They’re some great early photos on that link Alan

I think a cover version of No Limit by 2 Unlimited is called for.

I can just picture Neil and Michael pounding out that rhythm…

Happy Birthday Andy, save some of the cake for us!

yeah it more likely would be “deaf” but I’m almost certain andy sings “death” rather than “deaf”

it seems more likely than “deaf” was on the lyric sheet

But as its a demo, mistakes are bound to be everywhere

I wonder if Martin and Andy were serious about this as a side project, in terms of releasing material, or was it just larking about with songs that didnt “fit” the Therapy sound or were rejects from the Infernal Love sessions

If anything was released or re-released, I think it would negatively affect the band. If, the people who bought say Troublegum and dont know the band even exist now were to get into the band again, then I think it would just increase the emphasis on Troublegum on the setlist. The argument of re-releasing Babyteeth etc is not a great one to me, they are pretty obscure records and this sort of thing would only appeal to completists.

Look at U2, the supposed biggest band in the world, their re-releases of their first three albums are only bought by the most hardcore of their fans, considering their wide appeal it seems like a bit of a fruitless enterprise and even more so for a band of T?’s scale. So economically there isn’t much of an argument. Artistically, unless the band have an actual problem with Babyteeth et al in their current state, then why bother releasing them? Why rehash?

To be honest I quite like the lo-fi tone and low quality of babyteeth and pleasure death. If everybody’s debut album was re-released because it wasn’t a beefy, sheeny, large-sounding album we would have nothing but re-releases in our record stores

I dont wanna see another retrospective, at least not yet. I’d rather wait ten years or so for a box of rarities spanning the band’s full career rather than a focus on one album. T? have just released Music From A Cheap Transistor and Webgig recently (remember they didnt get enough votes for any songs of their last album) so I would not be happy if there was such a paucity of new material being released. I want new stuff more than this “golden era” nonsense.

If I remember rightly, the Manics Holy Bible had a completely different American mix, which perhaps was a strong reason to release it to fans.

Thats fucking marvellous. having never heard C.C. Rider before, it was a nice introduction.

Oh one of the audience looks kinda like Michael Winner

its funny that everyone is focusing on andy’s hair just because we weren’t given a sample of some new music.

Unless that is the new music…

If so, the drums are a bit low on this one as well ;)

i agree, although i didnt hear it live, when i bought OCFA i put it on my dodgy player and like an idiot turned the volume wayyyy up during Outro thinking there was something wrong… Sprung certainly benefits from that opening!

Marie Celeste lyric attempt:

On the Marie Celeste
I was the only one left
Bruised, buggered and death
Left bleeding to death
On the Marie Celeste

All the others had gone
I was the only one on
Drying dead on the floor
No head for my health
On the Marie Celeste

All my company’s gone
My friends have been torn
Out of my clinging hands
I’m friends with the damned
On the Marie Celeste

There’s no-one else here
My oath disappeared (?)
They were lost in the night
Everything didn’t right
On the Marie Celeste

What do you do if the things that you see
Are suddenly taken away?
Nothing is here but an empty hand
You want a slap in your face
On the Marie Celeste

Marie Celeste
On the Marie Celeste
There was nothing else left
We were put to the test
On the Marie Celeste

Everything was destroyed
Nature used us like toys
Cast us back in it’s face
An awful disgrace
On the Marie Celeste

What do you do when the world you know
Is suddenly taken away?
You scream at yourself but there’s nothing to do
Maybe it should be this way
Maybe you know what you’d take

On the Marie Celeste

Here’s my attempt to but lyrics to Serge, it’s the best i can do

I look through tired red eyes
Inside your way you find you’ll know the way
Only there in-between us

I think of silent things
And everything they bring when you’re meeting me
I can’t hear what you’re saying

I’m listening to you, I’m watching you move
Trying (dying?) to figure my way around the room
I am alone, you’re in-between us
In you an me sometimes
I’ll be there when you mean it

