Laughable Music News

I've only heard one of their songs - this one - which actually OK, though I have no desire to hear any of their other stuff.

The Cribs - Men's Needs

The singer looks like a bit of a twat and I think that he's going out with Kate Nash, so it would be an automatic fail if that's true.

Really rather shocking music news:

Fuck.

Christ almighty. No wonder she turned to the skag.. There's some rather disturbing bits about her in Danny Sugerman's book "Wonderland Ave", too.

[The Widow of Brid]

Ah, the Daily Mail comments section. Where the only proper response to 'I blacked out and woke up in the middle of being raped' is 'slut!'.

I know it's no surprise that the comments section there is horrific, but the amount of people literally posting 'He's bad for abusing her, but she is worse for telling people' is genuinely upsetting.

Kind of vereed off the 'Laughable' bit of the title....

She's not the only music rape reported this week - I know many of you like this phrase, so you'll be pleased to hear one of the UK's most-loved bands have made it their new album title:

Mackenize has also recently said that Mick Jagger 'seduced' her when she was 18.

Quite a few years ago, there was a news story about Mackenzie where she claimed that Jagger had sex with her when she was 15 – from what I remember her father had popped out to get some tuna and Jagger locked the door, so they wouldn't be 'interrupted'.

In the latest reports, she claimed Jagger said "I've been waiting for this since you were 10 years old." – there was a quote that was very similar in the newspaper report.

So is it obligatory for every band to reform at some point now?

I can only recall one hit of theirs but apparently they released three albums.

[trotsky assortment]

I don't think that 3rd album came out...

To spruce up his home town of Warracknabeal, Nick Cave is (or was) planning on building a gold statue of himself naked on horseback.

Hoax, apparently: http://www.digitalspy.co.uk/music/a180003/bwitched-become-victims-of-reunion-hoax.html

Posts on a social networking site claiming that B*Witched were to reform were a hoax, it has been confirmed.

Yesterday a Twitter account in the name of group member Edele Lynch claimed that the Irish girlband were planning a 2010 reunion without original member Siobhan O'Carroll.

However, Edele and sister Keavy have since insisted that the Twitter account is a fake.

"THIS IS NOT TRUE! Please do not listen to any of it. You will get the truth from us here," they told Buzzjack via their MySpace page.

The Lynch sisters also revealed that they have set up their own Twitter account to put off impostors.

"We set up one this morning called KeavyandEdele, this one is us!!!! No-one else is!!!! Terrible when someone pretends to be you!" they said.

The NME article doesn't seem to be able to make it's mind up whether Cave was joking or not.

They should've tried to have a go at Smith & Jones instead. But then they'd have had to provide an explanation as to who Mel Smith was, and why he was with 'the boat bloke', for the simple children who tuned in.

They were huge back in the day and had lots of hits reminders? ok so.

I thought they were really underrated when it came to wanking material when I was younger, apart from the lead singer obviously.

[Jemble Fred]

What are y'loike?

[boxofslice]

I only remember that middle one.

[Morrisfan82]

Didn't they hold some record for having their first <x> singles go straight to number one or something?

I think the Boyzone connection had much to do with it (as it did with Westlife), who were enjoying a Take That-free run of success at the time.

In a moneyspinning bath of super-diluted sausage factory shit for cunt children.

More Lego:



I've just spent about 10 minutes trying to think of a suitable pun - I won't even share the best I could come up with.

Edit:  Feat. Graham Blockson?

Nope.

[Cambrian Times]

This is a Leg-ow?

I'd love to see a Pulp one.

More money than sense, some people:
Elvis's quiff sells for $15,000

Speaking of quiffs, this week's NME cover:



Radiohead, Muse, Coldplay, etc. unavailable for comment.

[El Unicornio, mang]

I think the Guardian summed it up well when they said that Kasabian have basically made an entire career out of copying XTRMNTR by Primal Scream

[Shoulders?-Stomach!]

And one day as unpalatable as it seems, a band who try and sound like Kasabian will be successful. That's pop music.

[Ignatius_S]

For a moment, I thought that was the very lovely and very talented Noel Fielding... which shows that I've certainly got my thumb on the pulse.

However.... there was a news story saying the Boosh are planning a movie and an album.

[turnstyle]

Jesus, they've been airbrushed within an inch of their talentless lives.

In my day the NME cover shot was a thing of warts-and-all 'beauty'. Especially if Shaun Ryder was making an appearance.

Christopher Lee has recorded a heavy metal concept album about Charlemagne:

ACT III: The Bloody Verdict of Verden

"I shed the blood of the Saxon MEN!"

[mycroft]

That is the single greatest thing I have seen in my life.
