Big Hands is a brilliant pub, had no idea they had anything to do with it. Like them more now.

I have just image searched the biggest Hyperdub logo I could find and put it as my desktop at work as my own little private homage.

that's imran ahmed, he used to be features editor at nme and now a and rs for xl. I know he was a garage fan and he likes burial a lot. He's a friend of mine so I'll ask him what he meant by that.

well, i'm not making an assumption they're big name (i mean, google the lyrics to untrue, you don't have to be master sleuth). being cleared would explain why nothing's happened but can't imagine it being financially viable... anyway

I'm no fan of awards so if I'd been a judge I'd have given it to Elbow, they looked like they wanted it more than anyone in the room, they bothered to turn up and play it was clearly a big deal for them.

is that the forum version of having it drunkenly tattoed on your arse?
First I heard of Elbow was them covering Destiny's Child in a kinda Northern pub band style... and the rathergood.com Flash video phenomenon that made it huge on the web before the rise of Youtube. Pissed-on-by-Nathan-Barley type nonsense.

I understand they're not normally like this.

Darned cockwombles.
Elbow seem inoffensive, and any pub with crazy and sexy barmaids should be encouraged.
But surely a Worst Band Name of the 21st Century was more due to them. Elbow? Is that seriously the best name they could come up with? Why not just call yourself Armpit or Scrotum, for God's sakes???
Doesn't bode well for the imagination of their music, which I have avoided.

Haha, oh me, rathergood.com was virtually my first introduction to internet wackiness. That, and All Your Base Are Belong To Us. Certainly not something I'd ever expect to come across again on Dissensus!

i just noticed guy garvey was called one of the 25 'people of 2008' in the guardian, which made me wonder what they were actually like for the first time since that whole mercury madness.. so i checked out one of the songs that made it Their Year - The Year Of The Ordinary Unassuming (Northern) Bloke..

sorry, sorry, *that* was the crap that beat 'untrue' - are you fucking kidding me, seriously???
on a brighter note, hopefully there will be something new and interesting from burial in 09. i have no idea what. i just thought i should add something more upbeat and on topic..

he was in the NME's cool list too. i mean what kind of 16 year old grows up wanting to be that dude?
[edit: this drunk swedish woman on a bus once cornered me and started forcing me to listen to elbow on her ipod. i politely was trying to tell her that they weren't my sort of thing, and she kept telling me that she loved them because they were so emotive, and then started going through stuff on my ipod, telling me that it wasn't emotive enough for her, apart from deerhunter. like that was the scale she judged all music on. she was nuts.]

"Back in my day, we were beaten with rubber hoses in silver mines for 80 hours a week, and all we had to look forward to was mid-period MBV EPs and smartarse interviews with Thurston Moore in Melody Maker!"
This is a pretty funny riff on Hugh from the Armando Iannucci show - saves the thread. Most of it seems to be about MBV....
