This is the kind of hack who if they sent her to Oxford would mention that it was poetically known as the city of dreaming spires.

"poetically known" ;_;

Many's the time when I've taken my life in my hands and ventured into the INFAMOUS newsagent's at the junction with Soho's INFAMOUS Broadwick Street to purchase a can of R White's INFAMOUS Lemonade!

Dingbod Kesterson, Monday, 28 July 2008 12:33 (fifteen years ago) link

In Berwick Street's INFAMOUS Selectadisc indie record shop, which has been going strong since 1927, you can buy that INFAMOUS "rap" album for as little as a FIVER!!

The Independent obviously are unaware of price comparison websites:

God, it's like having a red-light district is a bad thing!

Just got offed, Monday, 28 July 2008 12:36 (fifteen years ago) link

It's a total waste of effort - most Independent readers are more interested in finding replacement needles for their Bush radiograms.

Dingbod Kesterson, Monday, 28 July 2008 12:38 (fifteen years ago) link

Also: "National chain Music and Video Exchange"????

"Gomez are to release a 10th Anniversary Edition of their Mercury Prize-winning debut of 1998, Bring It On.

The new version of the much-acclaimed record will feature bonus material including b-sides from the era and BBC session tracks never previously released.

The special-edition album - released on two discs - will be yours to own from August 25."

The Independent should do a piece where their reporter trawls the secondhand record shops of London's infamous Berwick Street trying to see if she can get £30 for the 12 nominees from 10 years ago.

It's good they're marking this momentous occasion, I was considering petitioning my local MP to mark it with a parade or street party, or maybe going right to Gordon Brown to request an extra public holiday.

Matt DC, Monday, 28 July 2008 13:44 (fifteen years ago) link

God knows I've already festooned my stereo with bunting.

NickB, Monday, 28 July 2008 13:49 (fifteen years ago) link

Well that was all very entertaining & sporadically interesting NOT LIKE THE MERCURY MUSIC PRIZE.

I wish Dorian L would post here more.

Except I have never listened to Diamond Head (voluntarily anyway)

Your loss. "Am I Evil" is a cracking track, "Canterbury" a v v under-rated & inventive album. They were a great live band too.

Pashmina, Monday, 28 July 2008 13:57 (fifteen years ago) link

Dorian L playing Cuthbert Cringeworthy to the LBZC's Bash Steet Kids = a good look, imo

Haha I've only just seen that last Martian post... astonishing. Nothing says Motorhead quite like 'lickety-split'.

Matt DC, Monday, 28 July 2008 14:07 (fifteen years ago) link

Sorry, all I'm getting from that is "blb blb playing lb blb lblb lblbll blb to LBZC's blb blbllbb blblb = a good look imo" (xpost)

Pashmina, Monday, 28 July 2008 14:08 (fifteen years ago) link

Is that a bit of cricket commentary?

I shouted at LJ on Saturday night for using the phrase 'LBZC' in real world conversation.

Matt DC, Monday, 28 July 2008 14:13 (fifteen years ago) link

Anyway back to the matter at hand:

Not as easy as it looks, is it?

In next week's Independent, Swashy Trainee combs London's INFAMOUS Berwick Street in an attempt to buy ANY of the tunes INFAMOUS "rap" DJ Tim Westwood is currently playing on his INFAMOUS Radio 1 show for less than £30 EACH.

Dingbod Kesterson, Monday, 28 July 2008 14:44 (fifteen years ago) link

the first real-life LZBC meet-up should probably occur at the Bring It On re-release launch party

Just got offed, Monday, 28 July 2008 15:16 (fifteen years ago) link

we gotta make sure matt dc doesn't turn up and pull some IRL moderation shit on us like he did the other night

Just got offed, Monday, 28 July 2008 15:18 (fifteen years ago) link

Did he really? How distasteful.

In next week's Independent, Eazy Libra attempts to persuade INFAMOUS internet music message board contributor Geir Hongro to like any of the 12 shortlisted albums.

Jagz watch out, Lex will call for moderation and stricken records for bringing the outside into this thread.

This thread won't have ticked off all the ILX i-spies till it's locked.

Raw Patrick, Monday, 28 July 2008 22:47 (fifteen years ago) link

What you do mean by "i-spies," Patrick?

Dingbod Kesterson, Tuesday, 29 July 2008 08:28 (fifteen years ago) link

I meant it won't have completed everything in the I-Spy Book of ILM Threads but I wrote it in a completely stupid manner cuz I'd been drinking.
