I pulled out "Everything Picture" again and I have to say it holds up pretty well in my book (the 40 minute title track is still pretty absurd though). I'm going to guess l0u1s jagg3r was a fan.

good guess
(this thread is the biggest Noodle Vague bait ever, so much so that I can only presume Dave Q was an early sockpuppet of his)

Also it's not a 30 or 40 minute closing track, it's a 22-minute closing track with a load of silence then a secret track at the end. And it's ace.

To myself, I call the section from about 5:30 to 7:30 "The Great Gig In The Galaxy".

RONG. DQ - guy from Canada. He mlived in Londodn, I dunno if he still does.
And, to answer Ricky T's question from all those years ago, yes, I did (briefly) play for the sleepies. It was not a happy experience.

one I saw was pretty good and they closed with an excellent new song, 'sovereign heart'

i gotta say my favourite post-ultrasound thing is the minuteman album. in fact some days i prefer it to everything picture

apparently there's a new ultrasound single 'welfare state' out at the end of next month
who woulda thunk

the track 'sovereign heart' lj mentions above is the b-side

Excellent comeback single from these guys. The lyrics are really great and kind of honest.
They never topped Kurt Russel for me, maybe my favourite B-side of all time.
― Kitchen Person, Saturday, 6 August 2011 04:37 (1 year ago) Permalink
yeah that was their highpoint for sure. i pretty much loved everything they did up to the album, which i still feel would have been vastly improved by chopping off the, uh, long piece
― he shit me and it felt like a piss (electricsound), Saturday, 6 August 2011 05:00 (1 year ago) Permalink
my cd player came with a special button that let you stop listening when the long piece started if u couldn't handle it

Entire Mayflower ep their highpoint really.
― Tim F, Saturday, 6 August 2011 05:02 (1 year ago) Permalink
haha because it wasn't on the album and this predated youtube I'd never heard "I'll Show You Mine..." until just then.
It's not very good.
― Tim F, Saturday, 6 August 2011 05:04 (1 year ago) Permalink
an album where half of it has to be skipped can't be very good, y'know?
― he shit me and it felt like a piss (electricsound), Saturday, 6 August 2011 05:09 (1 year ago) Permalink
Was there a single disc version of the album incidentally?
― Tim F, Saturday, 6 August 2011 05:13 (1 year ago) Permalink
it's the last track on the 2nd CD of a nouveau prog record released in an era when record companies wd stick a free pair of jesus' testes on a bonus disc if they thought it wd help shift a few copies, i don't think of it as a major flaw tbh
― i'm sorry for whatever (Noodle Vague), Saturday, 6 August 2011 05:14 (1 year ago) Permalink
tim: the standard UK version was single-disc
― he shit me and it felt like a piss (electricsound), Saturday, 6 August 2011 05:22 (1 year ago) Permalink
welp anyway i coincidentally have my copy here in front of me and save for 'aire & calder' i don't remember how any of the non-single tracks go. so perhaps i'm being unfair
― he shit me and it felt like a piss (electricsound), Saturday, 6 August 2011 05:23 (1 year ago) Permalink
Okay so "Welfare State" is pretty hilair.
― Tim F, Saturday, 6 August 2011 05:30 (1 year ago) Permalink
I don't remember there being a single disc version of Everything Picture. I always liked the album but I was expecting so much more. I've no idea why Fame Thing was on there and Kurt Russell wasn't.
A few years later I made my own version of the album which I play a lot more these days.

Yeah the new single is kind of ridiculous but really great. Hope they do more live shows this year, I saw them last November and it was such a blast.

I read the album is out September 24th on Fierce Panda. It's called Play For Today.

I only know this as I seem to get constant updates from them after liking them on Facebook. Probably will buy this to be honest.
