the magic numbers
aren't looking so morbidly obese these days
They
exist.
Radiohead
They...had that nice song about androids that time.
The fucking cunts.
Johnny Borrell
does well to keep those jeans clean
There may be a Nickelback fan who
isn't a tweenager or redneck. There.
there is!
It's my boss. He plays the album at ork repeatedly. It's arse wrenchingly bad.
*work
he doesn't play it at orks.
Wow. Wasn't expecting
That to come true. Play Test Icicles at work to scare him.
I imagine orcish hordes would be repelled
by a man sporting a mullet and a cowboy hat.
Nah they're into that shit
The Hoosiers
The singer wasn't as deeply irritating as I'd have expected. Still a massive cunt though.
^
Zoolander
Scouting for Girls
have never broken into my car.
i've been laughing like a bastard
for five minutes at this ^
potd
The Fall
have some very good lyrics.
Dear every single band in London
You're all really original and brilliant.
Jamie T
Well, I didn't manage to find out your postcode after all in 2007 - here's to 2008...
Kenicke
well......
I can't do it. Lauren Laverne is a cunt.
.
Feeder. Well, its encouraging to see that the mentally disadvantaged are being accepted & integrated into the community. Good on 'em.
Cleopatra
came from Moss Side and to my knowledge, have never shot anyone.
Jonny Borrell
has a big squiffy wiffy lovely soft nose!
...
George Pringle: U R fit. I would do u, with or without Sean's permission.
liars
quite entertaining live
The Bluetones
do look smart
iLiKETRAINS
Well, at least they appreciate history.
Kings of leon
win some of my respect when their record company asked them to shave off all their facial hair so as too apeal to the more aesthetically inclined market. In responce to this they grew hench beards! brilliant
Jamie Cullum
can play the right notes on a piano.
The Twang
..used to bottle HP Sauce for a living so they can't be all bad.
You'd never know
how the wonderfully talented jazz hobbit could attract a beaty like Sophie Dahl.
Rosa Fears
wrote me a nice note on myspace requesting I stop slagging off their band on DiS. I still dislike them immensely and laughed at the thought of them 'jay and silent bob'ing everyone that's witnessed them and thought they were shit, and then were amazed that, after seeing them three times, they have finally entertained me...!
the beatles
had some ace beards
The Runners
Come from a lovely town.
Johnny Borrel isn't short!
Bono use to write good songs!
Nicky Wire rhymes with fire!
Queen don't make music anymore!
The View are from Scotland!
Are they facts or compliments?
a bit of both....
actually they are all facts.
The drummer from New Young Pony Club
would get it
Reverend and the Makers
Try very hard
^this one made me
lol!
The Others
were ace at smoking crack.
Bloc Party aren't as bad as John_Brainlove say they are.
It's just not possible.
Kate Nash
would look good with alopecia.
Coldplay
It's great that Chris Martin has decided his kid should never eat meat.
James Blunt
has inadvertently provided extra material for the dictionary of cockney rhyming slang.
haha
To be fair he's pretty into the whole self mockery thing.
James Blunt
understands why I feel the way I do about him.
The Manic Street Preachers
most people liked them...
The Battles' drummer is awesome
What a waste.
^ this
and Ian Williams was great in Don Caballero
The Courteeners
don't go in for emotional string-laden power ballads.
Interpol
are very good at standing totally still on stage!
lolz
this is so true
the guy from nickelback
makes a nice risotto.
How do you know that
please?
i have no evidence to back this up
it's a hunch. (coincidentally, the guy from nickelback does have a hunched back)
Interesting...
But how do you know THAT?
from looking
big hunchback jesus-a-like
The Feeling
aren't Scouting for Girls
i actually quite like that first The Feeling song
it has a nice chord progression.
Tracy is hot and has the clap
contains very smiley, enthusiastic band members.
Kasabian
did a lot for the sales of militaria following the promo for that crap one they wrote (I actually don't know its name).
The Stone Roses
were considerate enough to split up.
controversial......
although I am kind of with you on that one!
Little Man Tate
Did well to release an album
^ lol
at the little man tate
This Ain't Vegas
Got booked to support Deerhunter.
the enemy
aren't as ugly inside as they are outside
Rofl Harris
I dunno... they do strike me as being quite bitter. Maybe because of the looks that life had dealt them.
death cab for cutie
have never deliberately killed any household pets...as far as i know
Sufjan Stevens has a nice name,
Elliot Smith shares his first name with the kid out of ET, and Bob Dylan has the same first name as me.
a first ^^
I have never come across someone who actively dislikes Elliot Smith before
...
That's weird. As he is so objectively shit.
He had the decency to commit suicide though
Keane
have never shot a man in Reno, just to watch him die. Or in Argos.
or have they...?
The Pigeon Detectives
are more than likely not currently defrauding the state with fictitious benefit claims.
Pete Wentz
has a fine body
led zep
had an incredible drummer. so did the who and jimmy hendrix experience.
All this talk of drummers
...Def Leppard had the funniest drummer to watch
The Twang
would beat me in a fight.
I would piss on Chumbawumba
if they were on fire.
Jon Bon Jovi knows how to tie his own shoe laces
I really enjoyed
Klaxons' Mercury acceptance 'speech'
axl rose
those dreads look well sick
Newton Faulkner...
..has never covered Massive Attack. Wait a minute....
Jack penate.
is probably a nice person
Johnny Borrell
invented yoghurt and can cure most minor ailments with his healing, healing hands.
That bloke from Maximo Park
can get away with wearing a bowler hat.
He wasn't
when I saw him backstage at a gig recently. Coked-up arse.
Oops
that was in reply to the Jack Penate one
no you did it right
Also Jack Penate
...has bad personal hygine, he stinks!

Jack Penate
is a really great dancer

i would hesitate
before smacking orson in the face
I Would Jump In
and attempt to stop you during your moment of hestitation.
Brandon Flowers
is probably not a sex pest.
Plain White T's
are not terrorists.
jamie t
is young enough to jack it in,
make a fortune in a new career,
buy back all his CDs
and make a massive massive pile,
put Tom Vek and Conor McN on top,
and make with the matches and feel the weight lift from his shoulders
true about interpol, wot they said above, playing statues again is it?
Foo Fighters - Cheer up, 'Everlong' is alright.
Jamie T - has a nice house
Calvin Harris - uhhhhh thumbs up for effort.
Haha
"has a nice house" I like Jamie T and that made me laugh.
He does
have a nice house, he rents half of it out to the Williams sisters during Wimbledon tennis fortnight. His grandma is a 'Lady'...that's just how street he is.
whats wrong with tom vek?
you shit
