You read my geeky little Web site but not the rest of my profile it seems. My current favourite band (who I shamelessly review on this site) are Thoria. You should check them out, you'd probably like them.

Oh, and they're not a signed commodity and haven't, to my knowledge, appeared in the NME. But then I haven't read it since 1997, bar a flick through my girlfriend's copy.

If the Kamikazes are in London on a day that I'm not broke, I'll go along and see them. Hopefully they're as exciting as you say live, because the MP3s I've heard sound no different to bands like The Vines, The Hives, and even a tiny bit like bands I like such as BRMC and Jon Spencer. Which is great, it's rock n' roll, but it's getting to the point where everyone sounds the same.

I'm sorry if my responses to Kamikazes posts have seemed cynical and stuff but I hear the same hyperbole and OTT excitement about bands all the time, and often they're just the same old same old, with the same posing and the same mission statement.

Course, time will tell... WMK might mutate into a three-headed interstellar rock beast and I'll be happily munching on my words.
