I will be introducing a track from your worthy gentlemen in Meursault for the Festive Fifty. Shit they had 4 tracks to choose from, so hopefully there is at least one another on the list as well! I swear if the XX place higher than Meursault, I just might not forgive the recording industry in general. Just sayin. S. A bit late on this post, but vote I did and I was rewarded.

That punky-looking lot who sing about girls falling over like dominoes will probably pick up the Black Kids' flash-in-the-pan baton from The XX in a week or two, and then they too will vanish from our collective conciousness and be back manning the checkouts at Tesco's before Lent begins. That is seriously is the first time I've heard anyone say they don't like A Few Kind Words. Geordies are weird. Aren’t The XX just this season’s Black Kids?

It's something they are going to have to learn to accept. They are just wrong, simple as that. It’s something they are going to have to learn to accept.

It is is irrelevant if they disappear into the either. Opinions are shite, i played a Few Kind Words (by Meursault, if you didn't know) to a few pals the other weekend (i was trying to get them to go and see them at the Newcastle gig) and the cheeky fuckers said that it was just bleepy bleepy shite! i nearly ripped their faces off! i think that The XX make music that is low key, beautiful and heartfelt.

I'd been hearing people going on about them all over the place and when I sampled a few tracks I was all 'huh? this is what people have been raving about?' Bland is the perfect description. Will be interesting to see how they rate in the FF. Couldn’t have said it better myself!

I just find them completely lifeless and bland and utterly unexceptional. I can't even hate it, I probably wouldn't recognise them if they were on the radio and will put money to them vanishing into the ether post haste. And rightly so. Me too.
