I WAS HOLDING A SMALL BABY IN MY ARMS LAST NIGHT
IT WAS FRAGILE AND BEAUTIFUL AND LOOKED JUST LIKE ME
EXCEPT LESS MUSCLEY
MORE PERFECT
PURE
AHHHHHHHH TO BE PURE AGAIN LIKE YOU CHILDREN

CHILDREN
I CANT TELL U THIS RELIEF THAT TREMBLES THROUGH ME
THAT THE ALBUM IS RECORDED AND NOW::: NOW NOW NOW
WE HAVE TOM MCFALL WHO WORKS WITH THESE BANDS LIKE REM AND U2 MIXING IT:
IVE NEVER HEARD OF THEM BUT APPARANTLY THEYVE SOLD A FEW RECORDS
AT LEAST SOMEONE IS
I KNOW YOU HAVE BEEN WAITING
WE HAVE TOO
TRUST ME ITS NOT EASY WHEN YOU HAVE TO DO IT ALL YOURSELF AND YOU GET DISTRACTED BY MONEY AND DRUGS AND GIRLS
CHAMPAGNE ENEMAS
VITAL EXPERIMENTS INJECTING COLLAGEN IMPLANTS INTO YOUNG BABOONS
GOING TO THE CINEMA
AND
ITS EASY TO GET DISTRACTED
TO GET
WHAT HAVE YOU BEEN UP TO?
HOW MANY TIMES DO YOU GET ASKED THAT ON AN EVENING?
IN THE TIME WE HAVE BEEN RECORDING THIS ALBUM 345 BANDS IN LONDON ALONE FEATURED IN MAGAZINES SUCH AS NME AND DAZED AND CONFUSED HAVE GIVEN UP AND GONE TO WORK FOR THE GOVERNMENT
THE STUDENT LOANS RAN OUT OR THE CLOTHES STARTED TO LOOK FUNNY
ITS OK DONT WORRY
NEW ONES WILL COME ALONG
HEY
WE HAVE BACKING VOCALS ON THE ALBUM BY SHON B OF YO MAJESTY ON 'TOO MUCH' AND ANITA THE COCKNBULL KID ON 'DADDY'
VERY NICE GIRLS TOO

MY NEW PERSONAL FAVOURITE IS DAVIDS BRAINNNNNNNNN
WHICH HAS BACKING VOCALS BY JAN
IT HAD REFERENCES TO MJ ON IT AND THEN HE WENT AND DIED LIKE THAT
THEY STILL HAVE NOT RETURNED HIS BRAIN FUNNY ENOUGH
ITS SITTING IN A JAR
THEY ARE DISSECTING IT FOR GENIUS
TO SEE HOW MUSIC FILTERS THROUGH THE VARIOUS PASSAGEWAYS
THE FLUIDS'
THE SALT WATER
THE JESUS JUICE
THEY MAY PUT IT IN BLANKETS HEAD
I CRIED WHEN HE DIED AS YOU CRIED
I GOT ARRESTED FOR SCRATCHING HIS NAME IN THE WALL
OLD BILL CAME OUT OF NOWHERE
WHAT U GOT THERE? SAID THE OFFICER
SOME KEYS
HE TOOK THE KEYS FROM ME
HOW OLD ARE YOU MATE?
TOO OLD FOR THIS
WHATS THIS?

THE KING IS DEAD

YOURE AN IDIOT ARNT YOU
YES
HE LET ME OFF BECAUSE I SHOWED SUFFICIENT REMOURSE
DONT BE AFRAID TO SHOW REMOURSE WHEN STOPPED BY OLD BILL CHILDREN
DONT BE AFRAID TO SAY
IM SORRY
IM SURE YOU HAVE BETTER THINGS TO BE DOING TONIGHT I SAID
HE REPLIED
YEAH
WE GOT BETTER THINGS TO BE DOING TONIGHT MATE
LIKE AS IF I NEVER SUGGESTED IT

ANYWAY NEXT THURS WE ARE PLAYING AT HOXTON BAR AND GRILL
THE 16th
WITH AMAZING BABY
CHECK THEIR MYSPACE

THEY ARE FROM BROOKLYN
ITS THE ONLY PLACE IN NEW YORK WHERE PEOPLE SAY HEY IM FROM NEW YORK BUT IN REALITY THEY ARE REALLY FROM ST LOUIS OR SOMETHING
I DONT KNOW WHERE AMAZING BABY DERIVE FROM BUT THEY SOUND A BIT LIKE LED ZEPPELIN SOMETIMES

