he spent months detailing all the new videos he was making then too
presumably the rest of the performance is just him pressing play on quicktime and then singing over the top, I don't think he rly played anything himself. there was the bloke over on the right hand side though.

was worth it for him telling everyone to hang their heads in shame tho

so it turns out this is a support slot for Gary Numan performing The Pleasure Principle in full

Retiring in 2010, SEVERED HEADS will nonetheless come together once again to play at the Sydney show for electro-pioneer Gary Numan, and, prior to that, will give their final live to air performance TONIGHT on NEW WEIRD AUSTRALIA. Over 50 minutes in length, this exclusive SEVERED HEADS set will not be broadcast or performed anywhere else. A little slice of Australian music history tonight on FBi, be sure not to miss it!
streaming on http://www.fbiradio.com/ from 9pm AEST

inevitable but also sort of depressing to start the podcast with Dead Eyes Opened (which I love unreservedly, btw)

In an alternate universe "Hot With Fleas" is a chart-topping song

RA may have required it (they often meddle with dj podcasts, sending them back to the artist and asking for edits, additions, etc)
― geeta, Friday, 25 January 2013 21:02 (eleven years ago) link
Sounds like the sort of bullshit they’d pull.
― Chewshabadoo, Friday, 25 January 2013 22:40 (eleven years ago) link
uh I haven't listened but presumably RA put the music bits into the interview, Ellard didn't play them off his phone between questions

he should have

as if he keeps Sevs tracks on his own devices

i can't even begin to imagine what he actually listens to for pleasure
― dutch tl;drs (electricsound), Saturday, 26 January 2013 06:03 (eleven years ago) link
I remember an interview circa 1989 in an alt-industrial magazine where Tom was asked what he likes to listen to. Tom excited said "Madonna, oh and lots of Middle Eastern and Indian soundtracks, pretty much." (paraphrasing)

No, it's just everything all in one spot. Again. Which rules.

I thought he was hosting them directly on sevcom.com
― Call me at **BITCOIN (DJP), Wednesday, 24 April 2013 20:45 (eleven years ago) link
Yeah I think the change is making it newly available this way. And why not?
― Ned Raggett, Wednesday, 24 April 2013 20:49 (eleven years ago) link
I also hadn't realized how many things he'd added to some of these albums; there are tracks on Cuisine I've never even heard of before, for example, because I never looked at what he was offering there because I have the CD

these have been on bandcamp for quite a while, though they went up completely without fanfare

Ellard's blog is worth a read. His recent "Five reasons why I’m not an ‘artist’" is great
― Elvis Telecom, Friday, 5 July 2013 23:32 (eleven years ago) link
And also from his blog, thanks to Dan Selzer for the tipoff:

Essentially an overview of Ellard's musical education, what he listened to, how, etc.
― Ned Raggett, Thursday, 1 August 2013 05:08 (eleven years ago) link
Amazing to read what he was getting and who he was getting it from, concisely. So many favorites and things you wouldn't immediately think, and connections being drawn across all kinds of favorites.

couple SH reissues coming out on Dark Entries.

And said reissues would appear to be these:

This news led to discussion on FB about them and a friend just posted this amazing story:
After they opened for Skinny Puppy at The Roxy in '86, I was sufficiently flabbergasted that I walked up to Tom post-show and stuttered something stupid like "Bu ... bu ... but ... how do you DO that?"He fixed me with the patented Tom Ellard Thousand Yard Stare and replied,"Well it's not DRUGS if that's what you mean!"

also that one track

― ugh (lukas), Thursday, 8 May 2014 00:05 (ten years ago) link
If I can be a bit of pedant that review kinda annoyed me:
"Dark Entries will press up an extended version of "Dead Eyes Opened" along with two other tracks, "Bullet" and "Mount.""
In other words...the Dead Eyes Opened single, which is that long, and featured those two songs.
― dan selzer, Thursday, 8 May 2014 04:13 (ten years ago) link
new "solo" ellard

i've been playing 'harold and cindy hospital' a lot lately - love the total switch-up from punishing slo-mo death-stomp to that really pretty synth melody

Last Thursday they debuted the first "new" Heads material since 2007, a 20-minute piece which was performed live as an entire radio session. Streamable here.
