  • In case we die – Architecture in Helsinki

    Suppose I should take this seriously. tell you a story and make the album live in your ears before you have a chance to run out and buy it like a pack of lemmings. I should describe each member of the band and perhaps pick on the front man/woman and tell you their story, making… Read more

  • Yours truly, the angry mob – Kaiser Chiefs

    Will you lot fuck off, you’ve knocked over my bins again. The Kaisar Chiefs are like being back in collage halls and sharing a flat with some cunt. He nicks your food, messes the place up, never does the washing up, and comes in at 4 in the morning with a load of mates, all… Read more

    The scissor sisters are horrible evil things, they have made disco somehow acceptable to be played in indie disco’s. they did it by pretending to be ironic, but then no one wears clothes like that all the time without meaning it. Still they’ve taken time off they’re busy schedule from ripping off 70’s disco classics… Read more
