Alex! Kind of surprised you weren't all over this from the beginning.

The fact that one of the girls in the video clip looks like Marnie makes me wish it was more like Girls the show.
Also this song could really do with an extended mix.
― Tim F, Saturday, 2 November 2013 14:06 (ten years ago) link
The extended outro is begging for a proper guitar solo tbh.

Thanks for the link. Good interview.

Went to see them again last night in Brixton. Very different from NY. Crowd was almost entirely screaming teenage girls, fanning themselves with excitement.

Would be pretty okay with their whole next album adopting the Chris De Burgh vibe of their cover versions.
― Tim F, Tuesday, 18 February 2014 17:09 (ten years ago) link
i can't even deal with the fact that i saw them last night i can't believe that actually happened they were so amazing i nearly cried it was so life-affirming NEVER GONNA QUIT IT NO WE'RE NEVER GONNA QUIT IT NO
this is still the best album

:-( :-( :-( I missed them when they were here :-( :-( :-(

:( that sucks because omgthey played all of the lp except "menswear" and "is there somebody" + they played "milk" + "you" + "so far (it's alright)" think my favourite moment was the "now that you've got your gun" section in 'robbers'. SO INTENSE.we had queued up for their noon show but didn't get in due to overcapacity and then i was depressed but then i found out they had a show that night as well and it was only $20 and the guy at the door can't do maths and gave me a 21+ wristband so best night and i still can't believe it happened! soooo good. it's insane how important their music has become to me

oh hi I just heard 'Girls' for the first time and I am suddenly ALL ABOUT THESE HERE BOYZ

Their show here sold out before I could get my hands on tickets and a guy was selling a pair for $70. Fuck outta here.

opening spot in the UK?
If so, then as much as I hate to say it, declining was probably a sensible decision
― Tim F, Wednesday, 2 April 2014 12:16 (ten years ago) link
why?
― markers, Wednesday, 2 April 2014 13:35 (ten years ago) link
Because most of the band's fan base would not forgive them for it.
I love The 1975 but I recognise they're the kind of group that would attract a lot of bullshit idiot fans who basically agree with the NME's worldview even if they don't read it.
― Tim F, Wednesday, 2 April 2014 21:00 (ten years ago) link
This band suck colossal donkey dick.
― Toni Braxton-Hicks (Turrican), Wednesday, 2 April 2014 21:54 (ten years ago) link
i don't think the NME even reviewed the album and iirc they were nominated for "worst band" at their awards along with 1D and The Wanted.

I know! And I suspect the band and their management are sensitive to this issue and don't want to stoke the flames of "fake rock sellout" resentment.
Of course I have enjoyed songs from 1D and The Wanted in the last few years more than any other British "rock" band except The 1975.
