5. Pretty Fucked Up - Size Zero Mix

6. Desperate But Not Serious (Originally by Adam Ant)

The Fur Coat, No Knickers Mix was done in the spirit of 'proper' 12" mixes, where all the different parts of the original track are broken down, exposed, solo'd and generally extended for all to hear/see. Nothing Special has been re-recorded and updated a bit - this came about because we started playing it live again, changing the arrangement somewhat, which seemed to work really well so we thought it would be a good idea to release it. The Melodramatic Version of the previous single GBH is quite different to the other versions you may have heard. This time it's been completely re-arranged and re-recorded as an Erik Satie/Kurt Weil/Jaques Brel style 'torch song', which is closer to how I initially wrote the song in the first place when I did the original demo.

Pretty Fucked Up - Size Zero Mix is a more DJ friendly extended version of the first track from the current album Damaged Goods, and is fast becoming a live favourite. The last of the tracks on the single is a very 70's electro-disco cover version of the Adam Ant song Desperate But Not Serious. I'm a huge fan of Adam Ant and love the electronic disco throb of artists like Giorgio Moroder, Kraftwerk, Sylvester, Boney M and so on - so it seemed quite natural to me to put the two together! It came about because in 2003 (I think?) we were asked by Madam Stan from the Ant Liberation Front, the official Adam Ant Fanclub, to perform at the annual Adam Ant convention held here in London - the 'condition' being that we also played a cover of an Ant song for the occasion. She suggested 'Desperate' and, as it happened, I'd previously toyed with doing a cover of this song before, so it seemed the perfect choice. I'd forgotten about it until early this year when I came across a live recording of it, and decided it would be good to finish off what I'd started 5 years ago - and now, here it is, finally recorded and released for you to listen and dance along to whilst you're doing the dishes/hoovering/dusting/ironing/etc.

A video for Careful Careless was shot in and around Hamburg earlier this year - it's being edited and put together right now, so watch this space for more news about that when it's all finally spruced up and ready for you to look at!

Anyway, that's about enough blether from me. I hope you like the new tracks, and on behalf of Steve and myself, we wish you a very Merry Christmas and an extremely happy New Year!

Io Saturnalia! Onwards!!
