Isn't the issue out yet? Matt's psychic or something isn't he? Surely he knows?

No the 'not included' list thing was in the back of this weeks copy, one of those "in next weeks mag" pages. Jesus christ that was an effort to type

[Gucci Piggy]

They included a "not included list?"

Are they dumb?

That's literally a "We're too dumb to include these artists so come see what stupid artists we picked instead".

Bleh.

Everything is because of The Libertines. Everything. They invented the internet that Arctic Monkeys were the first band to use to get big.

Strong post

Bleh.

It's good promotion, they need to think of a way to get people interested in yet another 'most influential' list so thy try and stir up controversy by announcing that it doesn't actually include any of the most influential artists.

You can almost picture them sat around a table having their weekly meeting.

"Libs and Arctics are playing gigs at the moment so we need another way to shoehorn references to them into everything we do"

"How about a list to show how influential and important they are?"

"Another one? How can we sell this one"

"Stir up controversy by only including modern bands, not including all those old fuckers who influenced modern bands"

"But that means it wouldn't be a most influential list"

"Who gives a shit if it's accurate or not, people will by copies and click on he website regardless, even if it's just to bitch about how inaccurate it is"

"Genius"

They aren't the dumb ones, we are.

They make a factual or typographical error in every article so I think we are all the dumb ones.

[Gucci Piggy]

But I'm not gonna buy it so I guess I'm the intelligent one.

But you'll either click on their website, or by participating in and continuing open discussion about it encourage someone else to. The moment someone brought it up (whichever fucker it was) we were all fucked.

[Gucci Piggy]

No I refute your claims.

[mrtourette]

I refute your refution.

[kaosmark2]

I refute your face.

[mattgimmeshelter]

So you don't actually know what you're talking about?

The reason they are credited as some kind of modern trendsetters is because they are seen by the mainstream as the first band to utilise free downloads and fan file-sharing through their website(s) to spread word of mouth (rather than using the traditional methods of advertising and airplay) to mass effect, and it culminated in the #1 single when very little was spent on promotion or pushing the record using traditional methods. This prompted middle-aged media types everywhere to hail them as some kind of indication of the future and how music was going to be distributed and that these upstarts form the North were shunning tried and tested formulas and breaking down barriers, forcing the music industry to try and keep up, blah blah blah, as if it was something new. Which of course it wasn't. And look at these young upstarts now, where once they were allegedly blazing a trail, forcing the music industry to take a long hard look at itself and question its future they are now using immoral schemes to avoid paying taxes on their millions.

It's got nothing to do with 'going viral or something on youtube'.

I don't really remember dancefloor blowing up, I remember reading in a shitty NME article once saying "ever since they were discovered from the internet"... and just assumed.

[mrtourette]

I refute your face.

I love your face

[mrtourette]

and just assumed.

Always dangerous.

[justanothername]

The NME causes nothing but problems on here

[kaosmark2]

I love your face

How could you not?

[sjseabass]

It was me who brought it up.

Don't worry, I'm pulling my own fingernails out as punishment as we speak. Gets pretty hard once you move on to the other hand.

[mrtourette]

I'll help if you need it.

[Chavmeisterdeluxe]

Lyger have been added to open The Pit so presumably they are Crosses replacement.

[kemosabe]

[Bisque]

and there's the girl in the corner who lets no one ignore her cause she thinks she's the passionate one.

[kemosabe]

Does anyone know if there is anyway of finding out how much a bands last gig/ tour cost... trying to work out if my Leeds ticket is worth it based on what im seeing but cant seem to find the prices of any bands previous gigs.

Our love would be forever, and if we die, we die together, and lie, I said never, because our love would be forever.
