Album of the week

Sydney Daily Telegraph on 31.3.5 4.5 out of 5 New Order's best album since Technique.

New Weekly (trashy woman's mag) 5 out of 5.

The Sunday Herald Sun, a (spit!) tabloid newspaper gave it 4 and a half out of 5.

I wonder if that Herald Sun review isn't the same as the Telegraph one, just syndicated? I won't include it in the averages unless you find out otherwise.

By the way yokels, the next issue of international Sound on Sound (Mar), due in newsstands shortly, is the one that features the extensive Hague interview on the making of True Faith.

You're right. All the Murdoch papers could have the same review. Without retyping the Tele's review, It is written by Kathy McCabe, and starts:

" While Franz Ferdinand, the Killers and the Bravery were having the back catalogue of New Order fused to their musical DNA.....

(and ends)

New Order not only survive but thrive on their eight album, a spectacular collection of new material, which sounds exactely like their old stuff. "

That's the one Ron, the Telegraph and the Herald Sun are one and the same and i think they gave it 5 out of 5.

Well, if there's going to be widely syndicated review, it's nice that it's 5 out of 5, instead of something lower.

That it is Patrick, but i wouldn't put too much into it as they are all a talentess bunch of bastards.

I'm sure you're right about that, BL.

Would you trust a tabloid Patrick? (the album is fucken brilliant, by the way).

Probably not, BL. I too am getting quite a bit of pleasure from WFTSC.

I think I can safely say that I have never purchased, read, or otherwise been associated with a tabloid. And once again I fully endorse the WFTSC comment.

I fucken love you for that Patrick.

Steady on!

NObabe is online.

It's not like that Mr Charge.

I do what I can, BL.

P, would you ever contemplate a re-name from Patrick to Daddy Smooth?

But you could do so much more Patrick.

How's that WFTSC review coming, H?

Probably so, BL. What did you have in mind?

Not what Mr Charge has in mind.

Is that a mike stand on your avatar or are you just happy to see Pats?

Oh stop it Depth you're killing me. It is in fact Ian's mike stand. By the way Depth what are you and me doing up at 1:30 in the morning?

He has a few recurring themes.

Buffy, where are you precisely? There's a hell of a lot of sand between you and me I suspect - I'm two hours behind. Although, perhaps you and CTB could hook up for a kebab in Carlton, he still seems in good spirit and has never been known to deny himself a late-night lamb sandwich.

Sometimes, I wonder if DC isn't actually lord death, capable of sleep only during daylight.

Well, I'm quite partial - but I'll leave the decision in Buffler's hands. I've often admired Buffler's work, actually.

The assertion that I consume middle-eastern flatbread-encased rotisseried ovine products is not far from the mark, but only if the Subway is closed. And only Carlton as it's close to work and within stumbling distance from the Pumphouse. CTB

Well, you know, H he has to adjust his schedule to accommodate us.

Your right P, I think the UK contingent has it just swell:

The US roster requires postal duty between the hours of 3am annd 10am whilst the Aussies must keep with a diet of 11pm - 3am.

Sometimes, I can scarcely be bothered contributing before my elevenses of scones and tea - and I can't recall the last time I logged myself en route past the witching hour. Why, that would be simply freakish.
