Playlouder - Music is the Network

I saw the title and thought "ooh, I didn't know she had a new one out". By the end of the article, I felt I learned something and probably won't even bother listening to it.

Like zombiehamster, I quite liked her first one, but this line particularly struck me: "if you can listen to an album by an artist whom you respect and still feel that it is awful, then there must be something wrong."

I've felt that with waaay too many albums before to be sucked in again.

I missed the quote marks

"Joan As Police Woman to survive Album Review"

let's hope she does

although, in actual fact i'm pretty indifferent

Gosh, thanks Melissa for the kind words about the review. I gave this album over a week before I committed anything to type so that it would have time to familiarise itself. It was disappointing then, when it actually turned out to be pretty horrendous. Shame really.

Tis a shame, but you've got to call 'em hows you see 'em and hope the next album's an improvement.

Exactly!! On the upside, Antony Hegarty's recent work on Hurcules & Love Affair is an album that is well worth investigating!

(Hercules) - Sorry

oh totally, it's awesome. Did anyone make it to their gig yesterday? great shame i missed it

he does that Donna Summer-ish Disco Diva thing incredibly well.

He certainly does, I would have loved to see them. I think it's a wicked record, the "Blind" single is one of the best tracks that I have heard so far this year!

I would never have imagined that Antony would go so well with Tim Goldsworthy/DFA beats. They compliment each other so well, it's all very New York Cool, but it does it exceptionally.

hercules and love affair are great, saw them at warehouse projects in manc....nice setting!

Nice! Was the full group there or was it just Andy Butler? I haven't heard any live reports yet so I am curious.

cant remember to be honest mate, was well on my way by then

actually i do recall seeing several members jumping about so probably!

sweet

Thanks!!
