^^good! sorry wasn't singling you out, just it helps when people are more specific - people these days always say a bit of everything, but it doesn't really communicate much. you have some good bands in there that I like too! some of them I haven't listened to in a while, makes me wanna go and dig them out!

...I can see that if you don't actively take an interest in music, but trust me there is a lot of good new music out there! I think someone mentioned 6music here, but its good place to start listening for pointers.

I also read pitchfork and used to read stylus before it stylus before it closed (preferred stylus). I guess it depends on how much of an interest you have in music, I probs take it more seriously than a lot of people here - actively hunting down stuff!

Oh, I agree there's definately been some good stuff, just a lot of crap to go with it. I do listen to 6 Music every now and again, though I find I tend to listen to BBC 7 more

 

[monkey]

^^yeah they do have quite good comedy re-runs on bbc7 but alas, best not let this thread go off topic lol!
