just in case you needed a laugh...
 

this weeks NME countsdown "the top 50 albums of 06"... my jesus this is hilarious, Gnarls Barkley, Arctic Monkeys and My Chemical Romance all making it to the top ten, i laughed so hard reading the magazine in the local newsagents that i dropped it into the puddle of piss that i had made unknows to myself thru my laughing.

needless to say the shopkeeper wasnt impressed.

this magazine is so far up Muse's arse these days that the noncy-ass singer must have some sort of blockage in his throat.

I picked up a copy from the mid 80s,recently, that had reviewes of (amongst others) Plastic People Of The Universe and Diamanda Galas.That issue is from 300 years ago,obviously.

mmmmmmmm, autolux.

is that last years?

yeah, can't find this years.

Here's the top ten. Depressing is the word

10 My Chemical Romance- The Black Parade
9 Kasabian- Empire
8 The Strokes- First Impressions Of Earth
7 The Long Blondes- Someone To Drive You Home
6 Gnarls Barkley- St Elsewhere
5 CSS- Cansei De Ser Sexy
4 Hot Chip- The Warning
3 Muse- Black Holes And Revelations
2 Yeah Yeah Yeahs- Show Your Bones
1 Arctic Monkeys- Whatever People Say I Am, Thats What I'm Not

yes

I hate Muse, I don't see what people like about that band.

I think the new My Chemical Romance CD surprised everyone in how non-emo it was. It was such a big improvement, it caught NME offguard and they accidentally put My Chemical Romance as number 10.

The Yeah, Yeah, Yeahs album didn't do anything for me when this chick I knew got it.

I gave the Artic Monkeys a listen, because I wanted to believe the hype, but it was pure garbage.

And the Strokes album only has one good song.

I only like the first single off the artic monkeys.

Looks like a good list for my next mix tape.
