Wall of Mouths

theme from delorean from shameless sounds a lot like an old echo and the bunnymen b side called simple stuff. i can’t find a youtube link but it’s up on spotify.

soul doubt, i thought the same. it’s amazing.

so i’ve been listening to it for a few days now and this is my brain banter. given how much i’d heard people say it was a grower i thought it was quite immediately accessible. i really like it. highlights are LITSOATT, get your dead hand… and the buzzing. marlowe really really really just shouldn’t be on there however but then again i’m not a huge fan of instrumentals (unless it’s big cave in). i think i actually prefer it to crooked timber.

it had best rock my socks when it arrives.

but i haven’t heard any of it yet apart from LITSOATT. i want to hear it.

still. haven’t. got. it. raaaargh!

i still haven’t got mine yet. without sounding silly, how can i listen to it before it arrives?

just the single song? i’d quite happily pay the 89p for an unreleased (or to be unreleased other than on the album) track. but for one that i’ve already heard or can watch until the album comes out. no no. not exactly shrewd marketing there boys.

sideways. diagonally. perpendicular. and on one crazy night, inside out and upside down.

i started on suicide pact and worked backwards from there. and then forwards obviously.

as gav said

this one?

i’m sure i have done this before but couldn’t find it. anyway, here we go…

i have the computer skills of a hamster. i don’t know how to send it. if you e-mail the band i am sure they can arrange something.

(contarary to popular opinion, and my own at times, i am actually very nice) ;)

i think this, inconvenient as it is, is not going to work chaps. i have it but well, i’m not nice enough

yep. i believe he has done quite a few tours for them.

aww, thanks sam :). i watched the one night in paris dvd by DM the other day and that is really rather good.

i am watching the “barrel of a gun” video right now. i am sure this is antons work but perhaps somone may be able to verify this? it is brilliant.

@mr self destruct: i think he was the stage and show designer for the last few DM tours as well as the videos.

if you look at the cover for IL and the cover for stoosh by skunk anansie it is basically the same photo. try it.

i have probably listened to crooked timber more in the weeks since it came out than any album they have done since suicide pact. i have to say all in all it’s a bit of a corker. can’t wait for the london show.

from R*E*P*E*A*T, here is a review from a very lovely man who lives in cambridge.

at the end.

the T? boys alledgedly did a dj set in cambridge just last week at the church of noise club (i am not making this up, look at their schedule). about half a mile from where i live. but i was in london that weekend.

our independent music shops i mean. not like local fruit and veg and that.

on the most part yes. but i am born and bred here so it is odd for me to go into town. so many many coffee shops… and pret a manger. and yet more coffee shops. you get the idea. all of our independent shops closed actually shortly after fopp opened. maybe that is why i am bitter. :)

sorry gill, that was not a slight upon you sir. just in cambridge.

fopp was also great for arty farty quasi intellectual books which certain people think are “cool” to read whilst standing around nonchalantly in a coffee bar somewhere. our fopp closed down TWICE but it’s still open now. boo.

hmv is notorious for having some things rediculously overpriced. but they do have some good deals/sales etc. usually anything that is reasonably current but not in the charts is stupidly expensive there. i buy most things from play.com because i am a lazy bastard (and also usually, with the exception of crooked timber which arrived rather late, you can recieve it on the saturday before it comes out). that or nick it off the interweb. either way, i’m not making unnecessary trips into cambridge town.

OCFA defintely. it just sounds awful. not really the boys fault as such, the songs are good but i can’t stand to listen to the fucking thing.
