if "music is my radar" had been on 13, it would have been one of the weakest tracks. it's still quite effective, mind; the dissonant pulses and especially the coda create a frisson.

Noodle, that was flaming brilliant for about 90 seconds, then it became a bit cock-rocky for my tastes. Lots of crunchy chords and widdling - an authentic rock'n'roll atmosphere but a disappointment given how awesome I thought it was gonna be.

Saw them in the Adelphi on Friday night. Anybody who can scissor jump on that stage earns instant mad love.

Also: Twin Guitar Attack = always ultra-classic

Haha, well fair enough. I'd imagine that sort of music is way more impressive when you're actually there. Although I generally prefer Triple Guitar Attack (Oceansize etc). :P
Speaking of live music I'm hopefully gonna be seeing soon, a certain band by name of Melt-Banana are playing Cambridge two days before my graduation ceremony...

YOU MUST GO. Kill if need be. Don't think they're playing here this time round :(

Haha, I've already read your post on that thread, along the lines of "I went and I don't even need to hear any of their albums now SHIT IT DOESN'T GET ANY BETTER THAN THIS". Suffice it to say that I'm definitely making provisions. :D

I'd already got most of the ablums I think but they are something to see, for sure.

Well I bumped their ILM thread. I've only got Cell-Scape but it's a fucking monster. First (proper) song sounds like everything Muse want to be but aren't.
