You do get the feeling that the author of that paragraph was really enjoying himself. (and 12 years old)

She sounds thoroughly unconvinced, as she's probably bedridden or heavily medicated after seventeen years. Having not sprung upwards and danced a jig, she can safely assume that she's still sick.

Hmmm.. Posted this a couple of days ago and got one rather dismissive comment about the amount of money that had obviously been thrown at it.
It's nice that you value our skills so highly, but this is entirely amateur, no money has been thrown at either the video or the tune, just a lot of time from a lot of talented people....

I know the planets quite well :D.
Said it before I'll say it again, I love the new version of the song, it's fabulously awesome. The video freaked me out a little, I'll be honest I didn't really understand what was going on but I liked it none the less.
I'll see you soon :D even though you don't know who I am!
Keep up the awesome work guys.

The Planets are one of the best live bands around, anywhere, with one of the finest pop guitarist I've ever seen.
They were also featured in the game Motorstorm 2, I believe because the guy responsible for the soundtrack saw them live and realise how immense they are.
People need to be aware!

Spamming something because it's really good is borderline acceptable, but spamming it because you made it and didn't get any good replies the first time is only going to be met with derision.
(, Thu 1 Jan 2009, 18:04, Reply)
I couldn't agree more, but on this occasion I salute it. And not just because I know a couple of the band but because they are of genuine quality of a like not seen in the charts these days, they're far too interesting and good to be associated with the bland indie shit that continue to force its self upon me :(.

"they will succeed without you spamming them all over links"
Really? What a charmingly naive view of the music industry you have. We need traffic, the video shows talent worthy of B3ta, thus here it is, just another little piece of the puzzle.
And Mike's an extremely competent guitarist who plays what's appropriate.

This isn't how links works. No one saw fit to comment the first time around. It happens.
(, Thu 1 Jan 2009, 18:29, Reply)
Because the first comment said that it was a professional job, which it wasn't. I wouldn't bother looking at a link if I thought it was a plant from some marketing company so I don't see why anyone else would either.... Thus the repost with more info...
And no, I don't know who Twinpeaks is, but I probably know them. Anyway, these guys are pretty damned good, their songs get in your head after a couple of plays (and they have a lot of range), they deserve a lot more attention than 99% of the indie rock landfill I've bought over the past couple of years, sadly their problem is that they do have range, and the record industry see this as a negative (?) which is why everytime you hear one good track and buy an album it's just the same thing over and over again (yawn). Plus the video is pretty good...

the fratellis meet the arctic monkeys. they sound like every other shit band that wants to sound like mtv right now. good one.
vid looks nice though. i hope you don't mind that i turned the sound off.
sadly, for all the musical riches of manchester, the unsigned band scene there is piss poor. i should know, i was part of it.

And considering I first heard the planets about 3 years ago I don't think they're trying to copy anyone, your simple description of "fratellis meet monkeys" is rediculous.
I can name a shit load of first class bands from Bolton and Manchester.

My word, perhaps it's just because I've heard a lot more of their stuff but calling the planets generic is insane. My life is music, and if there's one thing they're not it's generic.

They do a rather grandiose King Crimsonesque track called MindHunter, or if you prefer Barrett era Floyd then Little Flies is a killer, Cardiac like timing in Slasher Horror or perhaps a little "Seaside Rendevous" like Ukelele in Saving the World - these guys influences are all over the shop.....

I understand trying to get your name out there but this just isn't good enough to be memorable i'm afraid, especially when it's already been posted. Sounds like the Rifles and a bit of the Fratellis.
Also, whoever said the guitarist is the finest around is also either lying, misguided or 17.
If the band are so awesome with so many other great songs and a massive range then I think this was a poor choice of song as I don't think it's that good, but that's just my opinion I suppose.
Video's quite good though

Huge GC, but they have updated a few.
Today I learned that crabs and lobsters have blue blood because they use copper, not iron, to transport oxygen around their bodies – this is also why they get tired first when we chase them.
