Now for a header into the cess-pool
Love this album. Favourite of the year so far.
On my shopping list, and much hoped for.
The Strangle of Anna is probably my favourite track so far this year.
D’you think anyone else has noticed the passing resemblance to Velvet Underground and/or Jesus And May Chain?
@Rigid Digit – pure coincidence but I reckon it leaves the latest JAMC effort and the Mods standing.
and here I was thinking this thread was going to be a sledge at our governance overlords.
@pawsforthought – I think you may be right. Listening on headphones on last train home tonight, very loud, very f-d up, very dirty (them not me!) Hope no-one else was listening. Looking forward to Sunday night – lucky I got Monday off! Set the controls for the heart of the pelvis….
whatever you do don’t mention G**y G*****r?
“My only deep sorrow,” he said, “is the unrelenting insistence of recording and motion picture companies upon purveying the most brutal, ugly, degenerate, vicious form of expression it has been my displeasure to hear—naturally I refer to the bulk of rock ‘n’ roll.
“It fosters almost totally negative and destructive reactions in young people. It smells phony and false. It is sung, played and written for the most part by cretinous goons and by means of its almost imbecilic reiterations and sly, lewd—in plain fact dirty—lyrics, and as I said before, it manages to be the martial music of every sideburned delinquent on the face of the earth. This rancid smelling aphrodisiac I deplore. But, in spite of it, the contribution of American music to the world could be said to have one of the healthiest effects of all our contributions.”
Prescription pain killers anyone?
Brilliant. This’ll scratch my Earl Brutus itch nicely.
(Don’t see a comparison to Sleaford Mods, mind you.)
@Leicester Bangs – I may have been a little over-refreshed last night but it is my own personal alternative Bank Holiday long weekend so I excuse myself. I think there is something about gleefully embracing the sleazy underbelly (Moonlandingz) and making some great tunes in the process, as opposed to …. cheap holidays in other people’s misery and a crap haircut. Oh well, it mades sense last night. I’m sure they are all top blokes. (As I’m sure you know the quotes above were attributed to Frank Sinatra in the 50’s in response to the first wave of rock n roll – sideburns delinquents of the world unite!)
or should I say @Leicester-Bangs?
I agree. Do you like The Pre New?
(If not, I think you will like them. Also Earl Brutus, obvs, same band more or less..)
Heard of them but not heard them and will follow-up. Heady stuff eh?
