Perhaps you're going to bootleg a gig and share it on your website. The industry loving NME would like to know. They won't reveal your name and address. Not in the paper, anyway....

Is there a point to this thread?

― Konal Doddz (blueski), Thursday, 11 May 2006 13:19 (nineteen years ago)

And if so, what is it doing on ILM?

Jesus, the NME's research division is getting cut back and back, isn't it?

Define "massive". Over 100 kg? 150 kg?

Perpetua to thread.

― Doktor Faustus (noodle vague), Thursday, 11 May 2006 13:22 (nineteen years ago)

well, exactly, tissp.

They used to throw these appeals out when a band played somewhere relatively inaccesible in the world (Oasis in Kinchasa or some such)

Now, it's like "cheap reportage" and so on.

So was the point that the NME is getting lazier?

Can there just be one single (sc)rolling thread for 'what stupid pointless exercise the NME have done this week'?

I like 'em, and I'm about one twenty (xposts)

That 'worst NME cover of all time' thread gets updated pretty well every week, we could use that

xpost

I think the laughable audacity (audlaughity) of the NME needs as much blanket coverage as possible, Steve. Easy target, I know, but come on.

― steal compass, drive north, disappear (tissp), Thursday, 11 May 2006 13:26 (nineteen years ago)

Yeah, maybe we should have one thread for "what stupid pointless record Band (X) have put out this week" too.

― Doktor Faustus (noodle vague), Thursday, 11 May 2006 13:26 (nineteen years ago)

That would be fine, but I thought that thread was for bad NME covers. Sillez moi.

Someone rename this thread to : rolling thread for 'what stupid pointless exercise the NME have done this week'?

― mark grout (mark grout), Thursday, 11 May 2006 13:27 (nineteen years ago)

One thread for "DJ MARTIAN IS AGHAST AT THE NME" and one for "MARK GROUT IS AGHAST AT THE NME". And we could cut down on the amount of threads this site has by roughly 40%.

Ned got ma back.

― Konal Doddz (blueski), Thursday, 11 May 2006 13:36 (nineteen years ago)

One tries.

"303 drum patterns"?!!!!???!!!

"Stephen Worthy" is, like, the most NME name ever.

― Dom Passantino (Dom Passantino), Wednesday, 31 May 2006 14:53 (nineteen years ago)

Hot Chip might be barely passable were their singer able to sing.

― Marcello Carlin (nostudium), Wednesday, 31 May 2006 14:55 (nineteen years ago)

"krautrock to Kraftwerk" is slightly errrr too
