Receiving "Back in the DHSS/Trumpton Riots" CD in the mail, finally replacing my very beat up cassette copy...
Half Man, Half Biscuit are one of the most underappreciated UK bands around, and they've been around for a long time.
'course they can be a bit obscure sometimes for the uninitiated...
Car crime's low, gun crime's lower,
the town hall band CD, it's a grower,
you never hear of folk getting knocked on the bonce,
although there was a drive by shouting once,
but there's a brass band everywhere,
and I don't drive so I don't care,
and as a nightingale sang in Berkeley square,
what is Chatteris if you're not there?
I hate Nerys Hughes!
fuckin' 'ell it's Fred Titmus
Look, stop this, or there is going to be some rioting in Trumpton tonight.
I can only imagine what stray planetologists, jihadis, NSA spooks, bomb Iran headtheballs, drunk Sciblog groupies make of this.
My real goal, is to get two Deans and a NASA Associate to listen to either "Achtung Bono!" or "The Cammell Laird Social Club", in their entirety.
I'm not sure they're ready for "Back in the DHSS".
