wow, this has been up for 5 minutes and noone's posted yet..
weird...

mark wilson looks too skinny.

can't wait - tracks i have heard so far are fkn awesome

i think you love Jet, 100sand100s. I think you want to marry them.

i would marry mark, but he wont ask.

They all look pretty hot.

self-releasing will make them go blind

self-releasing will make them go blind

i think they're really going to come into their own with this release

nice one bw

new ipod ad?

Youse guys are just jealous of their sex-tasticness now they've lost the coke bloat!

you get bloated on coke?

not coke-zero, but..

pft, evidently all the weight has just gone straight to their schlongs

where it is no use to anyone

black wasp, you are a genius

I always like black wasp! even when she/he whatever it is hates on me!

black wasp is a quality hater

black wasp! is officially my favourite troll.

wasp = brilliant.

New album is a good listen

They're all going for the 'brush forward' look, aren't they? (And I don't mean in the Black Wasp way..)

Baldness is a bitch. Just ask me.

How did he avoid getting it on his sunglasses?

They're Ray-Bans. World goggles upon which no seed can find purchase.

...and so the other guy's must be fake.

Those are Bolle, and not worth the bullshit adhesive paper their price tags are printed on.

ditto BDK

Jet
noun
1. A rapid stream of liquid or gas forced out of a small opening

what an extraordinarily fine post, mother and father

I award Mother and Father the post of the day.

Very droll, Humphrey.

self-release = dropped! Someone at label told me they spent over a million dollars on the album and it sounds like crap, so they got dropped...

A million dollars? Who produced it? Where was it recorded?

I heard the same. They recorded the album in Texas and spent over a million bucks. Atlantic rejected it and tried to get them to go and write new songs. Jet refused so they were dropped. Judging by the singles so far, I think Atlantic made a wise move.

how the hell can one spend 1 million on a an album? can anyone have a wild stab at a cost breakdown?

I like the new video. The werewolf one.

hey Black Wasp, does Chris have a mangina?

A million dollars spent on Jet's new album?

That's $200 000 on recording, $800 000 on the powdery white stuff disappearing up Chris' nose. Easy.

Gee, the music 'industry' is amazing. Think about it. Five years ago, Jet were supposed to be the biggest thing ever. Who would have predicted that The Presets or Cut Copy would be way more popular than Jet?

Who would have predicted that Bliss n' Eso or Hilltop Hoods would be headlining bigger venues than Jet?

five years is a long time in music. think about the differences between any five year gap in the history of popular music. jet absolutely bloew up in their hey-day. but music trends come and go...i'm sure they aren't the least bit bitter about the fact that sounding like the faces isn't the in-thing at the moment.

and another thing-a jet thread that has been on mess and noise for almost a month only has 40 comments???!?!?!?!

why, back in my day.....

WHAT, NOBODY TOLD ME JET SOUND LIKE THE FACES!!! (*runs out of house to buy all their albums)

Since when is Chris Cester the singer? Isn't he just the one that gets into fights with Lily Allen?

Why are Jet advertising their gig on Mess and Noise? Surely this is the wrong place for that (unless they are trying to inspire a 200 post thread of vitriol)

I'm QCing ''She's A Genius'' right now.

Sounds like a Jet song.

feature in friday's EG

The result is their most diverse effort yet. There are two excellent ballads, a couple of rock-radio-friendly mid-tempo tracks, a lyrically dexterous beatsmith track featuring a half-spoken, half-rapped bridge, a pedal steel-based lament written by Muncey, and the first track in the band’s history for which all members receive a writing credit. This time, too, the introspection comes from Chris contemplating life’s changes from age 17 to 27.

Yeah that is a fair point.

While cataloguing Shaka Rock just now, I had a peek at the full band photo inside the sleeve.

How did the fat one become the hot one? And like, really hot, too.

Yes yes; I know the answer's coke.

I saw them do She's a genius on Letterman last night. Chorus does what a chorus is supposed to do etc. What seemed weird was the guitarist that doesn't sing - I won't call him a lead guitarist - looked kinda frozen on stage. It honesty looked like either he was frightened stiff or that he was concentrating real hard to play the uber simple riff and progression he had been relegated. Either that or he has starved himself so thin that he was about to feint. ROCK.

I assumed that was a different guy?

Nope, same guy.

that's muncey, right?

Nah, Wilson.

I self release on albums all the time and nobody writes a press release about me!

self released = dropped by their record label!

From the one song I've heard I can't understand how a label would put out the first two then balk at this one. They all sound like Jet - derivative, catchy and simple.
