I keep meaning to pick up the Pictish Trail record, that's a Kid Creosote side thingy int it? The singles off that have a nice vibe. Particularly loved 'Winter Home Disco'.
Sad that The Earlies seem to have called it a day, but they have two stonking albums and a few great singles to their name, and won't have the misfortune of producing some second rate bullshit to piss us all off.
To paraphrase Steve Albini on the demise of Big Black, "Breaking Up is an idea that occurs to too few to many bands, and usually the wrong ones"
At a slight tangent, I gotta say, I thought the new Phantom Band album was a bit patchy, has it's moments, but... Maybe it'll grow on me?
