The Brits last night were an absolute shambles and a nice portal into the state of British pop music this decade.

I would have preferred Blur had stayed unknown to those people. They were embarassing.

Same man, same.

It's so fucking generic.

What's happened to music, and especially English music? :(

I want to see some good bands pop up.

I dunno, it's not all bad. Los Campesionos and Slow Club are my two favourite acts right now, and they're both fairly modern. Lots of good stuff around if you know the right rocks to look under.

But it's the crowds that get me. Band plays great song, has nice melody, crowd bounces around like a bunch of cunts going "do do do-do do" whenever there aren't words to sing to. Shut it you cunts!
 
Speaking of which - during the Brit awards last night my FB feed was full of comments regarding it.

A couple caught my eye, mainly "Who is Noel Gallagher?" and "Who are Blur? :/"

All around 20/21, btw.

That's... pretty unforgivable. It's weird to think that our generation has easier access to music than pretty much any in history, yet some actually seem to get more ignorant.

Can we all agree James Corden is a cunt?

I should elaborate, from interrupting interviews to failing to outwit Patrick Stewart, the man has failed upwards in an almost Andy Millman arc of appealing to the Sun readers of the world: fat, un-challenging and "a lad up for a larf innit".

He is the male equivalent of Catherine Tate.

YES.

I turned the awards on last night, heard him being introduced as the host and switched it off.

My mother bought me his biography for Christmas. I thought she was joking. Turns out she knows nothing about my taste in comedy or indeed, me as a person, she thought I was a fan!

I don't mind James Corden. Must be a southern thing. For example, I don't like Jimmy Tarbuck.

Yup. Bona fide, 100% confirmed cunt.
 
I don't get the James Corden hate. Although I don't particularly find him that funny, I enjoy the shows he's on, like League and Gavin. The Comic Relief sketches as Smithy were alright as well. The wife says that his book is a bit shit though.

People like Chris Moyles do my head in. How the fuck this guy gets more screen time is beyond me.

just a second, going to send a link to this thread to my son, I figure he needs to learn how to use swearwords properly...

He co wrote an "ok" sitcom that he put himself in, it was tolerable at best but fuck it, objective opinions and all that.

I object to him showing up EVERYWHERE with his brand of slightly pissed fat ego maniac.

When confronted by Picard about his lack of abilities as a host he didn't outwit this old actor like a comedian would, he got in his face like a pissed cunt in a pub about to glass him...

No wonder the great un-washed love him he gives them hope that any cunt can "make it".
 
I thoroughly enjoy his performances on Doctor Who. Everything else he does is terrible terrible blokebait. Ugh.

Going back to fast food, had a weird experience in Burger King today- guy serving me almost totally lost his shit when I mentioned I'd asked for take-out, and as the manager put my food in a takeout bag he gave me the creepiest pedosmile ever. :(

+1 to the James Corden is a unfunny cunt brigade.

I've seen 1 or 2 eps of his "shows". There was no funny, I couldn't find the funny.

There's always good music about, just the music is barely known.

I'd like to see rock come back properly, but sadly I doubt that'll happen anytime soon.

Also speaking of James Corden, fuck him.

I must admit I was laughing when he was sobbing on the radio.

I run a finishing school for young hooligans that you can enroll him in but I don't want you getting pissy if he gets drunk here 'n' there. It's character building.

I was in Game today and they didn't have MGSHD collection or any other new/not used game worth buying. Lady at till told me I should just use GoD to buy games. Flip.

I fucking hate that Corden dude. He is the most unfunny shitbag in the country. How he got his own quiz show I have no idea. Fucking cunt faced shit fuck wanker bastarding arselicking fuckface.

I really hate him. I don't know why, it's just something about him.

Games on Demand? Seriously? Hahahahahahahahahaha

GAME don't actually have enough money to stock many new titles. Ditch them.

I had a gift card and I traded in two games - Arkham Asylum, Fable 2 - as I assumed they would have it. So I have to go back sometime and buy something from them. I should buy some e-shop points or a year of live, since MGS collection and Test Drive Ferrari are the only new games I want.

Ignorance is bliss as far as Corden is concerned then. I've only seen Gavin and Stacey, History Boys and League of their Own and he's tolerable in all of them. If he's showing up everywhere and on everything then so are you, only he's getting paid to do it and you're only happy to observe it.

Ah, fair enough then. Maybe they'll get MGS in eventually, but they're in a very weird place at the moment financially. Odd stuff.

They said they wouldn't have it in, leading to her suggestion of just using GoD. She was pleasant though, which is a change from the absolute dick of a manager. One time the bastard took money out of my hand and put it on a GAME card without asking me.
I very rarely use GAME though. Last time I did I wanted a 3DS game because I was going into hospital for a week and couldn't wait for Amazon etc. SSFIV

Can't wait for GAME to go bust. Me and a mate have put a bet on it. I say by end of the year, he says summer. He works for HMV though, so either way, the joke's on him.

Anyone else think there's been a rise of smaller gaming shops to GAME's expense?

I mean obviously there's supermarkets/Amazon, but I can't help but feel like I'm seeing more independent game shops than 5 or 6 years ago.

I think so. There will always be a requirement for a specialist games retailer, especially second hand games so I expect game shops will survive but they will be independent and not run by the idiots that run GAME.

+1 for James Corden hate. I also hate this fat dude with glasses and another guy that looks like a chubby Richard Branson. I just can't find how these guys are funny.

Yep. Sort of in style with the CEX franchise. In the past 2 years, i'd say about 6 shops have opened on my main high street.

It's pretty cool because a lot of the time they have HUGE PS2 collections for dirt cheap.
 
It is my duty to point out that James Corden is not a complete cunt. He supports the mighty West Ham United FC, and therefore true cuntiness is forever beyond him. I will admit he does occasionally come across as a bit of a twat, but that's as far as I'll go.

Plus he was good in Dr Who.

Meh, that just reinforces the cuntiness.

I don't think James Corden is a cunt. Allow me to explain.

I never watched Gavin and Stacey so I have no idea of whether it was good or not. From my POV I just saw this fat, unfunny "comedian" slowly taking over my television. There was no common thread or link to any of his stuff, he just seemed to be getting on chat shows, pannel shows, Doctor fucking Who, hosting award ceremonies, etc, essentially forcing himself on to anything on my own personal television, without any rhyme or reason.

As I was inevitably subjected to his material, I realised that he was completely unfunny. Like, one of the least funniest people on TV. His material is so bad that I immediately switch the channel the moment that I see him, because I'm embarrassed for him and I'm physically unable to sit through such horrors. After my initial anger, I became rather impressed. How does such an unfunny bastard manage to get these gigs and rake in so much money, critical acclaim, celebrity friends, and public affection? It's a question that still baffles me. With a lot of comedians I can accept that their material just isn't to my personal taste, so I just chalk them off and don't even think about it, but James Corden barely has any material, he's one of the least funniest people on TV and yet he's killing it. I'm impressed.
 
Ahh crap, I should have given her my gift voucher in return for sexual favours.

Also why does this London bus advert keep running down my page. I thought Gafs ad space was restricted to those two banners.
