Mafro you're a black Scot, and you think a northern
accent is ridiculous... haha good one.

1. I'm only halfblack
2. I'm only half Scottish
3. Scottish accents are ace.

[Longview01]

surely this conversation shouldnt wonder down the race and colour arguement???

[Mafro]

Nope, you can blame Mcqueen for that. Apparently announcement of the winners was delayed by 15 minutes because the judges couldnt decide on the winner.

[Dimon Trowel]

How does he have know about 70s actor Frank Spencer and the Police song Roxanne, both of which crop up in songs? ....
And as they started life on MySpace that would mean they are owed by Rupert Murdoch which explains quite a bit.

Yeah, anyone born in the late 80's couldn't possibly have any knowledge of anything before the 80's could they?

And they didn't start life on Myspace and aren't owned by Murdoch. If you're gunna offer an argument get at least some of the facts right.


Mafro you're a black Scot, and you think a northern accent is ridiculous... haha good one.

I think you've obviously mistaken me for someone who gives a damn.

The evidence is out there. Poor McQueen - the reason brothers and sisters shouldn't marry.

[Dimon Trowel]

OK.

In the media business it's often hard to tell fact from fiction but sometimes you need to be able to listen to conspiracy theorists / lunatics as they rant and rave believing everything they read in the tabloids is a PR scam. If only to give McQueen something to think about in between him playing with his toys and surfing the net for a thai girlfriend, allow me to disuss the Arctic Monkeys conspiracy theory with you again.

Since their rise to fame it's interesting to note the wild acclaim that's been showered upon the Arctic Monkeys by various media outlets who devote every working day rigorously analysing anything that appears to be odd. You can bet your bottom dollar that the experts would spot anything not right about the band and make it known...only they haven't. - Despite the massive PR that has followed the Arctic Monkeys swift sucess.

The first AM urban myth surrounds their relationship with MySpace that apparently is somehow responsible not only for breaking them but the force behind the upheavals taking place in the music industry. Ask music journalists and fans of the band on the chronology of its development and you'll quickly discover that they had built up a large and vibrant following amongst spotty northern teenagers some time before their music found its way on to MySpace. Their trick was to ignore the usual paranoia many new bands feel about copyright and theft of original material and to give away their songs to their fans for free.

It now clear to anyone who has a brain that after a couple of No 1 records the Arctic Monkeys are being used to make MySpace owner Rupert Murdoch lots more money by boosting the value of his brand, thus getting amazing publicity throughout the entire News International camp which many of you will know 'controls' what we are fed by all aspects of the media such as the papers, magazines and TV throughout the world every single day.

Let's not forget the Arctic Monkeys endorsed American corporate giant Procter & Gamble who were the sponsors of the NME Awards and Murdoch's MySpace while refusing to play live on Top Of The Pops so in my opinion the Arctic Monkeys are nothing more than an elaborate scam that have been cooked up by the great media brains of our time as a means of getting young people to divert their income and their attention towards online music sites and social networks.

Finally, there are many people within the music industry who are hell-bent on sabotaging the big record labrls by messing up their chance to sell music. As we all spend more time being sucked into cyberspace on our computers, I suspect that this kind of hard-to-believe but technically feasible scam may be closer to reality than
many sceptics might care to admit.

[Yudster]

I can't work out if you are suggesting that Arctic Monkeys are actively and knowingly conniving in some kind of scam, or whether your theory is that they are being used by Powers Bigger Than They. But whichever way you look at it, all their tracks sound the same, and its a shame that even the Mercury prize is now apparently subject to agendas beyond the virtues of the music alone. Because succesful they might be, but Arctic Monkeys were so not the best band on offer there.

[Sidders]

The Arctic Monkeys didn't break through via MySpace! I'd heard of them way before I'd heard of MySpace and quite possibly before MySpace even existed!

I do actually remember you mentioning them ages ago.

[Danz]

the arctic monkeys come over as very inarticulate people in their interview,and don't seem to be happy with what their playing.This makes me believe that someone else writes their songs.

[ILoveDaveVitty]

[Adam]

Dimon Trowel v Mcqueen_ - I await a comeback.

[Dimon Trowel]

I would love to see things from your view Adam...

But I can't seem to get my head wedged up my own arse to do so.

[Adam]

Will, unlike you, Dimon T w a t, we have to be skilled at such things. At least its my own, and not someone else's arse.

[Dimon Trowel]

I don't know what makes you so stupid but it certainly works.

I'm a little busy right now though, so can I ignore you another time?

[Adam]

When do you plan to leave?

[Adam]

Actually Dimon T w a t, if you're ignoring me - why on earth do you carry on writing messages which include my name? Do me a favour and give it a rest.

[Dimon Trowel]

Keeping on topic then I thought I'd mention some Arctic Monkeys / Mercury news.

They've handed over the 20 grand prize to a local charity.

[Ballbag]

The Arctic Monkeys are the next in a long list of "the biggest and freshest things in British music that's going to take the world by storm"........... The Darkness, David Gray, Miss Dynamite... that other femal rapper from about a year or two ago who "grew up in the 1980's" Craig chuffing David.......... all of whom are doing balls all now. And yet at the time EVERYONE jumps on the band wagon and starts giving them false senses of realism.......... don't get me started on David Blunt........ ironic that his surname rhymes with what he actually is.

[Dimon Trowel]

AM will be gone within 2 years.

[Ballbag]

AM will be gone within 2 years.

yep..... and thank God.

[Dimon Trowel]

Along with Lily Allen...
