For anyone who is a fan of Tame Impala, tehy finished their second album today. Should be out later this year. I for one, am very excited
 
No other festival compares to Glastonbury, the size of it, there is just so much to do. It caters for everyone.

From what I've seen and been told 2 of this years Reading headliners will be the 2 bands that won the Best Band awards at the NME awards.

I'm a bit of a fan although when i last saw them at the UEA in Norwich i was pretty disappointed by the performance. Dont know why. Think i was brought down by the missus and my mate who werent fans. They were supported by Tom Morello in his Nightacochman guise. Prefer their older stuff really, has a bit more edge to it. The newest album was a bit lame in my opinion.

i've only got one of their albums, Appeal To Reason which I really like. I take it their earlier stuff is much heavier, that's usually the case.

Ever tried Nick Warren "Back 2 Mine"

Flawless masterpiece

It kicks of with a stunning Talismantra track, and the Jam & Spoon remix of Moby Go, is genius

Yeah i hate saying it because its always "the thing" to say with bands. As they get more popular they become more commerical blah blah blah but in Rise Against's case to me it really is true. They're anti-government, anti war etc etc etc yet without the grittitness to the music the stuff they sing about doesnt have the same oomph to it. I'd give Revolutions per minute, Siren Song of The Counter Culture and Suffer and The Witness a listen if you like Appeal to Reason (this is when they started to become cleaner). Their earlier albums are slightly heavier (The Unravelling and EPs). The newest album Endgame seems to me like they are protesting from a rocking chair on their front porch. They believe in what they've sung about previously but they really cant be assed to do anything about it anymore and have just given up.

Ok I'll definitely give those albums you suggested a try. Judging by some of the reviews, the earlier stuff is much better. I think it's fair to say the band aren't big fans of George Bush. Audience Of One is a great track! It must be difficult for punk bands, they either stay true to their roots, or they make the decision to try and become more accesible to the mainstream and risk alienating the fans who liked them from the very beginning. I cant say I blame bands for looking to sell more albums which makes them more financially secure. There will always be bands who will say fudge you to the mainstream, good on those bands too!

Yes, that's a true classic

Loved Warren's earlier stuff but lost track of him lately


EDIT: His GU series are also great if you're ever interested. 035 especially
