Wall of Mouths

I know some of the people listed are not my mug of coffee, but this is GROSS.

But very addictive, I must admit.

By the way, put Thatcher on the list.

OMG I was at that gig, down the front and screaming my head, saying John Major is fucking my sister during Potato Junkie coz I had seen them the year before…jeez, what a gig it was too.

To Andy, Mike and Neil n me follow WoMbles, hope you all ‘ave a good ‘un ;-)

Cheers, Mr Evil Priest, look forward to the new album in the New Year ;-)

Gonna give it another go in the new year.

I had totally forgotten about Arcade Fire’s album, which is great.

For whose who hasn’t Mongrels, here’s a sample

One of Andy Cairns’ influences and if you listen to Suicide Pact:You First, Beefheart’s influence is on some of the tracks,

RIP.

Oh, if there’s anyone above looking down, please take away an artist that has no talent but is so shoved down the throat rather than take away a great, we would be ever so grateful, thank you.

I’m looking forward to 127 Hours. As much as I enjoyed Slumdog Millionaire (Danny Boyles previous film), it appealed more to the mainstream whilst his latest comes across more cult like…and I don’t mean that in the Trainspotting sense either.

I saw Mr Nice and The Social Network at the pix, and though they are both well made, they’re the kind of movies that you wait to come out on DVD but then wait till they’re on 2 for a tenner deal at HMV.

One film I curious about seeing is Let me In as I’m a big fan of the original.

Little gutted that I didn’t add a few words.

In saying that, however, and I might have mentioned this here, I’m currently rewriting a novel that mentions a T? gig where two of the characters cross paths.

That’s all I’m going to say on the matter…oh, and one of them has a Gemil tatt on his neck too.

The only albums that I’ve bought that came out this year was Maiden and T? and the rest is old stuff that I had been meaning to get for years.

Only one gig this, Gallows in Cardiff but what a band.

TV wise, I loved BBC 3’s Mongrels but no one else seems to be bothered about it. This is England 86 is there too.

Read quite a bit too this year but thats another long list.

Blast, someone beat me to it.

But its a good interview, so no complaints from me.

Found this via Facebook. Listening to it now and worth hearing.

Saw Gallows last Monday in Cardiff. Awesome band yet very under rated. Its the closet band we got to the Clash and Black Flag yet the press rehash old glories though rather than cover newer bands.

Its hard to believe now that T? had major interest over here and cult interest over the water back in the day, and T? did several tours there - Kerrang covered many of them. Had they done the Lollapoolza tour in 94, things might have been different but I doubt if the boys could do it now

I recall Andy saying this on stage at Aberystwyth before the band went into Don’t Expect Roses, November 1998:

Michael’s Catholic, I’m Prodestant, Graham’s from Southern Ireland and Martin’s from England and if you believe in what a politician says, then we should’nt be on this stage.

I remember those words (or to that effect) pretty well.

And I wasn’t there - damn

The guitar does sound detuned, Squall, but that said it did grow on me

My copy finally came this morning.

Verdict - live albums are usually hit and miss affairs and this isn’t any different (oh god, I sense some of you lot are sharpening the knives as you read this) but most tracks come off a lot better than their studio originals.

Thumbs up from me too ;-)

Pre-ordered mine from HMV three weeks ago but they’re now getting their supplies from a stockest before they send me a copy.

What a pain in the arse.

Its not T?’s fault or the management but the distributers not getting them to the warehouses on time. Christ, release dates, can’t rely on ‘em.

Can I listen to this? If so, how?

Gimme, relapses are not uncommon and I say that from experience, but three days ain’t that bad for a first go.

Welcome to the world of us T? maniacs Mike ;-)

Guys, I’m glad I signed in when I saw this post as I went without for two months, only to start again when I went through a bad spell. I had been trying to give up on and off for years now, and the last time I wanted to give up, it was going very well until I hit a bout of lowness and started smoking daily again.

My mother says if I go through those days again, just buy a packet of 10 and try again the next day. She meant well but it hardly worked.

I used an inhalater and they do work and intend to go back to using that shortly. That said, I worry about those black days coming back and I go through several mood swings and want to smoke, what do I do then?

Cheers, and many congrets to those who have given up ;-)

It sounds like a very old programme. I’ve been listening to it for the last hour and its very crackly, no doubt when Radio 1 was still playing seven inches.

just ordered mine, hehe

I’ve just clicked ‘like’ - see you there

I was pretty close to buying Wheels of Steel today. Didn’t get it but will do eventually.

Its hard to think now that Maiden and Saxon were pretty close rivels back in the day, where one of them would be the biggest Heavy Metal in the world.

And we know who won there.

Here’s a thought - if Venom didn’t mess around and ended up being the idiots that made bad records after Black Metal, would they be as big as Metallica?
Also, if Def Leppard continued to make albums like On Through The Night, with the sound that they lost a few years later, would they be as big as they were in the late 80’s?

this should be good, a best of…recorded live, fan faves n all
