I know who you are.
i wonder why you felt the need to set up such a mean, annoying fake account though.

The last picture show. 2612 6
Started by davef
Anyone know the name of the tune that was used as the theme for The Last Picture Show which used to be on RTE It's a lovely piano piece, really loungey and laid back. It's been driving me nuts trying to think of it!

Unsigned Artists-Events: Worth The Effort? 2730 8
Started by The Hand That Wounds
Do any of you feel it's actually worth playing or going events for unsigned artists such as HWCH and Castlepalooza While the intentions are ostensibly good, I can't think of too many bands that have gone on to great things from playing either of those events or any similar festivals (though I may be wrong). From my experience, the audience at something like HWCH is composed mainly of other musicicans, not 'civilians' or record company staff. What do you think

Smashing Pumkins - Zeitgeist 2505 6
Started by JamesT
Anyone heard the whole album I liked the 1st single off it a lot (Tarantula, I think it was called), and the new one 'That's the way (my love is)' is easily as good as anything they've ever done. I'm in 2 minds though as to whether I should just buy the album or download the 2 singles.

Hot Press Reviews - Unfairly Biased? 10271 35
Started by JamesT
I've read Hot Press for many years and find the reviews of Irish albums very, very biased. Yeah - I know it's good to promote local talent etc., but is it really acceptable to just blow smoke up their asses
Everytime there's an Irish single out, it's almost guranteed to get a good review. Albums usually get 8 plus out of ten, while international artists who recently got slated were Thom Yorke for the amazing 'Harrowdown Hill' and Damon Albarn's 'The Good, The Bad and The Queen' project,...

My Bloody Valentine Exclusive! Albums & Tour on the way 17112 21
Started by Quint
Hello!!,
Quint here, formerly known as Antistar. I used to post here about a year ago before the upgrade nightmare but enough of that...I went over to see Mogwai at Somerset House, London but while waiting for them to come on who should walk past only the Godlike genius that is Kevin Shields of My Bloody Valentine, creator of 'Loveless', one the greatest albums of all time and my all-time rock hero. Anyway, to cut a long story short and thanks to about 4 pints-worth of Dutch courage,...

Dream Pop 5703 22
Started by JamesT
It's been a long time since any bands ventured back into this genre. I remember fondly the kings of the scene;
AR Kane
Cocteau Twins
Slowdive
Kitchens of Distinction
Talk Talk
My Bloody Valentine
I suppose Sigur Ros could be considered Dream Pop, but not much else I've heard in recent years. Pity.

The Movie Was Great, But The Soundtrack Kicked Ass 6014 34
Started by Gar
I know that everytime someone mentions soundtracks on this board the usual roster of names crop up. It's so common for the big movies with one or two decent tunes on the soundtrack to get over-praised, but sometimes the soundtrack is compiled to such a satisifying degree that it overshadows the movie.
What are such soundtracks and movies
*This was brought on by how Scorsese uses The Rolling Stones, Dropkick Murphys, John Lennon, Nas and The Allman Brothers Band in 'The Departed'. Howev...

Nicky Wire's rant;
despite the fact that Manics make over-rated s**te. 'What have you done to your hair' What have you done for music more like Fuck all, but ultimately 100 less damage than Snow Patrol.
Have taken umbrage with this to the extent i have launched a post on it! How sad of me.
If your going to judge the MSP on the above line then you clearly have not been listening to them or while you were listening the phone rang...

The most over-rated bands of all time 19517 109
Started by Pilchard
What bands do people reckon are completely over-rated By which I mean completely unworthy of all the lavish attention and respectful focus they receive. I'm not talking about the usual pop suspects but those acts which are supposed to be the be all and end all for rock/indie fans.
I'll start the ball rolling with The Smiths. Truly the greatest musical travesty ever foisted on the world. One or two decent songs and nothing else. You rarely ever read or hear anyone examining the band and the...

Plug Bands, Releases, Recordings, Websites, etc. 2224 5
Started by JamesT
I think everyone should get more involved in this section of the forums. OK, I'm a newbie, so you can tell me to shag off (some of you have no problem doing this I see!!), but I think it's important to give new Irish bands a listen and a bit of feedback.
OK, a LOT of bands are not the best, but there are some good ones there. It seems that that whole section of the forum is pointless if no-one replies - whether it be negative or positive criticism, it at least gives bands a chance to res...
