I've logged in to last.fm for the first time in TWO YEARS to tell you how disappointed I am in you for having Taylor Swift and Coldplay as your top two most-played artists in the last 3 months. Come on Neil it's like looking at my dad's last.fm page, sort it out!! ;-)

oh and I am absolutely LOVING the top photos for Cardinals at the moment. I always knew you were secret emos!

I log back in to last.fm for the first time in years, think "hey I'll check out what my friends are listening to" and I am greeted by TAYLOR FUCKING SWIFT???? What am I supposed to think, Neil? Do you wear blouses now?! I'll bet you do!

Nice one brother - BRING ON THE TOUR!! Literally the same taste in music as me :)

I get paid on Sunday so I'll order it next week. You mind post a link your bigcartel on my shoutbox so I remember? Also, have you ever listened to Defeater before? I reckon you should give them a listen, their new album is stunning and the story their lyrics tell grips you even more to their music.

I'm liking the 30 second samples of what I'm hearing. I can see the Brand New comparison, not so much Minus the Bear as I actually hear Tall Ships more. I would buy off itunes but I don't actually use it to but music, do you have a bandcamp or something similar?

and now for something completely different http://vimeo.com/21504557

yeah I know dude I was trying to differentiate it from the other guitar part... 5th fret, 9th fret, 14, 17, 12, 10, 9, 7(slight bend) and back to 5 on the b string :p

oh and the open E string guitar part to "Pretentious Songtitle" was the easiest thing in the world to learn :p

haha I might start referring to it as "Pretentious Songtitle" from now on! Much better name :p Maybe I should have a Cardinals T-Shirt with that written on it made for me to wear to your gigs!

I can definitely see Enrique on your last 7 days artists! For shame!!

A million yesses to that! I cannot make thursday though. I dont have enough money to afford train to soton and back. I'm really sorry. I may be popping to kingston next saturday though. Katie Malco and HYHI @ fighting cocks. Come down! We can party. Plus its pretty much summer. :) xx

Cant think of any music really. I'm listening to why? & Hymies Basement alot. Apart from that its just still alot of Tubelord & Tall Ships. And 24th, I'll see what I can do. Although I'm living in LDN at the moment so havent really got the $$$ to get trains down. If I'm back in wales before then I'll defo come and drive down. :) We also need to goto Kingston sometime soon. I went on Monday and saw everyone that we saw from June, didnt get a chance to speak to Katie & Tristan but hello's were exchanged and it was thoroughly pleasant. xxx

tag cloud for Neil89: emo, emocore, crunk, crunkcore, metal, metalcore, hardcore, metalcorecore, emo hardcore, emotronic, emotronica, punk, emo punk, pop punk, emo pop punk, emo pop punkcore

That's some good taste.

Hey, thanks for the add! Nice library you've got there, and cool avatar by the way :) Cheers

cool new avatar bro

I'm not sure really. Just some nice new shiny british music, nothing too flimsy, bit of a punch to it, some nice noises, something a bit different. Something bsm-y maybe, or just nice. I dont know. Are you up for doing kingston when del reorganises his postponed birthday show? The all dayer that was going to be before xmas one...? x

Oh hai Neil, do you know of any nice new bands that Lily may like. Lily needs new music. :( x

I haven't got round to listening to that album yet. I've only heard Insomniac Doze which has been my revision music for the past couple of weeks, such a beautiful album. Glad you enjoy them though, I do recommend you give ID a listen when you get the chance.

Think it actually says maybe for both, meant to be going to the NME awards tour show on the Mogwai date as well... will evaluate finances after our loan and decide then

omg neil. we r super lol. x

That is definitly Foreigener on your last week's tracks. For shame.

if you like Adebisi Shank you might like this: http://www.mothernight.bandcamp.com

I've heard two songs from the album and they're both great but I haven't got round to hearing the whole album yet. I'm waiting for it to come on Spotify because I'm poor and can't afford to by it but alas no luck.

Jesus, that line up is mindblowing. £6 as well. I'd love to go to that but there is no way that I could afford to get down there. So jealous if you're going, we never get line ups that good up here apart from a Talons/&U&I/Hold Your Horse Is gig on Thursday which should be great.

ahah who doesn't look a bit of cheese every now and again. Is that thing in Kent the gig with &U&I. The JCQ, Tangled Hair and Shoes and Socks off?

Great taste mate, despite the recent Westlife plays :P

I had them tagged as 'The Arcade Fire', removed them from my library a week before The Suburbs was released and re-tagged them as 'Arcade Fire'. Would be well over 1000 plays otherwise...

Cheers man, our charts are pretty identical!

'Were' tenth... What am I on your Neighbours list now then Neil? And nice Fleetwood Mac appreciation. x

take your submersive, rebellious piss-taking away from my cyberspace

also how was slam dunk? were new found glory AMAZING?

chiddy bang, what the actual fuck. the one that samples passion pit is good in places... mostly at the passion pit sample bit, but the rest, come on.

Was trying to check out some new bands and came across these guys. You may have already heard of them: http://www.last.fm/music/Hot%2520Club%2520de%2520Paris?ac=hot%20club%20de

Hondo Maclean haha. Good times

you're such a tit...

Super Tennis! Nice

Oh and congrats on winning the chat up line competition, I was genuinely laughing at the majority of the ones Tom and Matt were reading from you. Thats some serious dedication there. Whether you said it or not I think my personal favourites were 'I dont need any chat up lines, I'm Neil Allen' and 'Roses are red, violets are blue, ive got a knife, get in the car.' Good job. x

Yeah I was listening to it yesterday on a stream that Steph linked me to. It's not bad at all. Not found any way of downloading it though? How'd you get it? xx

Haha was just about to then realised you must have it already! So good though!

Yeah, as in haven't given anything a decent listen to/barely listened to any music. Its nice to be home though so I can listen to my vinyl and "acquire" some new stuff etc. So im working on it right now. And yeah newish, was out last year but only just got it. I've listened to I do Perceive. the most though. Got anything to recommend? I'm on a binge right now... x

Damn right! Thought I'd start giving them a good listen, I've been crap with music lately. Gunna listen to them again after a bit of Walter. Gunna listen to a bit of the newer Owen album too later as I've just acquired it. x

By the way, our super-ness is fully super again... x

Kudos for Adebisi Shank appreciation Neil! x

I dont actually have it, whenever I listen to it its streamed but via my itunes. If you search for it on the hype machine then you should be able to find the stream link, then itunes will save the stream link for you. That make sense. x

No, I meant your profile is impressive. Some of the music you listen too is cool, some of it is wank. Yeah, wank like Placebo. I've just noticed Ego by The Saturdays is your joint twelfth most-played song...poor. Also, Joe compared your guitar playing to that of The Edge earlier, what a comparison.

Your last.fm is beginning to impress me... 4000 plays in a month, well over 300 artists. Hmm
