I saw them the other month and Nigel preceded Vatican Broadside with a rather lovely version of Laughing Len Cohen's Hallelujah. There was also a bit of The Mercy Seat in the middle of 24 Hour Garage People.

Possibly the most OTM thing in the history of ILM.

Look, my favourite song by them remains the one that caused me to fall in love with them in the first place "Reasons To Be Miserable". That doesn't mean I have a ready handy one-line quote from them, take pity on me, I'm an American. Thanks.

This is true. I thank the people on this thread for giving me the joy of listening to all the albums again for two days straight.
I just wish they could be like the Bonzos and have some kind of random mega hit single and make LOADS AND LOADS of money. Like what they deserve.

Nigel made enough money from that BP advert. Something like 100k.
― Dom Passantino, Wednesday, 30 May 2007 11:12 (seventeen years ago) link
BP Advert? Do tell!
― Mark G, Wednesday, 30 May 2007 11:14 (seventeen years ago) link
One of the BP adverts from the turn of the century (01?), the voiceover artist was Nigel Blackwell, for no real obvious reason. I think it was just someone in advertising was a massive HMHB fan and decided to get him a big payday.
― Dom Passantino, Wednesday, 30 May 2007 11:18 (seventeen years ago) link
ah right! Nice one, advertising person!
― Mark G, Wednesday, 30 May 2007 11:19 (seventeen years ago) link
There's an interview during one of the Kershaw sessions where Nigel says as long an album every couple of years is enough to keep him going. I'm assuming Neil does something else, since he didn't get a BP payday.

Chipping in to agree violently. A very average record wig some obvious parody and self-parody moments - "as told to the boil on the cab driver's neck" turns up on two albums on the spin, the second time repeated on this with a tired-sounding "again" tacked on - provide a veneer attempting to give he listener the impression there's more, but I think that's all it is; a veneer.
Baguette Dilemma Is supposed to be The Birthday Party, yes? Nigel comes in all hoarse and says "a-whoopin' and a-hollerin' " which I'm certain is a Nick Cave lift, and the bass solo that starts near the end is supposed to be Tracey Pew I'm sure.
At this time of my life I have no need for a HMHB instrumental track.
