Mouldy old dough by Earl Brutus.

It's the first day of the World Cup and I have Earl Brutus and The Pre New stuck in my head

likewise.
was in the studio two weeks ago with the pre new crew as part of a male choir/football gang thing to help re the bands second album.
ended up being one of the best things ever to happen in my life.
a totally surreal experience given the source of the connection.
(i slept on jamie frys sofa .. and then p*ssed in the direction of a genuine david bowie signed album sleeve ..)

:D

Rarely have the postmodern and the Real mixed so exuberantly, or so well

agreed.
surreal to the extreme.
my head was spinning, and not just from the excess booze.
i kept having these 'hang on mark, what the f*ck is actually happening here' moments.
thankfully, such moments of clarity were interrupted by a lot of laffs.
and booze of course.

Envious! It sounds like a truly mighty experience. And a productive one. My soundtrack for the next month gains further resolve...

no idea if productive.
they may wipe the recordings ..
which would be totally understandable.
but yes, you should be envious.
i was.
of myself.
[ as for the tracks we helped towards .. oh my god .. ]

Cathedral City Comedown still one of my favourite songs of the last few years - if they've matched or even beaten it...

not sure you will put what we did on that level.
was another cover version.
no idea as to the final result.
time will tell.

That's an amazing story Mark. Add me to the very envious club.

no envy required until you hear the end result !

'mouldy old dough .. '

bloody hell.
chas-n-dave do not do this as part of their current live set
i genuinely thought they would.

amazingly my mad day with this lot, as mentioned up thread, is actually featured on the new album.
me on an album that people can buy in shops.
wonders will never cease.
even my dad ('how much were you paid !!?' : his standard response to my website/blog/writing groove) was kind of impressed.
subsequently, despite my well known denial of vinyl love, i have gone and ordered the big limited boxset edition with cd/vinyl/mp3/PDF versions of the album.
so far the reviews (q, mojo, tQ etc) have been rather positive.
cannot deny it all feels rather weird.

Nice one.

haha ..

( i am assuming that's an intentional quote as opposed to a generic response .. )

can't wait for this

Mark, we're almost certain to be in the same room at some Pre New thing or other, so we should endeavour to introduce ourselves to each other... not sure how...

i wish that were the case Tom D, but i rarely leave my house these days.

however, i will of course let you know via this thread should i ever venture out again for this bunch of f*ckers.

if you have checked the studio photos of the day i have mentioned (they all were posted on the bands facebook page, i am the bald f*cker in the spiderman t-shirt .. )

Album launch maybe? I'll be there anyway.

cant make it to that :(

tell jim you know me, and demand a drink !

I'll tell Jim he knows me and demand two drinks.

too right tom d !

(reviews for the album so far have been really good - hence i am seriously keen to hear it !)

MRI scanners and estate agents with shit aftershave

Blue shirt guy looks like a cross between Steve Pemberton and Matthew Kelly.

Funny thing, my ebay notification showed up Iljan Darc, couldn't recall why.

So, I looked into it and found he did a German cover version of MOD.

its on its way to me now.

That is Jim Fry btw (xp)

now that's a fucking review.

cannot wait to hear this album.

'janet vs john: the outcome' is amaaaazing

Tonight You Are The Special One: Expanded Edition

brilliant news !
will be nice to have clean versions of the b-sides.
larky for example is bloody fantastic.

ahh .. I see the debut is getting the deluxe 2cd treatment as well !

I was hoping they'd bring these out on vinyl too. I don't think Tonight You Are The Special One ever got a vinyl release and I'd love to get it.

Check the Cherry Red site, I think it is coming out on vinyl... or has already.

YES! It's coming out on November 13th. I am absolutely chuffed. I managed to pick up the Your Majesty vinyl cheap a few years ago. This has made my day.

What a band!

Just listening to these albums as I'm reviewing them this week. Trying to get my head around what I can say about this perfect band.

as soon as these were announced i ordered both expanded editions, and the special ltd edition box, i.e. CLOSED, to put them in.

according to a FB post, the first 47 orders of said package gets an extra treat.

given that i ordered the whole lot within minutes of the announcement i am hoping to be part of the 47.

I'm going with the vinyl. I couldn't justify getting the CDs as well right now. I'm sure I will regret that when I see what the extra treat is.

i know what the treat is .. well kind of : an extra 7"
don't know whats on it though.

Where are you ordering these?

Haven't ordered my vinyl yet. Will probably order from here. Seems to be the only place you can get the Closed box set.

yup .. thats where i got it from ..

fuck.

not a member of the 47.

time to listen to LODGER loud.

a good write up re the boxset :

My reviews finally went up today. You can definitely tell they written by an Earl Brutus fanboy but I just couldn't hold back.
