It's hardly plastered all over the main forum, Steve.

Stands to reason if Pottsy wrote half of the Monaco stuff (which he rightly did) some Monaco fans might be interested in hearing his solo output. No 'big deal' so far as I can see

Fucking hell, cheer up Steve

And what's this Monaco b-side with Mrs Merton on it?!

Bicycle Thief on the flip of WDYWFM? if im right. Im in a more positive mood today!!

Really? I thought the only Mrs Merton stuff that came out was the Mrs Merton album!

the theme tune was released in its origional form as underneath the stars on the american version of MFP

You mean the "Weirdo" cover? :wink:

Seriously, that is the only Monaco track that seems completely taken off a New Order track.

Fortunately it's Hooky, otherwise lawyers would be all over the place :lol:

The US iTunes store doesn't have the Pottsy album, it's in the UK shop, but to buy it requires one to have a credit card with a mailing address in the UK. The 7digital downloads are only .wma (windows media player) files. Has anyone in the states purchased the album and/or downloaded it? Just wondering where to find it online. Any info is much appreciated.

Ah, the very reason why legal downloads wind me up!

(i.e. you can buy a CD from overseas, but you can't purchase a download file from overseas) :crazy:

Fantastic album, a keeper. Well done. Keep up with the good work.

Been listening to it on rotation these last two weeks sat on a beach in Greece, and it is the best album I've heard this year. Roll Up, Faces and Kite are three top songs, and Pottsy deserves far more recognition.

totally agree!

Awright? Sorry if this's been posted before but the Pottsy-Hooksy collaboration 'Roll Up! is coming out as part of a single this August. Just read about it on-line.

Roll up! Roll Up! The new David Potts eBay store is now open!

You can buy the album 'Coming Up For Air' for a limited period for just £5 and get ANY single absolutely FREE !

'I'm the Greatest' in White Vinyl? The classic RAM EP 'Songs On Page One'? It's completely up to you ... and you'll save up to £2.

And don't forget that the new Double A-Side Digital Single 'Monkey in the Rain/Roll Up!' is released in August.

23 Jul 2007, 06:57

There'll be a NewOrderOnline special about this coming out in the next week or two. I'll say nothing more ;)

:nono: shmally. i remembers.

Honestly, I'm quite disapponted. Not because the album is not good, but I was expecting a little synth and/or electronic sound/genre. I wasn't expecting it to be Indie Rock/Alternative Rock. Anyway, the album is ok. Not very good, but not bad neither.

Indeed!

Bought the album at the Oxjam gig and have been playing it constantly. Gotta say, it's a real grower. Some quality choons on there.....'Faces' being my fave. And none that I'm skipping over either, most albums have at least a couple of tracks that I flick past after a few plays. But this is all killer no filler er, as they say :uhoh:

Shite. You're talking out yer ring. It's the best album I've heard this year still, and I keep finding extra little bits that appeal in songs. Current favourite is "And I", though "Roll Up" and "Faces" are approaching 200 plays on the iTunes.

6 Nov 2007, 12:58

I totally agree. I bought it when it first came out and still play it a lot. The only low point for me is one of your high points 'And I'. Its up there as a contender for my album of the year.

I feel for Pottsy, he's obviously a very talented guy but he just cant seem to break through for some reason.

6 Nov 2007, 13:26

I love the album and the single 'Monkey In The Rain' (still available from Pottsy's Ebay store)

As I said in my review, this has got to be my album of the year. In fact, it would go in my top 10 debut albums of all time. There's not one weak track on it.

And I'm SO glad it isn't full of synth pap - it's good to hear an honest, guitar based album again.

Just to repeat myself - it has one of the best openers of any album - Paul Kehoe's drums on 'Got To Be Someone' are fantastic.

Can't wait for the next album :beer:

Few months ago, I got the "Ram Sampler". The "Rollup" track seems to be "scratched". Is it just me?

20 Jul 2008, 08:40

Listened to this a bunch upon release, but it really didn't stick with me...I was a fan of the RAM stuff...a little more raw.

Thank you. Good sound quality, not the usual mobile phone shit, some people like to upload.

And wow, there's a female Hooky playing in Pottsy's band.

30 Jul 2008, 05:31

My personal thoughts on the songs... Here's the official tracklist to the Japanese release of his album.

“Got to be Someone”---I like this one a lot. 5/5
“I’m the Greatest”---Don't listen to it very much, so I don't know
“Monkey in the Rain”---Good song. 4/5. Bonus Japan release track.
“World isn’t Over”---3/5
“Roll Up!”---4/5 I like Hooky's bass on this one.
“Faces”---I don't know.
“For Your Love”---5/5. I loved this one too. Bonus track on the Japan release.
“Richard Parker”---4/5
“Free Yourself”---4/5
“So Low”---3/5
“And I...”---I don't listen to this song very much.
“My Favourite Onion”---4/5. The lyrics are quirky.
“Warm And Happy Soul”---3/5
“Kite”---5/5 My favourite off the album.
“Dream Away”---I don't listen to this one very much.

I only heard snippets of this album is a CD, but I heard most of the songs done live during the last month in several places and I can tell you that if you have a musical bone from your body then you will love this.
