Not half as original as going on and on and on and on about a secondhand, context-free comment that may have been perceived be racist while uncritically and unapologetically singing the praises of one of the UK's most racist musicians!
Way to go, Mr Hypocrite!
Wait, is this the guy you linked to a page or 2 back making an embarrassing incoherent unfunny awards speech?
no... none of them said a word! the guy speaking wasn't in the band.Wait, is this the guy you linked to a page or 2 back making an embarrassing incoherent unfunny awards speech?
I think we should all bid the fat white family farewell as they depart for the New World to seek their fortune!
what a nice interview this is. http://drownedinsound.com/in_depth/...-family?utm_source=dlvr.it&utm_medium=twitter
^that is the people i recognise from real life. most other articles about them sound like someone is trying to write either a sociology thesis or a gossip column, damn a lot of music journalism is bad

This is very different from their live act, a load of swagger here:

I think that video is excellent. It probably cost no more than loose change to film (it's shot in the Queen's head) and it's got a lot of people talking.
yeh that video is a step up!
butchersapron what do you mean? did you not understand my sentence? i just meant, there is a lot of very bad music journalism out there (in fact it would make a good thread!).... whereas that piece i posted i thought was excellent; the writer was not showy, not self obsessed, not looking for "click bait" headlines etc... do you agree?

So many particulars. So many questions.
that song about leather manages to be quite dirty without using any rude words, which is quite good

He sounds fairly normal in that interview. Think maybe I prefer him on a soapbox, mind...
Two things: firstly, I'm surprised nobody ordered a massage, I would have but was deliberating over which one of them I coud trust not to rifle through my pockets and secondly, Flame Proof Moth is shit. I've not heard him play a proper set but I've heard his busking which was dreadful and he stopped just short of repellent with the amount of ogling and sexist 'compliments' he was dishing out to the women.

So the racists are consorting with sexists....

that is AWESOME too, thanks.... I'd only ever heard the original 1950s version.... whose that by do you know? and yeh that video must have had influence
On Youtube under the vid it says original by Leon Payne, also covered by Elvis Costello.

thanks for that - checked out some more Beast of Bourbon off the back of it - good stuff - never heard of them before

Singe Gainsbourg
yeh Leon Payne - blind songwriter beloved of George Jones also wrote 'Lost Highway' and a number of other tunes you'd probably know.
Jack Kittel recorded the best known early version of 'Psycho' - there's a good myth that Payne didn't want it released before his death,
but it came out about a year before he died unexpectedly of a heartattack.
Andre Williams did a good version a few years ago too
... and so on

Oh god, what a well traveled path.
yes, not for me tho... i actually am going to kill myself on stage like GG always said he would but never managed. i just dunno how to do it in an entertaining way, suggestions?

By keeping a particular thread running in an entirely cynical way?
No sure you know what path i mean either.

no i don't to be honest. i thought you meant the path of the band going from small to bigger then playing sxsw, nme etc, then getting major labels involved? yes there's lots of alternatives i agree, if that's what you mean. i like a lot of bands that do it the alternative way and never aim to "get big"
as for me posting this video on this thread.... well it was just cos i saw this video and liked it, and this thread seemed the most appropriate place for it. also means i can find it easily later
ps i was genuinely asking for suggestions

Fuck that's shit. I guess you had to be there.
I'm fairly certain I was playing better than that when I was 15. Are these guys seriously getting a major record deal?
