Product Information

Nigel said when we bumped into him before the gig “you won’t guess the walk-on tonight.” I think he was fairly sure nobody would. Although i wish I’d seen if it would have taken me 20 yes/no questions to guess. Does anyone else think the overall sound, especially the guitars, is far more reminiscent of Editor’s Recommendation (specifically Bob Wilson and Lilac Urine) than it is of the last two albums? An essentially pointless observation, but one which is of interest to those of us who are bothered about these things. Your mileage may etc etc. Never been much of a fan of “RSVP” myself, so there you go. I did think the album version was much better than the session, though. They’ve given it a proper folky arrangement, which sounded fantastic. Urban Dictionary has it defined as “to arrive without any prior planning, or specific materials”. Perhaps the implication is that young Chris from Future Doom should spend less time scribbling his angst onto a sheet of paper, and instead use his practice session to get acquainted with that wonderful musical tradition, having a jam?

The junior clerk should be able to sort things out before Lard further increases demand this evening! Looking forward to driving my wife even more bonkers than she already is. Apparently HMHB ‘don’t play proper music’. She’d much rather listen to Shane Richie. I don’t mind irking the purists, but that’s several steps too far. Perhaps the gloomy figures should be encouraged to participate in triumphant bowls tournaments or to jump off the roof of Dignitas en masse with a Silver Cup (as won by Arthur Brownlow for said bowls triumph) awarded for the most creative pavement outline? At least then they wouldn’t have to worry about becoming the victim of a hit and run. Video of The Hitchers performing “Urge To Kill” unfortunately missing the first ten seconds due to fat fingers (not literally) Jon…yes in Wellington (well Lower Hutt)…and I have occasionally played HMHB to Kiwis whilst in the car, usually resulting in bemusement (although all things are relative…low level bemusement compared to when I subject them to Cardiacs)

The joys of working part-time… got two lyrics transcribed by lunchtime. And only had to Google once, too, to confirm my suspicions that “Loggerheads” and “Hope” in “we made our way from Loggerheads to Hope” should be capped-up, as they’re both towns in Wales. After a while, you start to spot the patterns, don’t you? anyway, early impressions : definitely more consistently good than Ambleside. RSVP disappointing compared to the session version (but that was probably inevitable, and it’s no trouble to swap them over on my iTunes library); Coroner’s Footnote is unexpectedly good and Stiperstones actually had me fearing for Nigel’s sanity, becoming more and more deranged as the song progresses. Fix It So She Dreams Of Me is probably the only actual disappointment. I suspect that Fun Day In The Park may be based on a true story, rather more so than the Leeuwarden explanation. Fifth listen this morning and it really is a very strong album. Somewhat surprised to find myself thinking Rita is the weak point ….. Lovely set tonight. Best gig since our first one in Llangollen. Nice to chat to everyone in the pub after, hopefully see you all at a gig next year!

There was a hearty “Cheers for coming out… and on a Wednesday too” from Nigel. In the encore, there was an interesting development, with Karl taking the lead vocal on Swords Of A Thousand Men. In all these years, that’s the first time I can remember anyone apart from Nigel doing that. With tongue firmly in cheek, we could have called it a ‘concept album’ if it wasn’t (as Nigel would self-deprecatingly have it) the same concept as the entire career: moaning. By the way, the Quietus article, in which Neil Crossley is described as “midfield general” is quite impressive, if anyone hasn’t yet read). Lastly I am sure you all know the main road to Crimond is the A90, which means the album could be referred to as A90B(C) if we wanted. Trivia point: the T3 doesn’t follow the expected route between Corwen and Bala, i.e., the A5 and the A494, but goes along the B4402 through Cynwyd, Llandrillo and Llandderfel before joining the B4391 at Cae Crydd. The reason for that is that the bus route replaced the railway service between Ruabon Junction and Barmouth Junction – now called Morfa Mawddach – which closed at the end of 1964, and the replacement bus service ( q.v.) was required to serve the same villages as the railway had).Chris is a Shropshire Lad,he grew up in Loppington so he has probably had to steer clear of Duff-leg Bryn in the past. DS, that is quite awesome. (OK, I’ll come out. I am also a typographic and graphics nerd. There. I’ve said it.)

And apropos of my comment above, “Gok Wan Acolytes” is another phrase that had some live outings a year or two ago. CD just arrived in the post – and on the day I have to ‘work at home’ because the trains are buggered! Joy in Leeuwarden indeed. I would love to get it from Probe, providing they can guarantee it arrives before I fly away on 22nd, I’m not leaving the country without it! As today happens to be my birthday, I decided to give myself an extra present to unwrap. First belly laugh before the CD even made it into the tray – anyone else think that F1 photo should be on the front cover rather than buried inside? This is gonna be good… There were also a couple of notes on there. Andy was taking lead vocals on everything except for Linedancefinalsmassacre, where Niall had the honours. And there was a point about their show taking twenty-nine minutes. That seemed a bit precise, but maybe they were under pressure from the promoter.I’ll try not to spoil your fun Neil, though I’m pretty sure others will post their own particular refinements on John’s info about the dialect term. But if nobody gets it spot-on within a few weeks (including full etymology and differences in use between L’pool and Wirral), I might then, reluctantly you understand, have to step in. The gig did not qualify for the Local Events section in the Denbighshire Free Press either, although there was a feature about an event in Prestatyn on the weekend of 22 and 23 July. Apparently, it is fifty years since Holiday On The Buses was shot there. Surviving cast members will be there, but no names were given. It would be nice to hear how that goes.
