OT (if that's possible in this thread) but Baza, heard These Are My Twisted words the other night, it's pretty good, but tainted. I only came across it while reading articles about how Thom says they won't be doing another album for ages maybe never

Brian

What was it you were reading, The Guardian? Thom never said they were going to do no more albums, I think it was really more in response to the band's collective dislike of CDs... that said, and EP is more likely at this stage (check out at ease or mortigi tempo).

Full interview

devinejay

Not to bad then, the stuff I was reading was all blog posts referring to this article in The Believer which you can't read fully but this seems to be a quote taken directly from it

"None of us want to go into that creative hoo-ha of a long-play record again. Not straight off, I mean, it's just become a real drag. It worked with In Rainbows because we had a real fixed idea about where we were going. But we've all said that we can't possibly dive into that again. It'll kill us."

I don't mind too much, I mean they never said they'd break up, or stop pursuing they're own musical projects, so there should still be plenty of good stuff to listen to (Including a tasty sounding Johnny&Thom orchestral project).


Edit; just copped that link you posted was the same stuff.

Brian

Yeah, the full interview. I have my sources

Know is such a strong word. Have knowledge of would be a better term. I forget from where though. I vaguely recall her coming onto this forum before, saying who she was and saying she knew you, but I can find no trace of it now.

Mind you CAO points mean nothing. Out of a class of say 180, 179 could get 600 points, and the last fella could get 410, and 410 would then be the points for the year.

Boston

The median points will tell you what the score is. Usually it's not too far off the bottom figure.

Peleus

410 to get in? woah thats a big drop. oh an jonathan about the "the whole class could have got 600 while the last guy to get in got 410" thing... i think we can accept that the points to get in are pretty much proportional to the average points.

i'd say if i check, which im not bothered doing, the average points have dropped too.

It was a hypothetical situation. I highly doubt it would happen in real life.

Brian

I would calculate our class's average points but cba. I'd say it's around 480.

What was it last year? I think it was 440 nine years ago

Jonathan

It was 450* in my year.

The consensus of the demonstrators , lab assistance, lectures, and general staff is that your year is one of the stupidest years in recent history. Don't feel disheartened, these are the people you're competing against.

I can see why they would think that alright.