THEY ARE VERY POPULAR IN THE USA RIGHT now AND WILL MOST LIKELY BE THE NEW MGMT
OR SOMETHING LIKE THAT

I LOOK FORWARD TO WELCOMING TO OUR FAIR ISLE
IT IS PRECIOUS AND GREEN

BE GOOD TIL THEN

IF YOU ARE AROUND TONITE
FRIDAY 10TH
THE ART WORK FOR THE LAST SINGLE SNAKES AND FORTHCOMING ARTWORK FOR THE ALBUM THAT I PUT TOGETHER WITH A COMPUTER IS BEING PROJECTED INSIDE THE ICA OF ALL PLACES
COME ALONG FOR DRINKS AND THAT
YOUR FIRST EVER EXHIBITION IN THE ICA MATE?
YOU CAN ONLY GO DOWNHILL FROM HERE
I TELL YOU

COME DOWN

AND GOD BLESS YOU CHILDREN


I NEVER EVER STOP THINKING ABOUT you
YOU ARE BABY BIRDS
I AM CHEWING WORMS AND FEEDING THEM INTO YOUR BEAK

YOU KNOW THAT

Hey rat fans

i trust you are feeling good in the sunshine
spring is like almost summer now

you will be very happy to know that we have completed all the recording bar a guitar solo on an unheard track TOO MUCH

RELIEFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF

OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

its not been easy
going your own route is hard but im very proud of what we have achieved together

to produce something out of thin air with no backing can be a nightmare at times
to eke out your inspiration when there is no money
no light at the end of the tunnel somedays
computers going down
friends dying
the weather killing you
but when you get through it the rewards are immense

adam and jan built the studio with their own hands in a freezing FREEZING ice cold warehouse in tottenham in december and january
without their energy this record simply could not be made
george has also spent sleepless nights fiddling with a trinity keyboard and made sure that this record is not just 12 or 13 songs but a piece of work that flows with a begginning a middle and an end
you will get what i mean

we pretty much started recording in arctic conditions
now we are in t shirts
we have perservered and its done
we just need to mix it now
we will put it in good hands

dead kids have not played so much this year but some of the gigs we have done have been awesome

we flew to madrid and lisbon last week for our first ever shows out there
we totally smashed it
i knew the spanish would get the passion and the gusto of a dead kids show
its one of those places where the crowd knows that what they give they get back
they were screaming their hearts out
it was hot and the night out afterwards with the locals being driven around leaning on bars hanging in squares and drinking til the sun came up was a night to remember
a great gig
you dont need sleep after a night like that

the next morning we flew drunk to lisbon which is a slightly more reserved city but once that crowd got warmed up there was no stopping them
another first night for us with kids singing the words in the front row
its an awesome feeling to know that you can connect so easily with people so far away

if you join our facebook page YOUARE DEADKIDS you can see some photos and links to reviews from our time out there

we will be returning out there in october for a proper tour

watch out for our show with AMAZING BABY next month at hoxton bar and grill
i have a feeling they are going to be pretty massive
they will have to vie with us on the night though

be good children

WE ARE MORE THAN HALF WAY THROUGH THE ALBUM
ADAM WORKED HARD OVER THIS DIFFICULT WINTER TO BUILD A STUDIO IN A WAREHOUSE IN TOTTENHAM
JAN ALSO GOT SPLINTERS AND COLD FEET

SETTING THAT UP AND OUR OWN LABEL SPARROWS TEAR MAKES US SUPER SELF SUFFICIENT

GEORGE MCFALL OUR LONG TIME COLLABORATOR HAS BEEN WORKING WITH US
HES PLAYING ON THE ALBUM AND IS EVEN GOING TO BE PLAYING WITH US LIVE AGAIN FOR A BIT

THE ALBUM HAS SONGS THAT YOU KNOW AND
SONGS YOU DONT KNOW BUT
THAT YOU WILL GET TO KNOW
ITS COMING TOGETHER WHICH IS ALWAYS A NICE FEELING

ONE WORKING TITLE WE HAVE IS:

TURN OFF THE MACHINE (DAVID'S BRAIN IS DEAD)
