Editors go #1: UK people argue for your country's existence

Life is better than the Editors, so your comparison is fatally undermined.

Countries'.

We don't give our children names like "Jordan", for one.

You wouldn't believe how many kids called Jordan I've known dude.

We give our glamour models names like Jordan tho. xp.

Countries'.

for real?

Also wtf the Editors aren't number one at the moment, the Chemical Brothers are at #1 in the album charts and Rihanna is still #1 in the singles. Worst thread ever.

BAN LOUIS SARGENT

xposts. No not really I'm just a bitter nationalist.

Jordan is obv on a v. v. slow connection.

omg noob get cable. 56k noob.

Hey Jordan, Tony Blairs has resigned.

What do you think of Ban Louis Hamilton's chances of winning the British Grand Prix, Jordan?

Eddie Jordan, surely?

Jordan Sargent RIP. Hope you up in heaven raging against popular music, big man.

I think the lack of a "The" in the pop group Editors is the most loathsome thing about them, amidst stiff competition.

Well, adding a "the" would make it seem that they *are* the editors. As it stands, it could be the thing that they are railling against!

Like calling themselves "This Country!" or something.

they should call themselves "Some Editors"

They should display their NUJ cards first.

The Bees (is that right, should it be "Bees"? anyway) are called "Band of Bees" in the US, apparently.

"Band of Editors" anyone?

In the same week The Editors got to number one, the new Happy Mondays album went in with a bullet at number 73. OK, that's not really a defence is it????

I think Happy Mondays only getting to 73 is a great defence of the UK.

Unless they count the "No More Fopp" factor.

has anyone ever described a new indie band as sub-Editors?

ha, still alive, dom, just with better things to worry about... i.e. why someone is using power drills outside my apartment at 8:35 in the morning.

Can't wait to start the Hannah Montana go #1 two weeks in a row: U.S. people please defend your existence in a grammatically correct thread next week.

or even "T.I. goes #1 in the U.S.: Hip-hop is dead please leave your regards"

Is that the album where the girl who is actually HM gets to record her own album, credited to her, and everything? Called "Hannah Montana 2" ?

She pulled a reverse Chris Gaines. A smart move in retrospect.

She went country?

in fact i don't think editors are half bad in the "at least they dont have a song called 'vince the lovable stoner' kind of way."

we can all rally against the fratellis surely?

She went country?

For all I know.

the new album is surprisingly hard and sad.

they're better than The Enemy

has anyone ever described a new indie band as sub-Editors?

NME used that for the headline of their review of the second Editors album!

There are worse bands, y'know.

Like Eddie Jordan's band for example. It had Damon Hill as guitarist, I shit you not.

the first editors record is fine with me. i don't care if it didn't look very far and try to deceive people with its influences.