And looking dark inside
That feeling that I know we’ve arrived again
Cold and shiver (…)

Is love for older things
I know that you won’t bring this down to me
This one I won’t believe in

I’m listening to you, I’m watching you move
Trying to find my way around the room
I am alone, this in-between us
Between us
I’ll be there when you mean it

I try wake anyway
I watch you freeze and then waste away
I won’t hear you go when the way? outside you way inside

I squint through tired red eyes
Through something I despise that’s left me here
I can feel it and need it

I take it all away and leave this here but I don’t know next(?)
I just trip when I’m sleeping

I’m listening to you, I’m watching you move
Trying to feel my way around the room
I am alone, this in-between us
In you an me sometimes
I’ll be there when you mean it

Its good to hear they are hoping for a world tour, 1-1.5 years, had talks about re-issues, the ‘dubstep’ new album etc etc.

That’s fucking great!

I’m always surprised when I hear people like 30 seconds. It’s one of my least favourite tracks and I think it has one of the most ill-advised, over-extended ending of any song. Give me Brainsaw, Stalk&Slash, Walk through Darkness or Potato Junkie over 30 Seconds any day of the week.

That’s a pretty good interview! First I had ever heard of “dubstep”, but Wikipedia has now enlightened me

Listen naysayers, can ye not reserve judgement until the album comes out? If you don’t like a WORK IN PROGRESS (sorry for caps, but some of ye are forgetting this lil’ caveat) then wait until the finished version to lambaste it. I’m sure it disheartens the band when people insult their work when they have the generosity to upload a film of them rehearsing.

I wish Therapy? in future don’t bother to upload anything before the release date as people attack it without considering it’s not a finished product yet. I personally like it, but if I didn’t like it, I wouldn’t comment negatively upon something that is still in a nascent state. I’m not saying we all should love it like a bunch of sheep, just cease with the negative comments.

I wouldn’t be surprised if there’s an instrumental on the new album. the name Mingusisyphus sounds like the a name you would give an instrumental track, although the clip shown very likely is not mingusisyphus.

I like it, sounds like another curveball of an album!

The translation from ass to donkey is hilarious. korean translation

You can’t put a precise timeline on writing/recording/producing something. there are so many factors involved in creating a finished product that its a bit churlish to complain if it’s a few months later than you expected it. I don’t know about everyone else, but my life doesn’t revolve so much around one band that i put a red circle around a particular month on my calendar. I don’t want any of my fave bands to turn into sausage factories, churning out albums at a set rate. we should cease acting as productivity inspectors and just enjoy the music when it comes out. I hate to say it, but some fans seem just one step away from drawing pie-charts and bar-graphs detailing the band’s projected rate of output. I think Teethgrinder was spot-on in his comment, cheers for the laugh as well mate!

Wow I thought they would be of much poorer quality than the first two, as they were done in the studio with Our Love Must Die. The latest three arent that bad, i think Andy was listening to a lot of Nick Cave for Marie Celeste

Gill?

Sounds promising!

Fyfe in Goth Cruise

http://www.gothcruisethemovie.com/

He’s doing the music apparently

Does anyone know where the photo images on the back of Babyteeth and Pleasure Death are taken from? I’m assuming they both are film stills

when im 50 i wanna be playing screamager in the nip buffed up with a moustache for the ‘enjoyment’ of the whole world. imagine.

hes somebody’s strange uncle. we all have one!

I want whatever drugs hes having…

I’m having difficulty seeing how anyone could like 30 seconds

For fuck’s sake, the Strokes are as dull as ditch water.

http://www.therapyquestionmark.co.uk/wallofmouths/discussions/5942/

she says something about wanting to sound like Radiohead or The Strokes and I remember Andy saying at one point (around Shameless) that graham said that the band should try to sound a bit more like them

i dont know if theyre slagging off T? or quoting Graham slagging off T?

what awful music, and its a shame because their influences are quite good
