recently.

Rock n roll deserves better. And so do we.


Bollocks.

You deserve Pitchfork. Be grateful and shut the fuck up.


Why does The_Glory only ever show up

when the NME gets dissed?


I noticed that.

Still, it's pretty funny.


I think its pretty boring.

If you find NME bashing dull then stay out the thread i say.
I know giving the NME a hiding is as pointless as flogging a dead cat/dog/horse/christian/scientologist whatever, but its still damn good fun!


No.

Having sex is fun. Watching repeats of Fawlty Towers is fun. Slagging off the NME is the sign of a tiny mind.


YAWN


Yes.

A tiny mind having fun. Now go and wank off to Basil Fawlty and leave us alone or i'll start saying Oasis are shit, which they are.


I had a wet dream about Sybil Fawlty once.

Can I have a wank off to her instead?


Ask her.

She's your Mum.


My mum's a fictional character in a 70's sitcom?

Wow. I'm descended from comedy royalty. No wonder I'm funnier than you.


Exactly.

I'm descended from a real-life tragedy.


It's cos I'm Conor McNicholas,

obviously. Stands to reason.


he's back!

again!
yay!


NME bashing

is excellent sport on a dull Wednesday afternoon.


this made me lol.

it's all very Heat magazine.


Ohhhh...

So THAT one's Lovefoxx, and THAT one's Simon.


Got to be careful with nme.com at the mo

A couple of missed clicks and you may finding yourself accidently buying the new Twang album.


What disturbs me...

is that there are clearly people who think being like Sid & Nancy makes the relationship a good idea.


2 scene bands join together...

if they had kids would grow up to be, like, the most super scene band... EVER?


Nuer Rave?

Cansei de ser Klaxons?

WHO KNOWS?


^

:D


Are you seriously surprised

at this article? NME is just an indie Heat magazine..


^ this

to be honest, it would be more offensive if it was an badly written article about something interesting. NME is shit though, but only because it seems to take itself seriously and consider itself a respectable magazine...


the nme tour

the latest nme tour is sponsored by Topman! Fucking TOPMAN!


Love foxx is Hott!

Klaxons are gay!

Best post ever?


Leeds Utd used to be sponsored by Topman

and look where they are now.


nah.

"BANDMATE: HE WELL FANCIES HER."

vs.

"HEADLINE: MIKE SKINNER'S ALRIGHT, AND WE HAVE A SINGLE OUT, YEAH?"

First one totally wins.


Yeah I suppose.

It was more The Twangs comments really.


they read like

a mickey loosefit post.


Thats just dire

I hate the fact that she looks uber-hott in that picture and that simon klaxons looks like a leperous geldof. I envy his luck.


The journalist?

I'm not sure Let's Make Love And Listen To Lower East Side Electronic Hip Hop Expressing Dystopian Marxist Theories Of False Consciousnesswould be as catchy.


Can i point out

when i went to the NME tour earlier on in the year me and my mate were talking to a couple of blokes from Klaxons, the lead singer and keyboard player and all we could hear was these two shagging on the tour bus. Its not made up or owt, i havent read the thread like but its not a publicity stunt or owt like that.


^cock in hand


OK

That sucks. the nme's riding the OK/Hello/Heat magazine trend now?!


Are you surprised?

When was the last time you read it?


Reading.

skimread it for a couple of years and go on to nme.com sometimes. the worst was when The Strokes got a headline every time one of the members had a haircut


Since the release of

Is this it, i beleive


Has anyone else

noticed the amusing Klaxons T-Shirts on sale below the picture of them two?
