March is the b-side to adeadenemy but for some reason isn’t on the digital releases, i stumbled on Preoccupation online somewhere a while back and it’s apparently from some Australian tour 7" of Stand By Your Manatee that i never knew existed.

i stuck em both on youtube cos i liked them so much and don’t seem to be available to buy anywhere (if you’re reading this Falco i can take em down if you’d prefer)

“I realise that but you’re wearing a Tool t-shirt, so your opinion is invalid. The only way you could have made it worse for yourself is by coming in and wearing a t-shirt that said “Reverend and the Makers” or…and or…CAST.”

nice! i still miss Kelson a bit.

might try and make it to the dvd recording if my friend is up for it, but glasgow might be the easiest option. haven’t seen them in ages.

It’s great that they’ve got Ian Catskilkin from Art Brut covering live guitars for them now, but he doesn’t seem to have that unhinged stage presence Kelson or Jimmy had. Someone needs to tell him to start climbing on stuff / running round the audience.

yeah, the Unhinged Welshman role is a fine tradition dating all the way back to Jon Chapple

One of the best Jimmy Watkins moments I’ve seen was at their Heaven gig few years back. Jimmy got some chap out of the audience, taped a beer can to his head and used him as a human beer can (pouring him out to the audience). Then, he did a Club Tropicana cover, then climbed on someone’s shoulders, and rode through the audience waving a sausage on a stick. #Propermusic #Properhaircuts #Propersausageonastick

Love this band. One of the ones that have been around since I got properly into live music at 17, and have never disappointed me since. They had a gig supporting Les Savy Fav at the Astoria in 2008 which was the first one me and my mates travelled a considerable distance to go see, going from the dizzying heights of North Yorkshire.

Weird to think that they’ve been a mainstay of my listening habits/gig going for my entire adult life. Hope that continues for a while yet! Really enjoying the new album the more I listen to it.

Spent some of the day making a playlist with an arbitrary 13 track limit:

  1. Arming Eritrea
  2. The Real Meaning of Christmas
  3. Male Gaze
  4. Running All Over The Wicket
  5. Manchasm
  6. Polymers Are Forever
  7. Beneath The Waves An Ocean
  8. Back When I Was Brilliant
  9. You Need Satan More Than He Needs You
  10. The Lord Hates A Coward
  11. French Lessons
  12. Adeadenemeyalwayssmellsgood
  13. Throwing Bricks at Trains

The chorus of Arming Eritrea, even after all this time, still makes me feel like I can easily sprint up a massive mountain.

I was at that gig too. Los Camp on the bill as well right?

#39

That’s right aye! Forgot about that. At the time I liked Los Campesinos but not a lot, saw them play at Leeds festival the same summer though and they were great.

What the hell happened to Les Savy Fav? It’s been six years since the last album
