I'll give it a few more listens then. Just downloaded 'Another City, Another Sorry' by The Answering Machine - good stuff. Just got the Klaxons new one too which I'm looking forward to hearing. Excited about Muse tomorrow. Decent supports too - Pulled Apart By Horses and Band Of Skulls. Not very keen on Editors though - it's almost as if they're trying to sound like Ian Curtis fronting Coldplay.

Lol. Take it your another one who sees the Emperor's New Clothes too? I guess Arcade Fire have them back on loan from Radiohead for the time being.

Worse than the remake of Get Carter with Stallone? I can't believe it .....

Not as good as their last album, which tbh was overrated anyway. They're a bit like Radiohead - critical darlings who could release any old tosh and it would instantly get 5-star reviews by the self appointed 'serious' music press. Looking forward to the new Interpol, Grinderman and Black Mountain albums.

Saw Toy Story on Tuesday - great film. Watched District 9 last night - superb. Also watched Paranormal Activity earlier in the week - incredibly good, even more so when it reportedly only cost $15,000 to make. Scared the missus to death, and I have to confess it took me a while to get to sleep!

Spot on. Muse - never knowingly understated ....

U2 left a massive hole in the Friday headline slot .... Gorillaz failing badly to fill it imo. Not that I don't like them, but they are a long way from headline material, and seem to have morphed into an ego-massaging project for Damon Albarn. Most recent album very disappointing - and they appear to be playing it all! Snoop was awesome, Hot Chip good, not a fan but Dizzee Rascal got the crowd rocking, disappointed no footage of The Black Keys though. Looking forward to The Dead Weather and particularly Muse tomoz. Rumours that The Edge will join them on stage?

Watched 'Moon' and 'Zombieland' over the weekend - very different films but both very good.

Anyone else go and see Doves on Sunday night at KGH? Third time I've seen them and they didn't disappoint - and they played 'Space Face' as a second encore which went down well with people of my age who remember only too well dancing in fields to it in about 1990 ....

Round Blackburn, Clog & Billycock is about the best imo. Fence Gate Inn is good but a bit of a trek too ...

Watched the first 4 so far, and it's excellent. If you liked Band Of Brothers, then you'll love it but even my missus has enjoyed it and she's not usually too taken with anything war-related.

Sadly, the increase in the number of braindead, moronic, neanderthal chavs fuelled by alcohol is symptomatic of society in general ....

A man critically ill in hospital, someone arrested. In the Rovers end so the assumption is it was one Rovers fan on another? Terrible. At least he's still with us ....

Just been on Radio Lancs that there will be an announcement at 6?

Have we got two Pedersens? Because the one I and most people have been watching has been plain not nearly good enough for most of the last two seasons, and for most of the games he's played this season hasn't even put much effort in either. In the first leg of the Villa tie, he wimped out of every tackle and header, and it was without doubt one of the most uncommitted performances I've ever seen from a Rovers player. Whilst I didn't boo him off, I can totally understand why others did. The second leg was much the same, except he was in a position where he didn't need to tackle as much so it didn't negatively impact the team as much as usual. And I wouuldn't really call the goal he scored against City important when we got dicked 4-1! I agree about Benni though - one excellent season, and since then he's largely let himself and Rovers down apart from the odd goal. The Benni from his first season would be a big miss - the current one isn't and West Ham are welcome to him. Although we all know he's bound to score against us right?

Diouf, and especially Pedersen both need dropping. Diouf hasn't really set the world on fire this season, and Pedersen has been truly shocking since 2007. If we start against Bolton as we did against Pompey we will struggle, simple as. Hopefully the second half against Portsmouth will make Sam realise the error of his 4-5-1 ways ....
