Yes
If they ditched the Raconteurs, the singer from Texas, Glasvegas and Jools Holland. That guy winds me up.
So ...
Nick Cave TV, then?
I'm in!
The programme would improve massively
if they used guest presenters a la Have I Got News For You?
Or used a new presenter and gave Jools Holland a break.
Or if they let him present it only on the condition he's gagged, his hands are tied behind his back and he is not allowed under any circumstances to play the fucking piano...
jools holland is great
Jools Holland is a legend...
Not only does he "play the fucking piano", but he does so much to promote new music by giving bands and artists a national platform. Thank him, fuck you.
Jooooooooooooooools
is an evil little gnome in an ill-fitting suit, who likes light jazz.
But yeah, from time to time he puts some decent bands on TV. Or his producers do. Or whatever. That REM-only show just after Up came out was good.
Still. Evil gnome.
Yes I cant think of a single artist
who's material would not be improves with a honky tonk piano vamp over it
he always sounds somewhat uncomfortable
when introducing obscure acts with difficult names.
There should be an option on the red button to suddenly change his voice to that of the late great John Peel. So instead of:
'Now please welcome - Apolocalypse Jazz Fork!' with smug delivery you'd get it in deadpan Peel.
I seem to remember Jools introducing Arcade Fire as...
"Arcade Power" the first time they were on - followed by a brief awkward pause followed by a "I mean Arcade FIRE".
Genius.
I also believe that was the time they pretty much murdered a budgerigar on national television...
I don't think it's him per se that gives the band a platform
There's been times when he's slipped up, and at that point it really shows how little he knows about the band.
I'd be astonished if he picks the bands himself.
I'm convinced he's a presenter and a presenter only and the show'd continue just the same without him.
Later with Brian Blessed
would be amazing.
Boris Johnson?
Oh no, he'll be busy.
AAAAAAAAAAAAARGH!
ahahahaha
did you hear about Brian Blessed's wife?
Later with Brian Blessed
made me laugh out loud at work. word.
And Bon Iver!
This has a really great line up in my opinion.
oh oh oh just look at them
so fucking cool
glasvegas is still a terrible name
Fuck lets turn over
or risk watching Mick Hucknall
I really want Danananananananananakroyd to play.
Because I think he will explode if he ever tried to say their name.
Who is he going to play Boogie Woogie piano over this week then?
hucknall
gotta be
let it be Cave
just so that Warren Ellis (who is clearly not playing with a full deck these days) can lamp Jools on the back of the head mid boogie.
if i was Nick Cave or a Bad Seed
i'd be weeping with fury at the total fucking wackness of everyone else around me
jack whites lot just drove me to watch the Hellacopters on youtube
to avoid hearing them - it was a pretty awesome youtube video
^ this
they're too jaded to care about lesser mortals, though
not loving this four piece NC lot
whether or not they've been to Chatham.
Far too smug.
OOOHH Mick Hucknell is ugly. How is he supposed to be a singer. He can barely talk.
Glasvegas thoughts transcribed from those around me
Spot the drummer with breasts! DId you see her!
Like the editors I suppose.
Meh.
(on the high vocals) bit Jamesy
Stadium rock.
are U2 on now?
it's obvious that Glasvegas think that they're
the Clash doing Jesus & Mary Chain.
tits.
Before they were so much better
Okay, that sounds pretentious, but they used to be a 50s-style rock n roll band, complete with "shoop be doops" etc
Far better than all this Jesus & Mary Chain feedback nonsense
my information button says bon iver is playing
but he seems to have been replaced by Mick Hucknall.
A tragic turn for the worse
I'm sure you'll agree.
everyone on tonight's show
without exception, has had stupid hair.
boogie woogie with hucknall
oh jools, you are spoiling us!
to Mick Hucknall blues intro
is this Lovecats?
stop just writing down what we say!
Grrrrrr!
Mick Hucknall's eyes look all tired and jaded
like a weary daschund.
Hucknall
needs to fuck off
I can still see Martine McCutcheon's sick in his hair
AAAAAHAHAHAHAHA!
How do you play the blues when you have no soul?
That was more like the turquoise
and Nick Cave pwns the world
once again
That he does!
I had some of Mick Hucknalls olive oil tonight on my salad leaves. A few people on this board will know what I'm talking about...
good show....
PLUS the Catham County Line finally getting a bit of exposure! Excellent.
ace, aren't they?
they're no Old Crow Medicine Show though...
Jools
Holland is creepy.
and a MASSIVE coke head
allegedly.
glasvegas?
yawn.
The moment I saw the General Studies AS Level teacher on drums, I gave up on them.
.
!Not only does he "play the fucking piano", but he does so much to promote new music by giving bands and artists a national platform. Thank him, fuck you."
Do you honestly think he chooses the bands for his shows? he cant even pronounce half their names
ie "the arcade power....everyone"
He's such a slimy wee twat.
just noticed the arcade power
reference above,again,he's no got a clue.
he's a busy man
and a hero. I think. Personally.
The only thing I will say
about Lord Toad, is that if he ever gets bored with doing this, there will be no live music on the BBC at all.
To be fair, he corrected himself immediately afterwards
and they'd just played 'Power Out'.
Jools rules
The awkwardness is all part of it, like an embarrassing uncle or something. Anyone thinking otherwise just look at the lovable little guy in his oversized shades in the Up The Junction video and try not to smile
so where was bon iver?
everything else was crap, apart from glasvegas who were ok.
mick hucknall and nick cave are easily the two of the most annoying frontmen/musicians ever. with morrissey taking pole position.
If you ever claim that Nick Cave and Mick Hucknall have anything in common ever again
I will take your eyes.
Not if I find him first
Not a word of a lie
Are you having a fucking laugh?
Bon Iver didn't play?!
Nope, and i missed him last night in sheff
I thought i'd get to the Iron & Wine gig early to catch him. Arrived at around 8:15 - he'd already finished. I&W came on at 8:30. What kind of gig time is that?!
For fuck's sake.
He pulled out of the Manchester I&W date on tuesday at the last minute to go and record for Jools.
Seriously pissed off with this.
