I'd like to start by saying that i couldn't agree more with all the negative comments in the 'are the Courteeners the new smiths' recent thread. I hate them too and wish they'd f*cking die! The only similarities between them and oasis are that the lead singers are both tossers with the same name and silly haircuts, who spout a constant stream of overflowing trash from their primary orifice that should actually be used to sit on a toilet with. Looks like God was having a bit of fun on the sixth day. Also, if you read the NME interview with them, dated 12 April, you will see that liam nonchalantly says that he 'writes songs about the dictionary'. This just shows how stupid he is and what a thieving little git he is. Still, going off his recent lyrics, i can't wait to see if he actually does write a song about the dictionary.....pocket english gem, now there's a hit!
I live in manchester and there are much better, more original and refreshing sounding bands such as Lowline who are just starting out, and would be huge if they were given all this bollocks media-induced attention too. Although you can hear their influences too, and sometimes quite clearly, they have a more original sound and are more rock n roll than the Courteeners will ever be. If you don't believe me, check em out on myspace or wherever. They're called Lowline. Remember that name, you heard it here first. Or second, depending on how good your musical knowledge is. So stick that in your pipe and smoke it Mr 'we're the best band in the country and we're dead rock n roll' Fray, because Robbie Rush will av yer in a scrap any day.
Hmmm...
And you created an account just to say us that...
And you forgot the necessary myspace link...
And you were doing so well
until "much better, more original and refreshing sounding bands such as Lowline".
Manchester's music scene has always been toilet.
Apart from liek 2 gems, in the form of the Stone Roses and Oasis.
^ god i wish you wouldn't write absolute rubbish
That comment proves you know nothing about Manchester. New Order, Joy Division, A Guy Called Gerald, The Happy Mondays, The Inspiral Carpets, A Certain Ratio, 808 State, etc, etc - plese don't write sweeping generlisations which are patently not true. Manchester has made a solid contribution to british music so please think before you post.
as for the dunder head writing
about his band Lowline admit he's in them.
I know fucking absolutely everything about Manchester.
Joy Division = very good
New Order = very poor
A Guy Called Gerald = who the fuck?
Happy Mondays = fucking crap
Inspiral Carpets = not good
A Certain Ratio = zzzz
Stone Roses = wow
Oasis = wow
A Guy Called Gerald
Voodoo Ray is one of the most amazing acid house moments ever.
go back to nursery mate
you obviously have only heard their songs on the Now compilation mummy bought for you. You wouldnt be writing such drivel if you had sound knowledge on these bands.
^meant for wrighteylew
leading authority on all things music.
Ohh err!
Handbags at five paces.
hmm
+ los campesinos reference to get crowd onside
+ slating of a scapegoat, historically proven to unite populations
- no myspace link
- new user
- unimaginative descriptors
so close to pulling off a good jag!

Lowline are the SHITTEST band in Manchester.
Possibly the SHITTEST band to EVER come from Manchester. They sent me a press release that included the line (and i quote) "cited by The Enemy's Tom Clark as the best new band in Britain". Ha, fuck off, you're a goon.
'Robbie Rush'??
surely not his real name. and a rubbish fake one anyway.
oops
I should be careful: 'he'll av yer in a scrap anyday'
Seriously though,
It's people like you, yond MrJingles, that give Manchester a bad name.
If you're so damn intimidated by the Courteeners' success (regardless what your opinion is of them), then use that as a motivator to musically out-do them.
Don't just publically embarrass yourself and other Mancs by saying that you "wish they'd f*cking die". It does nobody any favours, let alone yourself.
7/10 for effort
2/10 for JAGing
lowline are fucking wank
wank wank wank.
probably the worst thing i have ever heard. they are truely awful. they're not even good enough to gain attention like the courteeners and the enemy and all that site. lowline are awful.
was that clear enough?
I get the feeling that DiS has turned into
a testing ground for new character comedy ideas.
"I am the only musical fuckwit in the village!"
Bwahahahaha
This makes me laugh. Bugger off.
I doubt Lowline are any good
they're from Manchester. The title made me cringe. And please, someone explain, I'm not stupid...what is a JAG?
Where someone advertises a band
when they are in it. But they pretend to be an avid fan.
aaaaah
thank you!
Technically it's just making out how amazing your band is
without really stopping to think how little anyone will care.
Pretending to be someone who's a fan is more of a standard DiS tradition, though.
There are tonnes of users out there created just for this purpose. It's pretty funny.
MrJingle's response...
"Fyi, when i said that i wanted the Courteeners to 'die', it was an ironic reference to the headline of my post ok? What's wrong, are you american or something and that's why you don't understand irony? Of course i'm more intelligent than to actually write that with meaning, it's just a shame people like you take it seriously."
not ironic though, is it Mr Lowline
just a reference. not an ironic one.
maybe he should write more songs about dictionaries.
Pedantic i know, BUT
there is no such thing as 'the' dictionary... as clearly evidenced by the dictionary shelf in any book-based retail outlet.
Why can't people..
Learn to get their point across more succintly.
There is no way I am going to read any post longer than one inch long.
down down down
Bones you are sinking, let go!
my bad
whoops confused bones with jingles, apologies
^
this
Were Lowline...
called Lowlife, or is that a different band. Cos LowLife were a wicked band but thought the came from the midlands.
Or mayby I'm confusing them with Escobar?
...
I was confusing them with Escobar, who upon reflection, sound like poo.
Frankly...
Manchester should be fucking ashamed it ignored this gem of a band whilst it was busy scrabbling about trying to find the new Oasis...
http://www.myspace.com/fractionmusic
yes they do...
extra bad poo.
What are this Lowline like?
I am onl going to listen to them if they are all arrogant 'we are going to re-invent music but still sound the fucking same as every other chav rock band'.
If they fit into that category, then wherecanigetthefuckinalbummate!!!
They're like the Lidl Editors
The Netto Interpol?
oh my god
there are too many courteeners threads. i can't handle this anymore. i might burst
Agreed
I'm getting pretty fucking sick of us all discussing bands we don't even like. It's all anyone seems to live for. Why can't we just ignore these things.
Oh shi.
Oh.
Phailing with levels of unparalleled phail.
Scorchio-JAG.
