I saw them in Orlando back in March and couldn't believe how many people were there or how mental the kids were going for it. I was stunned. There are folk here in the UK that know about them but there's no way they'd pull a crowd that big here.

Alvin and the Chipmunks XXV: Chippy Monks

…was a man who thought he was a woman

I really like Everyone Into Position and Frames but I can't argue with that - they really crapped in the face of the mainstream. Their last album was the best they've ever done as far as I'm concerned with an amazing mix of heavy and not so heavy.
You're spot on about One Out Of None, that is a ridiculously good song.

I don't think I've ever seen a guitarist in a band of their stature look so uncomfortable and static on stage as the dude from Clutch. Both times I've seen them he's spent the whole gig staring at his feet. Even shoegaze guitarists have been known to sway from side to side during a set.

Maybeshewill are a superb live act, tight as a gnat's chuff.

Nicola Walker, good as she is in Spooks, will always be "her from The Last Train" in my eyes.

As A Non-Idiot Geordie
This makes me very sad.

Dan? DAN? DAAAAAAN?

And So I Watch You From Afar: Irish post-rock band with some great riffs. My old band (Nod From Afar, a crappy name for a crappy band) supported them on their first ever UK date in 2007. Saw them again early last year and they're still fun to listen to. Nice guys too.

As someone who is currently listening to Limo Wreck from Superunknown, I'm going to agree with CFAmick on this one. There are way better songs and they were THAT good.

"Come the fuck in or fuck the fuck off."

It's easy to forget that there once was a world in which Phil Collins was a decent drummer and hadn't tried to do anything else. I wish I'd been there to see it.

but I still want to sing with you
This album has really wormed it's way into my brain in the last couple of weeks after a cold start. It is fair to say that aside from the closing track, Jupiter, which has a refreshingly slow build up, The Chaos lacks the variations in pace of the debut but it puts a smile on my face…
