This is a pre-tour blog

sam is ill. david is getting ill. im getting better. james will be getting ill tomorrow....as will the people of stockton, the first date of the tour. please dont mistake the word ill for the slang term 'sick' that lurks the streets....it's very different and less fun. the plan is normally for things to be sick, but not ill, not diseased, not coughing up thick brown smegma. i do have a theory though that once we're back in the warm womb of the van all pain and tiredness will vanish and as quickly as it came it will disappear.

second paragraph

erm.....

third paragraph

so, yes, we're back on tour tomorrow and last week we realised/admitted that we've played the same set for the whole of this year so there will be older songs and b sides thrown into the mix but no new t shirt design....just a different colour of the pedal design. i also need to spend this tour trying to learn how to dj for the thing i'm doing in wimbledon just after the tour.

all i need to do is have my final non-sandwich based meal and pack my bag.

see yerrrr

reviewing the reviewers...

hello friends,

sam here from nine black alps, your favourite tribute band. today we've achieved brand new levels of success. apparently the NME gave our album 'locked out from the inside' a fairly charitable 3 out of 10 points/stars/whatever they use to sort out their mental faculties.

i've yet to read the aforementioned article as i'm unable to go near the magazine as it's not fit to wipe my cat's arse with but apparently it said something along the lines of 'as we're giving it away for free it must be worthless' and the rest i can probably guess being along the lines of 'sub-nirvana, unimaginative blah blah blah' which is fair enough, i've never claimed our music was original or even good, it's just what we do and i wouldn't expect anyone to like it. never mind a bunch of public schooled gobshites who spend their time discussing the finer points of florence and the machine...

i think it's actually made me realise that we must be doing something right. it must mean somebody really doesn't like us there or takes offence to us which is good news as from what i can gather when the magazine isn't writing their fifteenth obituary of some poor sod dead rock casualty like richey from the manic street preachers or announcing that it's the forty seventh anniversary of some godforsaken joy division album they seem to be stuck in some hellish braindead spasmodic mid eighties mindfreeze where horrendous insipid shite like the smiths are heralded as iconic and wankerish synth pop made by dickheads with top shop credit cards are given ample room to blurt high and mighty tributes to angular gobshites from the home counties talking about their art and poetry and pushing things forward and the new music revolution and 'have you checked my blog?', 'read my twitter'....

save us from these fuckwits please. they are vultures sent from IPC parading revolution as a fashion statement, wearing their scars of adolescent torment as some kind of shield against original thought and basically circle-jerking in their london bedsits in an orgy of self-congratulatory, mastabatory, feeble-minded, unoriginal, pseudo-intellectual, trend-spotting, cool-hunting twattishness.

as david bazan warned reviewers, 'just pretend you don't make your living from selling advertising'. i've heard the NME's weekly sales are still slumping to something like 20,000 copies a week and when it finally goes under i will laugh long and hard and see all my friendly reviewers down the job centre first thing on monday morning.

thanks guys and girls, you really made my day

Album Pre-orders dispatched

We have lift-off. All our album pre-orders have been packed, flyered, licked, stamped and dispatched. Some raised eyebrows in the Newton Street post office as we turned up with boxes and boxes of jiffy bags, and looks of incredulity as we asked for some post office sacks to go and get the rest.

And then I get home and there's more orders waiting in my email inbox - jeepers. Stop buying albums already! Oh wait... No.... Buy more albums! I'm sure there's some critical mass whereby we stop taking them to the post office ourselves and someone offers us a multi-million pound distribution deal instead. So Buy Everything!

Actually the pre-ordering will still be available until sunday I guess, then when the album is 'officially' out we'll switch to normal sales. So go now if you want it cheeeep. Go go.

Oh yeah, and we forgot to blog about the MUTV filming on tuesday - we played Vampire and Salt Water and did an interview and it'll be on telly. Dunno when, but it will.

Anyway, here's martin:
