  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.
  • We hope the site problems here are now solved, however, if you still have any issues, please start a ticket in Contact Us

Hmm. Not too bad. Certainly danceable. Based on those two songs I could see myself getting into them.

I'm queueing some more of their stuff up to download.

I got into them cos they had a concerted poster campaign round Glasgow, then I noticed that they were on Warp records.

And I'm a fan of Bloc Party too, I just keep hearing people telling me that they don't sound like anyone else.

It's Illinois day, errone. Did you get your copy with the illegal Superman on it? (if you act now, you can get it from Borders, who apparently didn't get the memo).
They must have totally missed the memo, because from what I heard the album release date was pushed back because of the artwork and alot of the copies have been taken out of circulation. So technically, Borders is not only selling the illegal copies, but they are releasing them to the general public before the actual release date.

That said, I am happy that my copy is now probably going to be some sort of collectors item. Pitchfork gave the record a 9.2 and gave a pretty accurate assessment of things. I just feel bad for Asthmatic Kitty Records. They aren't that big of a label and now all of these extra "illegal" copies and a potential lawsuit are not going to help the label's financial situation. I hope it all gets sorted out.

Asthmatic Kitty has given a go-ahead to all the store that have copies of the album with the original artwork to sell them, but the new artwork will not be pressed until August, so if you don't get one of the copies that are already in stores, you're going to have to wait until next month.

I just saw a commercial for M&Ms that had Iron & Wine's cover of Such Great Heights.

^Yeah, and the song was badly edited.
I didn't really notice. I was in the other room when it started playing and it took me a second to put my finger on where I had heard it. And when I realized what it was, it was over.

Do you mean the music timing didn't match the visuals?

I think indie definitely means independent, even though there are many indie artists on major labels. It's not really a sound, although lo-fi and garage come closest... it's more of an aesthetic.

I don't like the idea of indie just being an indie label. cos Britney and Justin are on Jive! lol I think that it is a sound, lo-fi - as you say, under-produced, just defiantly different. hard to describe what it is, but you know it when you hear it, lol.

and btw, do I owe you a reply to a question from a few days ago?

I guess... I don't remember it. I could look back for it, but you know how it goes.
