Luke Haines - Setting The Dogs on the Post Punk Postman
I've a lot of time for Luke Haines, the mostly forgotten and unchampioned Indie journeymen whose records, even when new, go for laughably small amounts of cash. Generally, his recordings are laced with absurdist dark humour and spite, and like Copes' more recent efforts are fairly lo key and put a smile on my face. Saw this one in my local record emporium and thougt I'd give it a punt. Well, I should't have bothered. This one is a phoned in affair from the darkest depths of Meh! town. Avoid.
Couldn't disagree more. The best Haines record since the british wrestlers one.
Full of beautiful melodies. The bonus dl cover tracks were great too, esp. the suburban spooky Castleford Ladies:
1. HURRY UP HARRY
2. CITY HOBGOBLINS
3. THE CASTLEFORD LADIES MAGIC CIRCLE
4. LORD OF THE REEDY RIVER
5. ROCK AND ROLL STATION
