Half Man Half Biscuit: Achtung Bono

What a great choice ... my favourite CD since Trouble Over Bridgwater.

ROTF, I knew you'd like the news

I checked out the songs on the website before proceeding('Shropshire lad' I've already played often). It's going to be a challenge to understand the words, being a bloody foreigner and all that. Wish they'd been written out. Not used to listening to lyrics, really.

Nigel Blackwell doesn't publish his lyrics as he thinks it is better for listeners to work them out for themselves. I wish he would change his mind too.

My favourite verse from Achtung Bono is from Upon Westminster Bridge

"'Christ that sun's hot!' Yes, that's right, sir.
Oh help me, Mrs Medlicott I don't know what to do!
I've only got three bullets and there's four of Motley Crue..."

I'll have to check out this group called Half Man Half Biscuit!

He has a point of course. The work of filling in the gaps creates its own involvement. I had a brief exchange along that line with Fredrik Fiske about possible value of lofi representation/music that is absent in hifi representation (he disagreed completely, I'm not sure yet..).

Amongst the downloadables there was a surprising "Dead men don't need season's tickets". Surprising because of the sudden realisation that he was being serious.

Which brings to mind:

'I'm off to see the Bootleg Beatles
As the bootleg Mark Chapman'

one of my favourite HMHB lyrics (out of many contenders):

'Opinionated weather forecasters telling me it's going to be a miserable day. Miserable to who? I quite like a bit of drizzle, so stick to the facts'.

Dead Men Don't Need Season Tickets is one of my favourite songs on the excellent Voyage To The Bottom Of The Road. Nigel is an ardent Tranmere Rovers supporter and once famously missed the chance to appear on The Tube (a music programme on TV) because Tranmere were playing at home and he thought he might miss the match.

Have you got these HMHB flash movies?

Nipped into HMV in Kingston today. Picked up all 3 Syd Barrett albums on CD, along with a Chess doublle gatefold of the best of Bo Diddley, and Delaney and Bonnie and Frinds "Together". They had a lot of stuff at very reduced prices.

Both as a result of what I have read in the Music Room.

"try!" John Mayer Trio

Hi Chris,

I've ordered that having had Room for Squares and enjoyed it, have you got it in the machine yet?

Steve.

Keb Mo - The Door

Superb. Thanks to Bob's (Goldstar) recommendation of another album.

Steve.

Even as I write this Steve. A really good album. Last track just finishing. Excellent player.

FYI - John Mayer Trio is releasing a studio album in September - title "Continuum". A song titled "Waiting" is getting heavy air play here in PDX.

Jeff A

Thanks Jeff. I'll definitely look out for that.

The other half of the story is probably that he doesn't care about appearing on television

I checked the flash movies. I wonder if they add anything to the content actually. But the content is nice.. I can think of a few ways the referee could use the word 'pleat' but which one to choose?

Rather friendly slagging of Blair's New Labour too.
