Some wonderful warped noises on there. Am enjoying the album for what it is - shows Fischerspooner's up in a very bad light. Musically and lyrically so much more going on. Re mailorder - I've found Boomkat.com excellent (Manchester based I think). Also used mutebank with satisfaction and posteverything (of course).

The Great Pub Rock Revival, as Lawrence so astutely predicted.

Only caught the end of Thrills but wasn't particularly thrilled with their Slacker-chic take on Supertramp. Interpol I liked, they aren't the new Joy Division but they might be the new Crispy Ambulance. And hearing a NY band ripping off The Chameleons at least makes a change from ripping off VU and the Stooges. Polyphonic Spree were OK, but the visual spectacle of 25 robed musicians leaping around doesn't quite compensate for the fact that they have only got one decent song (Soldier Girl). And what on earth are they so happy about? The Datsuns were of course, completely bloody awful. They played tedious metal cock-rock drivel, only with 'Strokes' haircuts and jeans so the NME thinks they have discovered something post-post-nu-metal and re-re-retrocool. Wrong! . At least Whitesnake have a couple of memorable tunes! I retreated to the bar. It seems many of the crowd had the same idea as Keith, as the sold-out venue was half full by the time Datsuns ended their set. > Yes, I'm going on 9 Feb and on current thinking will be leaving after the > Spree so that my happy thoughts are not impaired by this load of > retrograde, > lumpen bollocks.
