Can't wait for the interview.<BR/><BR/>DCAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31163503.post-38218806438825428412008-01-04T11:16:00.000+01:002008-01-04T11:16:00.000+01:00Wow...this has generated more feedback than pretty...Wow...this has generated more feedback than pretty much any other new band I've ever posted here.

(I mean that as a compliment to the big man, by ra way...)<BR/><BR/>As such, he doesn't much care if he gets derided for supporting a band. His enthusiasm for Three Colours Red didn't make much difference to the band's sales, but he said what he said because that's what he believed. <BR/><BR/>He once said in an interview that he only signed Duncan Dhu to Creation as a favour to the band's manager, which is hilarious, I think - because to my ears Duncan Dhu were better than House of Love, Ride, Swervedriver etc.<BR/><BR/>The best thing for me about Glasvegas is that they have broken the glasgow indie mould - this band is too cool for art school.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31163503.post-63777461292357891832008-01-02T20:23:00.000+01:002008-01-02T20:23:00.000+01:00Mattr- have yet to see them live but i bet they ar...Mattr- have yet to see them live but i bet they are fabulous.<BR/><BR/>Anonymous 1-Links still seem to be working, try again.<BR/><BR/>jayd- they certainly seem to be gathering a lot of interest, and I'm really looking forward to what comes next...<BR/><BR/>Anonymous 2 -that's a pretty ace description! <BR/><BR/>Indeed, sounds like three very interested readers...EdEdhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14243538543550888272noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31163503.post-90502431759412351722008-01-02T19:17:00.000+01:002008-01-02T19:17:00.000+01:00love daddy's song, reminds of the raveonettes in a...love daddy's song, reminds of the raveonettes in a melancholy mood after a session on the tennants, marvellousAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31163503.post-32138698027107547742008-01-02T19:11:00.000+01:002008-01-02T19:11:00.000+01:00Glasvegas are the best band in the world right now...Glasvegas are the best band in the world right now.<BR/><BR/>Jayd<BR/><BR/>www.acertainromance.comThe McFersonshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04399979200173423469noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31163503.post-39140497351492163032008-01-02T18:16:00.000+01:002008-01-02T18:16:00.000+01:00Links to Daddy's Gone and Go Square Go no longer w...Links to Daddy's Gone and Go Square Go no longer workAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31163503.post-47261362159043886542008-01-02T18:03:00.000+01:002008-01-02T18:03:00.000+01:00I saw Glasvegas supporting Ian Brown last year, th...I saw Glasvegas supporting Ian Brown last year, they were bloody excellent...Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
