Sleaford Mods

Bad move for the Sleaford Mods to hitch their wagon to such has-beens.

hey now the prodigy sound like aerosmith when placed next to newton faulkner

there I said it

Dud.

Don't know who Newton Faulkner is. But both the Mods and the Prodigy sound really old-fashioned right now. Their gigs are full of dudes in their forties. Not that there's anything wrong with that. Went to a couple of Exploited gigs in the 90s that were great fun.

I had to strain pretty hard to dredge up a target that would be as laughably "who? oh right, them" as SFG tbf

is that dog latin post real, the side comment about the US having REAL rock bands made me wonder if he was trying for his own ranty over music career

I never said anything about 'real' anything.

I apologize, you said GOOD

:)

Anyway, that Prodigy thing is really really terrible. may as well have got Keith Flint to shout 'oibeefa! Wass 'e fackin' doing?' over that sad excuse for a beat and saved Williamson the trouble.
enjoyed seeing them the other night at a packed out local show. surprised that the average age was, yes, about 45 or perhaps more. kind of expected there to be a bit of a hip, younger contingent but not really. spoke to the dad of a friend outside who was enthusing about them. then had to endure some grumpy bugger i know who hates everything go on about 'they're good but they'll never last unless they get a proper band together' which was pretty lol.

shit the Ibiza track is no good? i guess it was never going to be as good as we heard it in our heads in advance.

yeah the Dollar thing, ABC hired him for Lexicon.. because of the Dollar singles and then TH approached FGTH by which point he was already A Big Deal.

ibiza thing is like the worst 90's thing ever. i was never a fan though. dirtchamber thing was the only thing i ever liked by them.

hay scott

srsly though how can you not love "experience"

i guess it was never going to be as good as we heard it in our heads in advance.

The thing I'm hearing in my head in advance is fucking terrible, I can't think of any two acts more likely to bring out the absolute worst in one another.

...no comment xxp

that is actually wins in that painting, funny story

i will never listen to it again perhaps but i actually like that prodigy song tbh, the objective terribleness somehow only enhances its gleeful mania. kind of reminds me of when the fall started doing dance stuff like why are people grudgeful

I'd say it sounds like the Revolting Cocks but that might imply it had merit.

xp it reminded me a bit of that MES & D.O.S.E. track a bit, the Fall go big beat was really a sound the world had been waiting for

Reminds me of 'DARE' by Gorillaz. Indie frontman + electronica combo might be one of my least favourite genres. Never sounds quite right, and yeah like Matt DC says, more often than not it's the worst of both worlds.

Plug Myself In was great fuiud

hell no I'm not going to listen back to see if 19 years of hindsight might have changed that view

by the sound of it there was little to no collaboration per se on the 'Ibiza' track, Jason just sent them some lyrics and they put it over a standard neo-Prodigy beat

it's certainly nothing special but I'd kind of rather Jason offhandedly did stuff like this rather than wave it away because the Prodigy aren't the coolest thing on the block anymore

Never sounds quite right

i think that's what i liked about it - it sounded demented

and hell no I'm not going to listen back to see if 9 hours of hindsight might have changed that view

At this point the Prodigy really are starting to sound like Jeremy's 'Outrageous' bedroom track from Peep Show.

ha

Their next collab is with Leftfield - a pattern begins to emerge. http://www.nme.com/news/leftfield/83915

Chemical Bros collab coming soon

This is a bit embarrassing.

Ha ha. "No, mum, I'm not coming in for my DIINNNAHH... Eat it your FUCKING SELF"

And did those feet
In ancient times
FEEL IT

This is a bit embarrassing.

― Matt DC,

agreed.
bills have to be paid.
suspect that they are beginning to learn that being outside the loop means you can do/say whatever the fuck you like, whereas now with signatures provided on various forms, life is no longer that simple.
expect lyrics re being fucked over by the music industry in 2 years.

i really enjoy them
they feel to me like something that's not going to last, or at least in a vital way, for a super long time
but that's ok too, not everything needs to
i mean jeez i could count some of the greatest punk bands of all time that never had more than a handful of singles and maybe an album

Jase and Andy.
Your job is now done.
You were absolutely vital and I thank you for that shot in the arm.

Seen Seaford Mods as much as I saw Husker Du. They are now at the 'Warehouse...' phase. Fearny no longer required

Yes, I am an old bastard like SM. Where's the yoooof? They must be so contented with their Xbox , FB and zzzzzzzz
Is music dead?

this isn't intended as a criticism but you always sound drunk when you post

Saw them in Hebden Bridge two nights ago. Sixth time I've seen them, but the first time outside Nottingham. Hands-down the best show I've ever seen them do. Never seen Jason so absorbed, intense and fierce.

Thanks Mencap.

I'm actually a straight edge vegan. Since last night.
I was a touch hungover (possibly still drunk, so well spotted) and my post was rather poor . I wish I could retract it.

Sleaford Mods are vital.

a review which is original on two different levels

Saw them in Hebden Bridge two nights ago

Dont know anything about this band but last year I lived 3 minutes walk from the Trades Club (which is where I presume this was)

It was, of course, the venerable Trades Club - talk about "core constituency".

The support act, a performance poet, drew a furious heckle: "STOP USING CUNT AS A DEROGATORY TERM". The first song on the SM set list? Oh, I see you're ahead of me.

that sounds like Hebden, did you stay over, there?

Yes, at Croft Mill, which was A+. Found the music store slash cafe the following morning, spent a happy half hour there.

amazing show tonight in Manchester. they've got this new one (possibly Bronx In A Six) which has a mentally loud (and fantastic) bass that was giving me major MBV flashbacks.

Surprised nobody is talking about the new one, which has some minor departures (more surreal lyrics in some places; some vocals that are very nearly sung). It's really great

I reviewed it a few weeks ago, and I think it's their best yet: a consolidation and a progression. The Tarantula Deadly Cargo/Rupert Trousers/Giddy On The Ciggies sequence towards the end of Side 2 is particularly killer.

liked no one's bothered, interesting too see how long they can last w/the formula

andy partridge endorsement sold me on these guys. v prime-era Fall

Suspended from UK Labour, apparently..

They can kick you out of their party?
