"Horror Clowns Are Dickheads", the first track on official YouTube pre-release from Half Man Half Biscuit's upcoming new album
"We are lost, we are freaks, we are crippled, we are weak
We are the heirs, we are the true heirs, to all the world"

Ah, Half Man Half Biscuit... seen them live twice and they were great.

Who the fookin' hell is Slipknot?   :D
... but at what point does it stop being CPR and start being like trying to reanimate a corpse?

There was a comment on one of the HMHB fan sites recently musing whether the new American Pope would invite Slipknot for a visit, and if so, would they stick to the script defined in "Vatican Broadside"...
"We are lost, we are freaks, we are crippled, we are weak
We are the heirs, we are the true heirs, to all the world"

Skunk Anansie - The Painful Truth, their first one in the best part of a decade.  Really liking it.  Been into them since just before the first album came out and saw them in a tiny venue in Stoke when Skin was practically singing right into my face.  One of the greatest live bands I've ever seen, saw them in Leeds a few weeks back, just magnificent.

Always great when a band you've been listening to for 30 years or so put out a new one and it's a belter!

The Chameleons - Script Of The Bridge. 

I remember the singer Mark Burgess supporting NMA at the London Astoria in a short lived band called Bird, they went down really well.  I'd never heard of the Chameleons at that point but I remember them playing a song with a recurrent lyrics that went 'the stuff that dreams are made of' and got a great response... some years later, as a new member of this fine Forum, I asked if anyone remembered this band and what the tune was and I was told it was 'Second Skin' from the aforementioned album.  It's been a personal favourite since then...   :)

OK, Pulp's new album is my favourite of the year so far... every track a great one, right up there with the Tripla of magnificent albums that was His N Hers / Different Class / This Is Hardcore...  :)

Half Man Half Biscuit's new album "All Asimov and No Fresh Air" - another stormer of an album from Wirral's finest, some fantastic tracks on there and of course, plenty of strangeness in the lyrics, such as a goth ventriloquist's dummy (Falmouth Electrics) or visiting Legoland on acid (Possible Side Effects).

Ah, didn't know it was out yet, I'll be sure to check it out asap!

Might be a couple of days though, I've been growing a mullet so I can go mad with a mallet in Millets...  ;)
