CLASSIC OR DUDLEY : POP WILL EAT ITSELF

I just remembered they covered Shriekback's "Everything That Rises (Must Converge)" a year after it came out!

the A-side was a cover done a year after the original too

stupid dumb-dumb gone plumb insane

apt description of Graham's decision, after spending five years driving the other ex-Poppies one by one away from his new band, to instead get a bunch of non-Poppies in and call it Pop Will Eat Itself

my older brother had 'this is the day' on tape and i listened the shit out of it. i made sure to check out all the namechecks on "can u dig it?" also. i guess people mock them for being a bit daft but they were ahead of their time! sounded like the future to me in 1990. i dont know much of their stuff outside that album though.

my fave track

Also The Looks and the Lifestyle but that one was eh-OK at best, a few songs aside.

a) you are incorrect
b) look at all those demos! including unreleased songs! and the chance for ppl who didn't buy a rare picture disc or a $20 import CD single in 1992 to get tracks like Part Man Part Machine and the On-U Sound remix of Bulletproof

I, um, don't know what else to say

did pop eat itself yet?

Wasted part 1 has some Lydon/PILesque thing going on. maybe. Good album but imho lacks energy and conviction of their og stuff.

There’s only one OG member involved on that album, tho

yup.
however, graham was given the all clear from clint to use the name as he was the heart and soul of PWEI.
also, pretty sure that Fuzz has helped out the new crew from time to time.

Fuzz, Adam and Rich have each done some live work here and there, and everyone-but-Clint did the UK 30th anniversary of This Is The Day tour last year (while a different lineup did non-This shows in the US). I was just saying "lacks energy and conviction of their og stuff" is fairly moot when 4/5 of "them" didn't do the og stuff (indeed, this album is the OG stuff by that specific band).

indeed.
i just love the fact that the other vocalist these days is mary byker.
you could not get a better extra to back up graham on vocals for PWEI.

ah yeah didn't know that, fair enough.

Thoughts on Anti-Nasty League, I'm kinda enjoying it so far (7 songs in)
