I USE THE NME. I USE ANARCHY
Yet again, we get the NME in a bag, and this is because we get some badges (or pins to my oh so many American fans)! In case you're interested, I got a pretty cool White Stripes one, and rubbish "You Cock!" and NME ones.
The Streets is/are on the cover, licking some dollars.
News...or should that be promotions? It's nearly that time again, where the NME put loads of gigs on. The Vines, The Coral, The Streets and The Datsuns are all headlining somewhere or another. "Could Liam be Christmas Number One?", umm, I doubt it. Good tune mind. In other Oasis news, The Bandits, Electric Soft Parade and (oh dearie me) Ocean Colour Scene will support them this month. The Strokes tour has ended, and Julian jumped in the crowd (he did this when I saw them in Manchester earlier this year), which obviously means Nikolai is leaving and they're splitting up, in other words a nothing story. But we do get a picture of Julesy boy. Napster has finally died off. The Osbournes are back! (on American telly), we won't get to see the new series on MTV til next February. Blur are gonna split up (finally). Chris Martin's been writing more secret messages. Jet have signed a record deal with Elektra. Serj from System Of A Down still hates George Bush, and his band just released their new album. 15,000 people have signed the Green Day anti-war petition. OutKast man wants to be in a film. The Coral have filmed a 45 minute tribute to Easy Rider with BMXs, those crazy scallies! Pulp's "Hits" has totally bombed, getting to only 71 in the album charts. P. Diddy's running for President. Kelly Osbourne looks very sweaty, and I still love her. Keith Flint got threatened by a farmer with a gun. Lots of musicians are supporting the firefighters. According to readers, the NME top 100 singles should have included "Don't Look Back In Anger", "Imagine" and "Paranoid Android". Picture of Idlewild, who now all look pretty much identical. Is anyone remotely interested in Audioslave? I know I'm not. Coldplay did a cover of "Barbie Girl", students eh? Jay-Z was headteacher at a school for a day. White Stripes played a gig in (*Count off Sesame Street voice*) Transylvaniaaaa. NME takes Robbie Williams' new album to America; they hate it. Ryan Adams is still having a go at Jack White, this time calling him a "ponce". Primal Scream's greatest hits will come out next year. The "Hot New Band" are The Basement.
The Rapture do Burn It!. Barry White, Bob Dylan, Stevie Wonder, Biz Markie. Not bad.
Wow! They revealed who the owner of "Your Cock" was! And it's......umm, some bloke from that band with the girl who shagged Liam before he got with Patsy Kensit. Disappointing.
The Ravonettes are good. And you can't argue with a "Velvets fetish" and a singer called Sharin Foo.
NME cashes in on Winonagate by pretty much retelling what happened in the Ryder-featuring Courtney Love article from last year. The little shoplifting pixie is downgraded in my most loved famous girl list due to her liking of U2.
The Coral are in New York, which of course means they get photographed in black and white. Sorry, it looks great with The Strokes, but when you're six scousers in ill fitting clothes, it doesn't quite have the same effect.
The Streets, and isn't Mike Skinner a nice lad? Everyone's got a mate like him, and it's nice to see someone like that in the NME.
Album reviews...I really don't get System Of A Down. I heard their last album, and it just makes me laugh. 7. Snoop Dogg gets and 8. Computer games now have their own soundtrack. Grand Theft Auto: Vice City has 7 different CDs of all different kinds of '80s music, and sounds a bit rubbish really, but gets 10.
Single Of The Week is the really quite rubbish Ja Rule. Elton John and Blue, Gareth Gates, The Cheeky Girls and David Gray are a load of shite.
Live Reviews...LCD Soundsystem are still great. Glassjaw aren't very good, but get a positive review. Nickleback were shit in Newcastle (I hope a certain friend of mine is reading this). Ms Dynamite is still NME approved. Avril Lavigne is the devil.
That "take pictures with your phone sponsored by Vodafone" section isn't looking too good, is it? The letters aren't very interesting this week.
Next week, all us lucky indie kids get posters, including Liam and Kelly ones! Yay!
