:-) hello Raya

I knew you wouldn't be able to resist... Them cats down at the sunny gotta have some ting to get groovy to when da bands ain't playin, yo. (<-- Geordie Rasta.)

Number 1 this week. 6 overall for the year. My Bolshevik brothers are climbing all the way too the top! The latest Pissed Jeans album is lacklustre at best. But really, how far can you actually take the genre of noise rock? Three solid albums, it seems. Even The Jesus Lizard didn't make many more albums deemed good. In fact, I would go as far to controversially add that Pissed Jeans have more solid albums. Although they don't have a Goat. And Goats are important.

Don't blame me, blame the radio stations on GTA. But where Rod is concerned, there is absolutely no blame. ♥

Wait a minute...he doesn't look like a singer-songwriter...

Oh my! I didn't realise I'd listened that much; it looks like I've lost my mind. Blame Elliott for making pretty songs that only last 1m50s. :(

I think you're giving UMP a little too much credit there. Somewhat embarrassing that my annual one song UMP listen was spotted. Conveniently I left iTunes running all night so nobody need know about my week of cock-rock.

Hi Raya, Any chance you could sort a gig for Cheap Jazz in march? http://cheapjazz.bandcamp.com/ cheapjazz@gmail.com donrt mean to kiss ass but i thought you may be able to help us judging by the kind of music your into. Thanks Chris x

For me it brings back only fond memories - Garreth and I, semi-nude, embracing.

I hope you're not implying I should be using iTunes.

Easy now, I just thought I'd give it a spin for a month as it was only 3 quid and there are no restrictions on the recommendations radio . I'm still the same person, it hasn't changed me.

And why were you not using an original Caxton printing press to produce Newsletters, hmm?

And why are you not exclusively using notepad to build websites, hmm?

Our musical compatibility is SUPER apparently. Also, wtf how are you 23?

I'm too old to be listening to rappers.

No, no one is alright. But, yes.

I like The Fall again.

No one writes on your last.fm profile.

I like listening to Liquid Swords with a Luther Vandross chaser too.

Primavera has turned me into a massive hipster. I only listen to P4k 10/10s now.

lower case is cool and it's good for making posts on radiohead forums when you're 19. because words are just so futile anyway and it's not like they'll ever be heard. they just get lost in the machine, man.

On the subject, have you SEEN the fucking default tags on the first Odd Future mixtape? I did a sick, considered retagging them, then realised it was probably easier just not to ever listen to it again.

Plus, I'm too busy doing more important stuff to bother mucking around with tags. Like editing my porn into a more wankable format.

I'm going to stop you there: as it's self released, the tags must be EXACTLY as intended. We have to respect the artist's wishes, Raya.

It's your fancy retro filters; I like the way they make me aesthetically less offensive. Throw in some foreground obstructions, and I'm looking terrific.

I'm sorry for everything bad i've done.

I like to hang out in parks.

It be next level shit.

I'd say it's 'alright', but it's certainly not the 10 on 10 that Pitchfuck so audaciously claim. Plus, I'd rather shit my brain out of my ears than listen to any song that features Rihanna.

That's just an actual lie! God!

..and i'm not ashamed of it, Sweet Disposition is a good song.

Franz Ferdinand? Shit off O'Neill.

Greg Coates is down with Die Antwoord; that's all the endorsement I need. Besides, I only listen to them because I fancy the girl.

Been checking out that Big Boi trip you were talking about. Siiiiick.

I've only listened to The Unseen. Thought it was alright, but nothing spectacular. Maybe it's a grower.

eh?

guess who's back..topsey's back..

Oh and "Rayalight" like Ray Of Light... The Madonna album? Way worse than The Killers. x

I stand by The Killers first album, it had it's place in my life circa 2006. x

word

what time is it?

perfect el-p production

Sadly not, I'm off work next week though so come hell or high water I'll be at THEE OH SEES, I'll just harass Faisal so I have someone to go with!

Want to go to Crystal Antlers but my gig buddy has let me down due to ATP commitments, gutted.

Hello Ms Itsjustnoise, can't wait for the Marvin gig next week!

what the hell is sludge idea? I can't find it on my MACHINE.

we are now super! how do you like them apples?

Naaah, I've only heard Vast Aire's track with DOOM, (which is what delighted me to investigate the Can Ox) but as we are apparently 'super', I shall probe your endorsements further.

pizza?

You just did. All of my friends like shit music, that's why.
