I only put this in the Music thread as if I didn't, the mods would move it, but what on earth to make of the news that One Direction have made history as the first UK pop group to debut at no. 1 on America's Billboard album chart?

Has the music world really gone that mad?

Well, apparently so

I know. I'm in shock.


But it sums up the corrupt charts quite perfectly

Like the jonas brothers, jls and all that mass produced musically void b/s, sell sex to little girls and make millions.

South Park had it on the money.

It's been out a while but I'm really enjoying the latest long player from Little Dragon, lo fi Swedish pop with a hint of Prince and a wasabi kick.

Really liking Cast's new album, Troubled Times.

Power ain't lost it.

I've been having a bit of a change of direction this week. On channel one we have Dodgy's new album, very laid back, very pastoral, very much like the 'tracks that weren't the hits' from their early albums. On channel two - The Real McKenzies. Canadian/Scot folk punk iin the vein of Flogging Molly or The Pogues. Loud, drunk, skirling, I'm not sure if I like it or not.

Expecting the new King Hammond album any day now too....

Quantity does not mean quality.

That sounds a bit like Partrdige.

Mmm a metal festival with Queen, Faith No More and Kiss headlining was always gonna be in trouble. There just isn't the bands or fans to support two metal/rock festivals.

Queen with some fame show reject, flogging a dead horse and p**sing on the legacy of the last ever Queen show in '86, Faith No More, good by hardly a must see and really a good second on the bill rather than a headliner, Kiss, flogging a dead horse with make up on, they missed a trick not getting Motley Crue as second on the bill to copy the US tour.
