will never understand salt & vinegar being in a blue packet.

what, salt & vinegar in a blue packet is the one that makes sense - why would you put cheese & onion in a blue packet

Salt & Vinegar is purple here. Cheese and onion is a mustardy colour. Chicken is green. Original is blue.

seems a bit early to get upset about a lyric without, you know, knowing the rest of the lines, but then perhaps james murphy is considered this generation's henry james in terms of his wry cultural politicking of the transatlantic divide so people have high expectations?

If ILX were a band it would be LCD Soundsystem, such is it's insane/playful/angst ridden/funny multiple layers of irony and detatchment.

I don't think anyone is, y'know, supposed to take that line at face value.

Salt & vinegar = blue
Cheese & onion = green

Walkers are disgusting savages.

Good in Ireland but nearly always stale when they get to the UK.

Best used to be Quentin's Crisps.

do you think we can get a workable standard for chip packets drafted by the time this album leaks or what

Rule 1 - don't call them chips.

Matt DC, Wednesday, 31 March 2010 12:14 (fourteen years ago) link

we call them crisps, and you do not - so shut up about chips

Obama's been in power for a whole year and he hasn't even fixed that one yet. No wonder people are already calling his presidency a failure.

so I'll shut up

j0rdslovesomedude (acoleuthic), Wednesday, 31 March 2010 12:41 (fourteen years ago) link

c&o in red = acceptable imo

c&o in mustard = can see the logic but somehow revolting

s&v in purple = bit forceful but ok -- worcestershire sauce is correct colour astringency however

chicken in green = ew wtf gross

i hate how all the action on ilm threads for big new releases happens well before the actual release

chicken is really the problem one i feel, especially if you factor lime & cracked pepper in there

haitch, Wednesday, 31 March 2010 12:44 (fourteen years ago) link

fall back jonathan crisp, no one is factoring in poncey flavour variations here

Calling chips "crisps" is the first step toward socialism.
