  1. This is a weird thought -- which might mean it would be effective. They've placed the race card, gender card, age card, all manner of negative campaigning. Has anyone ever tried to play a humorous ad campaign for an elected office (other than Robin Williams, Pat Paulson and, unintentionally, Ross Perot)? I don't mean silly party silly, but using a sophisticated Daily Show to point out indescrepencies like these in a candidates bytes

     

    Although not put out in candidate bytes, if I ever see a better political campaign message than this I will be an extremely happy man

     

  2. funniest and, quite frankly, the most (if not only) politically releant show on TV. period. another moment of brilliance.

     

    I always think it's kind of sad that the best U.S. political show and pretty much the only decent one that I've seen has to be dressed up as a comedy to get the majority of Americans to watch it so they can get their point across. Don't get me wrong, the John Daily Show is brilliant, but compared to some of the coverage you get on the BBC, Paxman in particular, it just pales in comparison.

     

    I also love the way the best political commentator in the U.S. was in Jay and Silent Bob Stike Back

  3. I don't see what's wrong with the term apart from being Lazy journalism. Radiohead are a very unique band (as are Wilco) and Wilco are probably the closest thing to them that America has produced in the same time line, hence the American Radiohead and seeing that Radiohead are the bigger out of the two of them it's natural that it would be the American Radiohead and not the British Wilco.

     

    If anything, the only purpose the comments serves is to intoduce Radiohead fans to Wilco

  4. Might check it out. What type of music do you play and when will you know if you are playing more dates in Dublin? As for Temple Bar, it's not the best, just full of English louts on Stag parties, nice if you wanna pull some cheap English bird, otherwise, move to other areas of town. I'd recommend Whelans on Campden Street (? could be wrong)

  5. Federer is a dominator, but somewhat boring at the same time. (but of course his matches with Nadal on clay have been phenomenal) He's sort of like Michael Schumacher - he's the best but he's almost a bit of a robot. Nadal, on the other hand, is all fire and passion -- a much more exciting player to watch, at least on my television.

     

    Very harsh on Federer, the only reason that he seemed so boring in the past is that there was nobody near his level for three years. Far from being a robot, he is trying to introduce some elements of serve and volleying into his game to keep it fresh and when you see him against Nadal, he just looks a very classy player as opposed to Nadal who just belts the ball and himself around the court.

     

    I do think that Borg as the best ever is impossible to dispute, mainly because he retired so early he didn't have a bad period

  7. I share your pain lads. It's quite ball breaking when your favourite band are playing what is traditionally a great festival (been there once and can confirm) and they fuck it up with a shocking line up which means there's no justification to spend the money. Very very annoyed

  8. All around the World/ All around the World Reprise

    Be Here Now, Oasis

  9. How so?

     

    I wouldn't even hazard a guess as to who the greatest band in the world is, but, I'd be more than willing to guess who isn't - Oasis.

    I you asked Britons and Irish who was the greatest band of the 90's Oasis would win undoubtably. They just have a lot of great songs to sing when you're plastered or watching football which happens alot more here

  10. Considering that most Metal bands struggle with consistency I'd put Metallica top. Just feel that they have more to them than most Metal bands and a bigger and better back catalogue. I even liked St. Anger.

     

    Honoury mention for Spinal Tap

  11. Some odd choices, most definatley would not fly in the USA! Some bands aren't faring well! Also Oasis is ranked number 1 over the Beatles! :punch

     

    It's hard for an American to understand just how great Oasis are. It's not just the songs but the whole attitude. Also, football anthems would be hard to understand on the other side of the pond

  12. Before it came back into rotation i'd say too far apart was up there being the last song on the least appreciated and listened to album but I'd say something from Mermaid Avenue is definitely on top
