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 ..)

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...
― Who whom kissed? (imago), Thursday, 12 June 2014 20:03 (nine years ago) link
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...
― Who whom kissed? (imago), Thursday, 12 June 2014 20:18 (nine years ago) link
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.

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.

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...
― Quack and Merkt (Tom D.), Thursday, 30 April 2015 20:38 (nine years ago) link
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 .. )

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.

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.
― mark e, Monday, 7 September 2015 16:21 (eight years ago) link
ahh .. I see the debut is getting the deluxe 2cd treatment as well !
― mark e, Monday, 7 September 2015 16:25 (eight years ago) link
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.
― Kitchen Person, Monday, 7 September 2015 18:20 (eight years ago) link
Check the Cherry Red site, I think it is coming out on vinyl... or has already.
― Fields of Fat Henry (Tom D.), Monday, 7 September 2015 18:29 (eight years ago) link
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.
― Kitchen Person, Wednesday, 13 January 2016 19:46 (eight years ago) link
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.
― mark e, Thursday, 14 January 2016 14:45 (eight years ago) link
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.
― Kitchen Person, Thursday, 14 January 2016 16:03 (eight years ago) link
i know what the treat is .. well kind of : an extra 7"don't know whats on it though.
― mark e, Thursday, 14 January 2016 17:48 (eight years ago) link
Where are you ordering these?
― djh, Thursday, 14 January 2016 23:05 (eight years ago) link
Haven't ordered my vinyl yet. Will probably order from here. Seems to be the only place you can get the Closed box set.
