  1. I like their new song, I love the way how they absorb musical influences from the past so they sound slightly retro, but in no doubt, a modern band. Saying that though, I was very disappointed by "Hot Fuss" as the second half of the album was generally atrocious (with the exception of "On Top" and the rousing ending to "Andy You're a Star"). Let's hope they can craft an entire album of fantastic songs this time.
  2. Fade to Scarlet This is a new band I've found on myspace, they've only got one track up but it sounds like they've got a bit of promise; http://www.myspace.com/fadetoscarlet Their song Roll the Dice is kinda a mellow mid paced song, think My Heart (without the screaming bit), Hallelujah or even Here we Go Again.
  3. Only heard a few songs from them, there was one huge epic song they did which was fantastic, I think it was called "From now and here on after" or something.
  4. I have many bitter experiences to share... But I'm in a relatively good mood today so I'll share a not so bitter one; Anyway back in High School, there was a girl I liked. We got along quite well as friends, but she got along better with the others in the group. Also it didn't help matters that I was a bit of an awkward nerd. Anyway I saw her again a couple of weeks ago to celebrate a mutual friends birthday, I know she had a boyfriend now (who wasn't present) and was very happy, but I thought I may as well try and work some charm just to make me feel better about myself and see if I had advanced from an awkward nerd to a sauve nerd Anyway it was working quite well, I was pretty much on form and making people laugh and stuff... then all of a sudden out of the blue of she asks me, in front of everyone..... "Are you gay????" I was like... "eh???" All my mates started laughing, and she became quite embarassed at her sudden outburst "so I take that reaction as a no then I take it?" I just found it quite funny... although I'm slightly worried about what made her think that, I decided not to press the issue though.
  5. Bad news, last I heard I think they've disbanded... well if it's the same Best Interest I've listened to in the past.

  7. I just saw that too, awesome movie. I cried. Yeah, I don't want to sound too pretentious, but I'm just tired of the same old hollywood formula, half the stuff that comes out nowadays are sequels or remakes. It's just refreshing to watch some films which actually have some new ideas, concepts and doesn't result in a predictable yarn.
  8. It's on his myspace site, just scroll down a little and you'll find it
  9. Just saw the Music video for "Knights of The Island Counter" Pretty nice concept, despite the obvious low budget.... shame the video ended a bit too soon for me... you'll know what I mean if you watch it ^__^
  10. Well she is the more famous Boa...
  11. I've heard a few of his songs, Sam's Song is absolutely fantastic and something about "Knights" is a nice song too
  12. Personally I think the term emo may have had a meaning at the beginning, much like the term punk had a meaning in it's birth. Nowadays it seems that the term is used by slightly pretentious music fans who use it to distance themselves from bands who they suddenly deem to have become too commercial or have "sold out" once they achieve a hint of success or mainstream play. Maybe that's just my cynicism speaking though.
  13. New album "Black Holes & Revelations" out 3rd July in the UK (11th in the US). Anyone else looking forward to their new stuff?
  14. Watched "Thank You For Smoking" yesterday, really funny film. The guy from the OC, I forget his name, stole the show though in his 2 minute segement Just wondering, is anyone else other than me a big fan of indie films?
