NOT my words, but the words of Bournemouth's premier lifestyle magazine aimed at the 18-35 demographic.
The comment was in relation to La Pringle's set in support of Does It Offend You, Yeah? at Bournemouth's positively Barleyesque iBar.
The piece continues......
'A simple act, nothing but a girl, an iPod and a microphone. If you can't say anything nice, then don't say anything at all; she spent most of her set complaining about the microphone. It was like watching a Kate Nash wannabe from the outtakes of X-Factor, the crowd were more embarrassed than she was'.
Rubbished by DV8, it could have been worse, it could have been a media powerhouse like the Dorset Echo!
*gets popcorn*
*pulls up seat*

:D
There's a venue called the iBar
and right thinking people haven't yet clubbed together to firebomb it?
It's actually quite nice,
it's owned by the inventor of the computer game Worms. He's about 28 and semi-retired which is nice for him.
worms has subtle yo la tengo references in it
woo!
fantastic.
utterly fantastic.
we all love garageband 'ere mate.
can't stand her
yawn, will be a fad for about five minutes, in a year or two no one will even remember she exists...
The thing is...........
I only ever hear about her on DiS, so to read someting about her IRL is a bit of a bizarre forum/reality crossover for me.
She seems no more real to me than Craig Foley!
Maybe she's just an elaborate Craig Foley creation
Kind of like DogFukka, only for music.
In which case, if finding Craig Foley attractive is wrong
....I don't want to be right!
Sexist.
WHY ARE YOU BEING SO SEXIST?
Is craigfoley sexist?
What's wrong with being sexy?
spinaltapcentric.
Craig Foley is an old fashioned romantic, he's certainly exceptionally keen to invite women to dinner.
shes horrible
sounds like.... vomit
was in
that wierd B Plan zine thingy a few fortnights ago... x
"DV8"? Niiiiice.
d'yer geddit?!
Their 'journalists' are like the staff of a Tesco Value sugaRAPE.
In my old school we had a magazine called DB8
true story
Seems like
the paper hasn't "got her" yet. As you know, that's the problem, people havn't "got her" yet. The poeple have been unable to "get her".
I played some of her stuff to my Ex cos I thought she would like it
and she told me Pringle was a bit annoying.
I once
resolved not to go out with anyone who didn't like Joanna Newsom. It's making me feel better about never going out with anyone.
I might take up this tactic
for the same reasons.
i think
someone at work is pretending to like merzbow just because they fancy me.
hahah
well fair play to them, I think you are in there.
I had to google Merzbow
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QbBBczzDeCA you are definatly in there.
I don't think
she's a really a live act to be fair, and that was a pretty bad set as it was due to the sound guy and pre pubescent audience.
My band was reviewed in the Dorset Echo once, it was honestly one of the happiest days of my life!
i saw her support DIOYY? in bristol.
it wasn't great. and it definitely wasn't appropriate for the crowd. They were crowdsurfing and throwing pints of beer across the room.
It would seem that none of us get it!
I have yet to identify her target demographic, do they exist?
Yes
George Pringle is all about the Editors Of Popular Music-Based Websites Noted Mostly For Their Forums demographic.
This demographic also includes
founders.
I should just have said 'Founders'.
It's a bit of a niche market to be fair!
^^
the niche market strategy only works if there's someone (preferably plural) at the receiving end of said niche.
All...
sounds a bit like a bored, vapid middle class girl bemoaning that her life is boring, vapid and middle class, which, for some reason, doesn't really appeal.
^^
there's already too many!
My favourite quote
"she features in a forthcoming Guardian article highlighting women who are all tipped to make it big in 2007."
Has a boat been missed somewhere?
'Beautiful disgrace'??!!!
OH MY GOD HOW DARE THEY EVEN SAY THAT??!!!!?! !
SO FUCKING SEXIST..
