Indie After All

Stylus jukebox, Arcade Fire wins it, I am the only person to see genius in the Rasmus single.

I have a bunch of MP3 requests to fill and will give it a shot tonight, incidentally.

The radio version of "Wait" came on Radio 1 this morning. Jo Whiley said afterwards "I spent the first minute of that praying I'd not played the dirty version".

Stylus won't load for me :( Can someone copy and paste and gmail it?

What is the radio version of 'Wait' anyway, an instrumental?

I gave the Ying Yang Twins an 8, and drew comparisons between the current Southern rap scene and the blue comedy boon of the 1980s (Lil Jon = Bernard Manning, Mike Jones = Jethro, YYT= Jim Davidson). Will cut that blurb. He also cut my blurb suggest that Devandra's voice would be better suited to internet child molestation legend Brian Peppers, and the one hoping that Arcade Fire dude didn't have any more relatives waiting to drop dead so he could write another song about them.

I actually quite like the Rasmus single, it's just that it's worse than every song on "Dead Letters", and most of the ones off "Into" as well. I'm glad that my FAVOURITE band of cartoon Finnish goths' (i.e. HIM) new single is a corker though.
