Depressing how quickly I forgot about this album…
I’ve stuck with it - still in heavy rotation. I absolutely love it.
Cryptograms and Disappearing Ink?! fuck.
Biiiiiig interview with Bradford. Lots of interesting stuff in it.
Was anyone else totally unaware that Bradford designed the font used on an early Avril Lavigne album?
I saw that headline and presumed it was a very niche April fools …was it not?
I hope not
…the what now?
Yer lad Brad used to design typefaces as a hobby when he was a teenager, says he sent some off to Matador because he was a Pavement fan. One of the fonts he designed (and put up for free online?) was used on albums by Avril Lavigne and Papa Roach
Well, well…
Also, I like how most of these sound like Atlas Sound songtitles -
“Polaroid 22 appears in the list, alongside fonts named “Heroin Sheik,” “Athens,” “Aluminum Tunes,” “Metalic Avacado” and “Gold Dust Manuscript.”
Once again, I thought this was a joke but…
Thanks! And thank fuck it doesn’t clash with LGW.
Fingers crossed for an Irish date!
That’ll be a class gig. Both are at LGW and EOTR though so will probably give it a miss.
Brilliant, thanks for sharing.
and a Scottish one!
Took me a while to work out why Deerhunter might be playing London Gatwick, but it’s ok, I’m there now.
Might still hit up that Roundhouse show, even though I’ll be at EOTR.
Seeing them last night reminded me just how solid an album WHEAD is. Delighted they played a bunch of tracks from Halcyon Digest too.
Completely missed that Roundhouse poster, that should be a cracking gig!
