That box:
The replacement arrived (a while back), and I recorded it onto CD, but I still can't make out any 'doll-squeak' noises.
Still, I'd forgotten how great all of it is. (Except Final Solution, which is just dumb apart from the music, really)
I played it to the kids, they .. mmmm, listened...

So.... is it worth me catching these guys in February?
― dog latin, Friday, 22 January 2010 17:05 (fourteen years ago) link
Yeah, you should go. I've seen them twice in the last six years, both shows were great, but I'm a pretty big fan.

final solution is one of the greatest songs of the 20th century.

I hated the Ubu Roi play they did a while back, but the audio of it is f'ing great. Seeing them next week (songs from the play and The Modern Dance) and v much looking forward to it, as they've been extremely enjoyable whenever I've seen them.
Will report back.

Yeah I'm a huge fan of the "Long Live" album but I've heard the live version is a bit lacking. Maybe they've honed it a bit? Here's hoping.

Shame there wasn't much love for Chinese Radiation, it's just so sad and the crowd noises are just so unexpected.
If Thomas was telling the truth, those audience sounds were recorded at a legitimate Grand Funk concert.

God now all I want to hear is Chinese Radiation.

They played Final Solution last night!
This was an amazing gig - just the songs from the excellent audio of Bring Me the Head of Ubu Roi, and Modern Dance. David Thomas on fine form.
Makes up for the dreadful play of Ubu Roi I saw them do a year or so ago.

Took the girls to/from Swimming, was playing "The Modern Dance" album..
Alice: Is is supposed to have that noise?
By the time we came back, Chinese Radiation was just starting, and Amber decided it sounded like The Killers' "All these things that I've done". Then David Thomas started singing, and they both decided it sounded a lot like it.
Just the start-off, mind.

The applause in "Chinese Radiation" just gets to me every time I hear it
(or rather, David Thomas' unhinged yelping as he's swept away in the round of applause)

I've been singing "Laughing" all day every day for the past 2.5 weeks but I still think I'd prob vote for CR

So, unless someone has the original single, I believe they well may be the same version anyway.
I do now.
It is a different noise. "Twiww" as opposed to "Dink"
