Great post. Especially 3. And yes, Owen is a great signing, obviously.

Owen's lost his pace/change of pace, it would surprise me if he was anything but "adequate". Could be a decent super-sub, though.

5; Circumcision - is it barbaric or is it nobody else's business? This is my favourite point.

I think Regina's new one is ace, I like that it has nowt to do with "alternative" music but she still doesn't really sound like anyone in the mainstream markets she's obviously being pushed toward. It doesn't fall into blandness as often as Begin To Hope did. I think she's learned to make a lush mainstream production work for her rather than against her. She's too much of a unique and refreshing talent for the indie ghetto, and if it takes a lick of paint to get her still very singular and imaginative songs a wider audience, I can't say I give two shits, to be honest.
I mean production by Jeff Lynne= instant win, surely? It's even cock-er-ney rhyming slang.
Laughing With however has been totally ruined for me since someone pointed out how alike that 'what if god was one of us? Just a slob like one of us.. just a stranger on the bus" song it is.

Too bad he's not nominated. It is a shame; The Bachelor really is amazing. I've had it playing non-stop since I first played it.
No time to read through this thread, but it seems there's a lot of discussion so sorry for being so vague.

I love her new album My favourite song is Dance Anthem of the 80s

Personally I think Human Of The Year is a bit of masterpiece.

his first two albums being so much better than the last two are nasty little regressive indie suicide pillocks. Maybe. Or maybe I'm just BEING AS UNREASONABLE AS YOU ARE ABOUT THE BACHELOR. I think it's great, and I know lots of other people whose opinions I respect who think so too. I know plenty of people who don't like it, either, but most of them dislike it for (see point 1;). Well THANKS for that comment that is directed purely at me, because no-one else said that... Actually, I love The Magic Position to pieces, just marginally less than Lycanthropy and WITW. And if I don't think the Bachelor is as good, then... well.... um. So? So I think it makes sense that it didn't get an award, when all the others didn't either. So what? In conclusion, you don't even know me, and if you did, you'd know that you're incredibly sensitive(!) and balanced little summary there was completely inaccurate and uncalled for. Ps. I don't think there's any place on the wolfboard for posters who go round calling other posters "nasty little regressive indie suicide pillocks".

WHOAH I didn't realise Lisa was up for the award! (I should have actually read the list...) I love her so much! She deserves it, hands down. I've had her album on constantly since I first got it. And she just MADE Damien Rice, too. His music will never be the same again... sniff, etc.

Actually, unless you've changed your username since the initial threads about The Bachelor when it leaked months ago, it's not directed at you at all; I read & post sporadically, and I've never noticed your username before. But I do remember SEVERAL people bemoaning and bitching about The Bachelor being overproduced and schmaltzy etc etc, and it is them towards whom that remark is addressed, not you. My incredibly sensitive and balanced little summary, therefore, wasn't of you at all. I'll admit I've not listened to the Regina album massively yet, but I think Begin To Hope is a terrific record, and I fucking hate Jacknife Lee. Jeff Lynne I have no problem with whatsoever, good lord no. Going for mainstream success / crossover I also have no problem with at all. What I have a problem with is bad record production, which Jacknife Lee is great at! The vocal sound on the songs he did is horrific. 17; Very glad that Kenneth has left the BB house, although disappointed that he took the coward's way by escaping rather than waiting for it to b revealed that he got about 65% of the public vote because he's an awful misogynist toff wanker. 18; Going to the dentist today for the first time since my wisdom teeth came out three weeks ago.

His music will never be the same again... sniff, etc. this is true. between herself and vyvienne long, they pretty much created the sound that made him the big name he is. when he's left to his own devices he comes out with the trollope that is the reggae version of volcano, or the "i'm really a rock guitarist" dirge he tried to throw onto his "second album" of b sides and other tracks that didn't make the grade on his first album 4 years earlier.... ahem. bitter? me? what? lisa is amaze.

And I do believe Vyvienne Long, and the original Damien Rice drummer (Tomo?) are both in the credits for Lisa's album, too, which might explain some of the genius Actually, unless you've changed your username since the initial threads about The Bachelor when it leaked months ago, it's not directed at you at all; I read & post sporadically, and I've never noticed your username before.

My incredibly sensitive and balanced little summary, therefore, wasn't of you at all. I'm the only one in this thread who said something about the first two albums being better, which is what you picked up on, but you're right, other people have said they don't like The Bachelor too. And I actually did just change my username yesterday, but hey. I can kind of relate, because I never note the username of the person I'm replying to.
