apparently it's 'groovy'

he's just done the soundtrack for that Jesse James movie too. He doesn't kick back much, does he?

He said it was because he was turning 50, and he worked out how much time he had left and how many records that would mean and he thought it was just too few. So he's working like a maniac while he still can. While still keeping to strict office hours of course.

Good on him!

 

[bluestreak]

DO WANT.

[Winston Legthigh]

Out on Monday!

Amazon have the ltd edition with book for £12.45 delivered.

Sounds really really good - much more rocky than Lyre but not as mental as the Grinderman stuff.

 

[Pip]

I'm counting the days.

 

[El Jefe]

I've got it

it's ace. Really dirty and noisy, quite experimental in places, lots of organ and lots of weirdness

 

[tommers]

I just heard it on radio 6. Sounded good.

 

[Augie March]

Ordered this yesterday, along with the Gutter Twins. Hopefully get them before Monday.

 

[danny la rouge]

I heard some of it today. I'm going to have to get it, I suppose.

 

[neonwilderness]

Listening too it now and like it so far. We Call Upon The Author is a favourite.

 

[dodgepot]

i've never knowingly heard and nick cave and the bad seeds stuff. but i should really i suppose. but where should i start?

 

[dodgepot]

i've just been told my wife has four CDs of their stuff. i'll start there.

 

[ethel]

i've been listening to the boatman's call a lot recently. it's so beautiful.

 

[Paulie Tandoori]

i can't wait to hear this, the man is a stone cold genius

 

[Silva]

We Call Upon The Author is a favourite.

^Seconded. Graundian calls this his best record, and I feel somewhat inclined to agree.

 

[El Jefe]

I suspect in years to come, he'll be the one we look back on and go, "yeh, I always knew he was going to be a stayer"

 

[Paulie Tandoori]

bet you don't, bet you have an argument about it

 

[sonik]

The whole album is tedious!

If any ones interested he's supposed to be in lurking in Rough Trade on Monday 3rd.

 

[El Jefe]

The whole album is tedious!

Oh behave

 

[The_Reverend_M]

Would the lurking include playing...?

 

[sonik]

Nope he's signed an exclusive deal with HMV and O2 so he's just lurking. However he may not turn up at all and there's no times either!!! All very weird.

 

[The_Reverend_M]

Damn ...

 

[ouchmonkey]

before the hair dye..............

and after

A bit like Johnny Hallyday. But sooner or later he's going to run out of bible, and what then?

 

[The Groke]

A bit like Johnny Hallyday. But sooner or later he's going to run out of bible, and what then?

A conversion to Islam?

 

[El Jefe]

Ah no, he can recycle this forever. Like he said, 'lyrically, I'm still chained to the same bowl of vomit'
