"Liveable Shit" is where the record really kicks in, that and "Under The Plastic" are the immediate standouts for me. I love how there are no breaks at all between the songs.

I wish these guys had their lyrics up somewhere.

I don't speed date
I buy speed
From single mothers who smoke in front of their kids
And keep their biscuits in the fridge
And their gear under the biscuit tin lid

drove through sleaford the other day. i'd imagined it was a nottingham suburb but it's way out in the flat south lincolnshire corn fields next to thatcher's hometown grantham. weird bit of the country next to the wash & not a lot going on

like the bits of the album when it sounds like they're having fun w/ the listener a lot more than when it drifts into Right On social commentary

his writing-style, subject-matter, tone and life situation remind me very strongly of our dear own xelab, which is a compliment to both

two weeks pass...

saw them last night, fun as hell. was stood next to a guy I vaguely know who yelled along to every word from every song about the grey drudgery of gainful employment. his own job literally involves ruining/endangering the lives of asylum seekers by organising dawn raids on their houses and deporting them back to whichever regime they fled. makes u think

whilst all of those points are reasonable, i still prefer to think of it as "some people might as well be informally executed because it's the only way they'll learn"

notwithstanding ppl's opinions on Mike Patton and/or his taste in music it seems like he just releases anything he enjoys so fair play imo

someone told me that Matador bailed on signing them and regretted it after the fact

for sale: Bebe's boots, never worn (DJ Mencap), Wednesday, 10 September 2014 07:28 (ten years ago) link

Yeah I mean, anyone putting them out's fine. I hope they do an annotated booklet with detailed explanation of cultural references for us Americans, though.

'ey, ya bleedoh, you got a right cob on' = 'You're in a rather foul mood, you silly man', in East Midlands speak, iirc.

Was thinking more along the lines of "Cameron's hairdresser got an MBE," which I had to Google.

isn't that some kinda medal, like they gave to John Lennon?

glad I will be able to buy this on vinyl without paying $28 for the Harbinger Sound import

They may be the gobbiest band in the UK – just ask Miles Kane – but there's a political fury behind their angry missives

one month passes...

If anyone wants to see them tonight (London, 100 club) I've got a spare ticket.

Matador put out a 7" as part of their singles club, though

Looks like the domestic (USA) release has been removed from the schedule now.

mr.raffles, Thursday, 23 October 2014 14:45 (ten years ago) link

Recorded a track ("Ibiza") with the Prodigy

willem, Thursday, 23 October 2014 14:57 (ten years ago) link

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.

the bowels are not what they seem (aldo), Thursday, 23 October 2014 15:02 (ten years ago) link

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

woof, Thursday, 23 October 2014 15:12 (ten years ago) link

7" split with Sudden Infant

amazing, love this even if I never hear it

sleeve, Thursday, 23 October 2014 15:23 (ten years ago) link

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.

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.

mit iodine (electricsound), Friday, 24 October 2014 09:10 (ten years ago) link

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.
