I think you mean "cojones" [/b]

you say cojones I say kahuna's...let's call the whole thing off! [/b]

You should say cojones, it sounds tougher. You need all the tough you can get.

You've spent far too long in America.  Your review should have read...
 
 I drank a pint while listening to this.  I preferred the pint.

I stopped needing tough after I turned 16.

 That's what the mancunian in me wanted to write....I was just trying to be more diplomatic for Redsock.

Either you have a stereo in your bathroom or you walk around with headphones on all day.

At least my girlfriend has the voice of an angel. I'd prefer taking a dump over listening to the guys in the band jam out too.

See, we kind of agree...your girlfriend is being held back by the band IMHO...

Well, I would say that some of the styles incorporated by the rest of the band could be better...but she would argue that is what compromise is all about...

Besides, we need reviews written about good music. Not sure your tastes (Waterboys, cough, cough) really cut it.

You must be very young.

[Charlie Nakatestes, Japanese Golfer]

Positive reviews are borrrrrrrring. I for one would love to read Mankie's trashing of various albums, assuming they are well written and offer cogent arguments. Hell, I'd even enjoy him trashing stuff I like if he makes a good argument.

HUH! What's the point in reviewing it if it's all good...isn't that the whole point of reviews???
 [/b]

Allow me to correct myself...we need reviews written about music that we anticipate might be good, by bands we know to put out good music, with a sound we think has a good chance to be good. Your taste in music makes me think at least half of your CD collection doesn't fit that mold. Which means your reviews might speak highly of shit, while giving no respect to the good stuff. [/b]

No, not at all...if you referring to my dislike for everything I've heard from Mike Scott and crew, that has everything to do with my taste, not my age. Mankie's love for the Beautiful South, another band I tried and hated, futhers my feelings on the above issue. Again, nothing to do with my age. I love and appreciate plenty of bands whose careers ended before the Waterboys' began.

[redsock]

I agree, negative reviews are necessary. Everything isn't good music, lord knows. What originally started with sarcasm, on his part, apparently has become something more than that. If Mankie really wants to participate, he's more than welcome.

Well if you hate a.) The Beautiful South and b.) The Waterboys...you obviously have no respect for a). great lyrics and b.) great musicians, which explains your love for Exit Clov. I suppose the fact you're knobbing the singer doesn't do any harm either!

reviews sure to be littered with "doodle" "footie" and "america not good"
