Blimey - I kind of missed it. That hasn't happened before. That reflects worse on me than on Glastonbury!

They sound like early Simple Minds.

They're a strange one.
The first album was kinda like garage rock being played by a band who were living up to their name as The Horrors. The second was Krautrock. And the new stuff sounds, as you say, like early Simple Minds.
Add to that one of them doing a side project that sounded like The Normal or something and you've got a confused band! ; )

Has other stuff on this w/e so didn't have the chance to check out much. Saw Moz on Fri evening who i thought was great apart from This Charming Man which had all the subtlety of a herd of rampaging elephants. Satellite of Love cover was ace. Watched a bit of Bonzo & crew but gave up when the spaceman came on.
Delighted to see Omar Souleyman get some prime time coverage yesterday.
Highlight though was today on the radio on Maconie's slot. At least some acknowledgement of 1971 and a great interview with Edwyn Collins. Gruff Rhys also interviewed a bit later by Cerys. Some decent live tracks - Pulp, Wobble, and an outfit called Foster the People (?) who were new to me but sounded great.

In retrospect I probably should have lamped the fucker - bad vibes stem from the Scream...
yeah... it does sound like it! Both those albums you mentioned are great too. Have they still got Kevin Shields playing for them? I heard they drafted in a new guitarist. Anyway i don't have any politics involving them except really loving those songs

What songs have they dropped then???
Saw them at Olympia last year and Brixton in March and they didn't drop any songs. They've re-jigged the track listing live to end on the euphoria of HTTS, Loaded and Come Together rather than the slower come down tracks on the actual album. I'm all for it. Much rather go home on the high that is Come Together than the comedown of Shine Like Stars.
No Shields on board this time round. The guitarist from Little Barrie replaced Robert Young who left around Riot City Blues (prob because he knew how naff that album and the follow up would be).
