Wall of Mouths

I have the white bloody clown long sleeve Die Laughing one. I ordered the black Shortsharpshock one years ago and they sent me the Die laughing one by mistake. To be fair though I think it kinda sucks, looks like a Stephen Kings IT rip off. The “He who fights monsters…” quote on the back is cool though. I’d still rather have the SSS one.

I beg to differ, my dreads are great!

Dreads don’t have to smell. Its a common misconception that dreads only work if they aren’t washed. This isn’t true. In fact clean dreads knot up faster and are easier to manage. You just have to use dread shampoo that does not have conditioners in. I use either Dreadheadhq or Knotty Boy shampoos on mine which you can find on the internet (ebay) easily.

Dreads are quite a lot of work for the first 6 months, but then it’s easy as hell, easier than normal hair actually. Oh and don’t use synthetic hair, thats not real dreads. Even with thin hair you can make dreads because as they develop the puff up.

Ginger cut his dreads off! It’s like the end of the world as we know it! I’m not cutting mine damn it!

I’m sure it was mentioned in a official capacity that there were to be more live dates in the UK toward the end of the year. But if they are doing the new album then I can’t see it happening. Poor show. Or no show I suppose…

A simple ‘no I don’t like’ would have sufficed!

He’s not naked, he’s clearly wearing a body suit, and I don’t think he’s supposed to be throwing up. I see it more as he’s hiding his head, or senses (particularly hearing), away from the world and its ‘status quo’, and into the bin which could represent something out of the ordinary, something alternative and underground, which happens to be Troublegum.

Anyway, it’s open to different interpretations, which was surely the whole idea, and this makes it great artwork. The Guardian is clueless.

you do all know that a hook is basically one or two lines sung overr again and get lodged in your brain

an not whole chunks of lyrics like a few of you have quoted right?

I think a hook is any part of a track that gets ‘hooked’ in you brain, could be a lyric, could be a short solo, a pinch harmonic, a scream, a chord change, etc etc.

Lots of bands and their members are/were junkies; Slash, RHCP, Nirvana, etc etc. The drugs played a massive part in influencing the music we love.

There is, however, absolutely no excuse for wasters like Pete Doherty. He is famous for taking drugs, not for making music. That’s the difference between him and all the other musicians mentioned in this thread. He is a complete waste of perfectly good oxygen, and anyone who has convinced themselves he is talented and some kind of a role-model really needs to reconsider a lot about themselves and what they think is admirable in life.

She’s damn hot though…

How come I can’t find it on hmv.co.uk, play.com or amazon.co.uk?

The new album is literally brilliant. Getting better and better.

Love it!

Rock n fucking roll!

Cardiff gig was immense , best ive seen them to date.

So was there much of a mosh? Coz at the Bristol gig there was no more than 15 people jumping around, and there can’t have been more than 200 - 300 people there in total.

The Bristol gig was bizarre. It was about a 1/3 full for a start which isn’t great, and the mosh was about 5 people strong. Not great for the feel of the gig.

Ginger was totally off form too. Hardly said a word. Although I guess that could be down to the crowd being shit. I love small gigs, but when the venue is less than half full and no one looks like they’re enjoying it hardly gives the band much to feed off. Or maybe it’s coz they are clean now!

Or maybe it’s coz they were playing half hour down the road the foloowing night in Cardiff. Maybe the gig would have been better if both teh Bristol and Cardiff crowds were at the same gig.

How was the Cardiff gig ‘I’ve Got The Knives’? Or anyone else who went?

Listened to it about 10 times now and it’s clearly album of the year so far.

Possibly the best Wildhearts album ever???

Seeing them live tonight, bring it on!!!

I’ve got a gemil tattoo too. I’ve had it for nearly 10 years now and I still love it.

And yes you can get them reinked and then it looks brand new again.

Apparently the temporary tattoos are not that great because they slowly fade at different levels so you could end up with half a tattoo in a couple of years time.

Despite the release date supposedly being 23rd, I just found the new album in Fopp in Bristol, and apparently they’ve had it on sale since last week!

Just listening now, the first track is huge! Could’ve been lifted off Fishing For Luckies.

It really is like old Wildhearts. So many bands say their new album is gonna be a return to past glories but that never works out, but appears to be here.

Can’t wait til Tuesday for the gig!

I can’t find any Wildhearts stuff on there. Rubbish.

Excellent choon!

Nice one Ginger and co!

See you in Bristol!

I was in a pub the other day and realised I was listening to the original version of Nice n Sleazy. Pretty cool.

I managed ok from the 7digital site.

Can’t believe I have to waste 2 CD’s to convert WMA’s into MP3’s though.

Is there really no better way to do this electronically?

There is deffo more than one point on OCFA where the drums are completely blurred out. Shame.

Having said that, Nurse has got pretty bad production but we all love that.

Public service broadcast over.

Have a nice day!

It’s gotta be:

Therapy?
The Wildhearts
Alexisonfire
36 Crazyfists
NoFX

That covers rock, post-hardcore, metal and punk. Nice.

but i still have never touched the drugs. the booze and cigarettes have always sufficed for me.

What’s the point in not doing drugs if you insist on poisoning your body with alcohol and cigarettes? You’ll die of lung cancer or liver failure before any recreational drug use causes you any harm, so you may as well have some fun with drugs before your painful death.

It’s on SonyConnect, but I think you may have to use the Sony Sonic Stage software to get it. Which isn’t a problem for me coz I use it anyway with my Sony MP3 player, but I’m not spending £25 on it so it doesn’t really matter.

I wouldn’t mind being able to review it, but that would require the option of downloading the album, which is apparently not possible.

Fucking clown shoes…

I’ve just realised that most albums have a shopping cart symbol next to the album and the individual tracks, but MTACT only has the symbol next to the tracks. There is no option to buy the album as a whole.

I can only find it on Sony Connect, HMV and Vodafone doesn’t have it.

I don’t really have a problem with buying digital downloads, but when problems like this happen it starts to get really annoying. There should be a specific release date, on specific sites, with straight forward dowloading. We should not have to battle to buy the music we want. Really pissed off with the whole thing.

No answer from anyone then?

Is it possible to buy it for less than £25 coz I can’t work it out.

So I just found the MFACT on the Sony Connect site, which I’ve never used before, but when you select all the tracks the total comes to almost £25!

That can’t be right? With downloads isn’t there normally a price for each track then a cheaper one for the entire album?
