Sleaford Mods

Matador 7" is a hole in the collection, can't find it anywhere.

Woof, is there any chance you could pick me up a copy of the 7" split with Sudden Infant that will be on sale tonight? Gossip suggests it's only available in very small numbers so unlikely it's be on sale anywhere other than the 100 Club.

no problem - I'll look for it and report back tomorrow on success/failure.

7" split with Sudden Infant

amazing, love this even if I never hear it

they're also doing a single on Iron Lung which is comparably ill-fitting/excellent

no-one seems to sell any of the Matador singles club releases, even by bands who aren't quite as collectible rn

The Anton Newcombe-released 'Fizzy' is starting shipping today as well.

FWIW, the Matador 7" tracks are also on Chubbed Up: The Singles Collection, which is on digital release already and vinyl release very soon.

Meanwhile, Jason goes pro:

25 long fuckin years setting that alarm clock have ended. Ello tunes.

did someone come along and offer more ££/$$ that matador then ?

It was his last day at work today, apparently. The plan was always to give it up this autumn, as demand for gig bookings grew.

live the dream.

they totally deserve a few years of fun.

Aldo - split single acquired - I think my ilx mail works (also on twitter)

i have the routine dean 45, ws (would sell)

ended up snaffling woof's spare ticket, which led to a slightly odd evening of going to the first half of what I was originally doing - watching Andreas Staier on fortepiano at the Wigmore Hall doing Schubert moments musicaux, Schumann fantasiestücke (after ETA Hoffman), and some Beethoven bagatelles. This was a remarkable, slightly more forceful set of interpretations than you'll hear in other performances. I find the Fantasiestücke (Op 12) slightly inscrutable, but the intricacy and lyricism of the Schubert pieces, makes you feel like you're looking into a momentary scene in which the detail is revelatory and meaningful - like a piece of lyrical memory that stays with you forever despite its slightness. also by fuck it makes you want to be in Vienna.

then hotfooted it to the 100 Club and watched Sudden Infant, Consumer Electronics and Seaford Mods - all of whom were very good I thought. Inventive belligerence of different types, with some tasty crowd antagonism on the part of Consumer Electronics. Not a huge amount of flexibility in the SM approach, but when Jason's going full whack it's very entertaining and generally bucks up the spirit.

schubert and philip best on the same transplanted bill. the city of wonders

Seaford Mods

seems to be a local tribute act to everyone round our way now

ha! whoops.

loool

Woof and Jim, will mail when I get home in a couple of hours.

Nottingham's getting a lot of them at the moment: they supported The Pop Group earlier this week, and they're supporting The Specials very soon (the latter also nationally).

Aldo - got your email but you may need to send another with your email in - I think I can only reply to the ilx robot.

Going tonight to the 100 Club. So skint I dare not go for the supports for fear I'll spend money at the bar.

Resent!

^the Sleaford Mods manifesto

worry about not having enough money to get drunk at a show, 1) definitely been there and 2) also a very Sleaford Mods concern

bring a flask!

I would shank a kitten to see Sleaford Mods and the Pop Group

"i can't believe you had kids" is the greatest insult outside of a Half Man Half Biscuit record.

The other day, after a particularly shit day, I was on the bus home listening to the Tiswas EP. I tweeted that it was a very Sleaford Mods kind of journey home. They tweeted back. A minute after I got off the bus, I was hit by a car. Not hurt, but the only way it could have been more Sleaford Modsesque would have been if I'd spilt a can of beer when hit by the car.

Or if you'd been hit by a crap caravan.

Looking like a fun weekend down here in Bristol - Simple Things festival tomorrow with Mogwai / Harvey / Zomby / SOPHIE etc then I've just found out that Sleaford Mods are playing the Exchange on Sunday. Perfect way to spend a hungover Sunday eve tbh.

just a headsup, Bristol date is sold out I believe

The release is now back ON the schedule again for the USA.
Coming out 11/24 through Ipecac.

Ah bollocks you're right. Cheers for the heads up Mencap xp

nyc show 11/29 yall

no one? gonna be a good time man except for the $7 beers

they were fucking great in Utrecht last week. Maybe the highlight of the festival.

killed in BK - whole show is up in HD on Youtube. Williamson took a pint on the dome for no reason at all

does anyone know about this stuff on youtube that appears to be off something called The Originator? must be an early release, because they are using more samples that I'm sure weren't cleared, like Creedence here:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I6_U3iz6yxU

The Originator is the third album and maybe the first one that shows what we think of as 'current' SM all the way through, although still two albums before Fearney turns up.

That track is on Re-Tweeted, which is basically the highlights of the first four albums plus a track from Wank that didn't make it onto Austerity Dogs.

track 4 on the new album by The Prodigy
'Ibiza' feat. Sleaford Mods

!

hahahahaha that's so perfect

ooh, a fucking pharoah in a fucking pyramid album

Recorded a track ("Ibiza") with the Prodigy

i think these guys are gonna blow the fuck up in 1977

https://twitter.com/sleafordmods/status/572922870952812544

i gather from this thread these guys have been around a while but the two or three songs i've heard basically sound like mclusky who weren't exactly without obvious precedent themselves so these guys writing to the guardian to say it's all just shitty rehashes of quality from yesteryear sure takes BALLS imo

Prefer these to the godawful Mclusky to be honest. Can do without the extra-musical gobshite espousings of either.

first paragraph

Rock star posing does my head in. Mate, you are not sexy, you are not Brad Pitt, stop it. Comical rock stardom, classroom posing, is a redundant gimmick, a yesteryear stage prop.

last paragraph

It’s got to be raw. No excuses. Not now.

do love that the first bit of "related content" at the bottom of the page is about noel gallagher
