Idlewild - A Little Descourage (Reading Festival 2000)

[rocketskates23]

it's spelled Discourage...

[pitnufer]

I saw this gig . It was wicked!

[bren0ribeir0]

i completely agree with what theshontman wrote .

[theshontman]

Hmm i disagree. i like there old and new stuff. Listening to interviews with the band you can tell that they are not trying to be like anyone... they play what music they want to play, thats why they are on a small label now, so they have more creative freedom.

[PaulBriden]

They do have more creative freedom,but does this pay the bills. Also i think they have not replaced Bob with a bass player with the same raw energy he had.

[theshontman]

Well they seem to be doing fine, and im sure they could get a label if they wanted, at the moment they are going it alone, i saw they 2 weeks ago and they were freaking awesome!!!

[FablesJonny]

ye man its a shame their early stuff has faded away. dont like there new stuff much. still im a captain man!!

[stevo302]

hope is important wasn't really dark, 100 broken windows was their best album, a sort of surreal rock album. Latest stuff has just been lame soft rock, trying to be like REM

[etg592]

better then REM ever way. last three albums have been superb.

[criptikclues]

cheers for putting this up, wonder what their next album will sound like. hope it will be more like the captin/hope is important stuff.

[floozysuzie20]

Of course it won't be.

[criptikclues]

well make another world was a lot darker than warnings/promises and the latest track ive heard city hall sounds like it would be more at home on some of their ealier records so you never know.

[floozysuzie20]

Just out of interest, now you have heard City Hall recorded, do you still think it would be more at home on some of their earlier records?
