As for seeing them live, I really wouldn't bother. She's extremely charismatic and has lots of presence, but their sound is just really flimsy and lightweight.

There's a really shit "presence peak" joke to be made here.

Am I the only person who thought Fever To Tell was an *enormously* disappointing album after the early singles?

I was a bit late to the party, only got into them a few months after Fever To Tell had been out. What was on the early singles? I've got a few EPs' - Machine, Pin and the self titled one, not sure if they were released before the album though, yaaaarrrrrr.

Shame, I could do with booking some gig tickets, there's not much else coming up at the moment. Cheers for the warning anyway.

So that's what Louis Theroux's been up to.

Just picked up the new Uncut, for score fans the YYY's album gets 4/5. Flaming Lips are on the cover, interviews with Morrissey (album - 3/5), Tommy Lee Jones and Bill Wyman, Chris Penn Obituary, Libertines photo feature, Top 50 Cosmic American albums list, and some pointless fucking drivel about the frigging bastard Beatles, again.

Finally got round to listening to the actual album, rather than just the downloaded mp3's and I'm delighted to say that not only has this got better and deeper with time but it also has an extra 'bonus' track, 'Deja Vu', which is bloody ace.

They're also on the cover of this months Plan B:

Marc Almond has never looked so hot.

Agreed - Turn Into, Cheated Hearts and Dudley (in that order) stand out a mile from the rest, which are pretty much Yeahs-by-numbers.

Also:

Oh baby.

Have to say this album bored the tits off me. The first album had some rather brilliant song writing, buzzsaw riffs and incredibly raw sexy vocals. The follow up has matured in all the wrong ways. They don't have the tunes and the vocals are just pure blandness.

edit: ahh, I could look at Karen O pics all day.

Gah I can't stop listening to Fever to Tell and this back to back.

Help me.

I like the forthcoming new one "Is Is", video clip here:

They're sounding perilously close to The Black Angels now which is obviously all part of the great cosmic master plan.
