Here is a band which just dont do bad songs.
Is it still your favourite gig ever,Tim?
Well I've only seen Interpol, the Manics, Re:Order, Section 25, Kevin Hewick, Crispy Ambulance, The Names, The Buzzcocks, Alternative TV, Johnny Moped, Chelsea and The Fall since then, as I've had a few other things to contend with lately, so yes I would say it was.

- Headlines Look Like Diamonds
But I love all "Haiti"'s live versions!

Stuck the first nine of these (10th one ain't on either album I've got) in order on a playlist last night to listen to on the way home, try see what the fuss is all about.
Still don't really get them, I'm afraid. Think it's the lad's vocal that puts me off first and foremost.
Do like "No Cars Go", and the "Power Out" one was alright.

No, Touched by the HOG.
Vincenzo was banging on about one track having a TBTHOG bassline at Summercase - I presume that's the one?
Decided to start doing solo acoustic gigs again, just me and a 12-string, so have been practising a few Arcade Fire tunes to add to the set. Expect the likes of Windowsill and Intervention, maybe Antichrist TV etc. Apart from these, the set will contain a couple of New Order, various Beatles, Lemonheads, Oasis, REM, Husker Du, Smiths, Velvets, Radiohead, Manics etc.

- Tunnels
- Rebellion (Lies)
- Wake Up
- Une année sans lumière
- No Cars Go (Neon Bible version)
Not that I don't like Neon Bible, but those top 3 songs are clearly stuck in my head... #4 is my "coup de coeur", probably because it's half in french... and the later one is just pure fun live.
Power Out is a real homage to New Order - with the drums from Temptation, the sequenced bass riff from Touched By The Hand Of God, and the rhythm of State Of The Nation!
My top 5 (and they are probably my favourite band these days)

Are you MIMX in disguise? I think you are, becasue you would have to be on that level to say something so fucking stupid.

Why is that so fucking stupid, Liam?
Me and Dave have already said in this thread we think it sounds like (a) TBTHOG and (b) Temptation.

I would say unnerved is probably a better word Liam.
