I'm starting to think that Starsparkle and I would make a lovely couple......

 

Thinking isn't your strong point, is it?

You responded to him, so how is that 'following you around'? :loopy:

 

No, I didn't. He responded to a post of mine. And he's been fishing on various other threads we've both been posting on lately, trying to get rises out of me. It might help to check your facts before posting.

OK :) I've checked my facts....He posted here, clearly not in response to anything you've posted. You then responded to that post here, QED :cool:

Can I direct you to the top of this page? I think you'll find you need to do your homework a bit more thoroughly.

 

Anyway - can we get back to the thread now please? This is all getting rather sad.

 

Cheers

For you, Starsparkle

 

However, for anyone who didn't take the bait, you don't really need to hear the new AM album to know how it's going to sound. The Official NME Rules For Over-Hyped indie bands are as follows;

 

FIRST ALBUM

Blah blah blah.......

 

 

Isn't that somewhat hypocritical coming from someone who recently started a thread saying we should treat music on its merits and ignore the hype?

 

For what its worth, I think the Arctic Monkeys are well worth the hype (is there such a thing as over-hype?) and if they never make another decent record, they've still managed to enrich my world far more than 99.99% of acts. Thanks also to NME for making sure I became aware of them.

 

They have really strong echoes of The Undertones, or is that just me?

Yeah, I think you're spot-on there. They have an aura of freshness and joyousness about them that does remind me very strongly of the Undertones. Music is something that should be enjoyed, after all, and I think both bands have brought a lot of youthful enthusiasm to their craft. Both bands certainly lift my spirits whenever I hear them.

Oh well, that's obviously the final word on it I guess the lads will immediately disband they will be so gutted that BasilRathbon doesn't think much to their album...

 

Why not try talking about subjects you know something about for a change?

Like I didn't know that

 

Since the enforced departure of dear Bartfarst, you're currently SF's no.1 troll - we all know it

Lighten up occasionally Starsparkle :).
