Current mood:  impervious
wrote this ages ago for the website but it never made it there - think my e-mail to pete is not going through properly.. anyway it's here now in case anybody cares at all...

(new e.p on the way some time soon by the way with all the other songs on it)

-t.h



what are friends for
 
1. beatings - playing this song is like swimming thirteen lengths underwater on honeyslides. the best time was in hamburg in front of three disappointed scorpions fans from berlin. that was the same night chris spewed red wax and i ate direct for the first time. this version is LIVE in a CUPBOARD
 
2. late repeat - the record label rarely agrees with us. that's not what this song's about though
 
3. wrong on purpose - syd barrett and the guy from candysniper. and maybe david lynch. while we're on the subject of david lynch, can anyone explain what the fuck mullholland drive is about? i've heard some theories but they all seem to say more about the (ir)relevant critic than the actual film
 
4. pacifically - this song was for a while called "the post" (as in the morning post which is mostly a drag) and then "andrew's legs" (after andrew's legs which are detachable). adam has nothing to do in this song for two or three minutes, hence we haven't played it live since the smoking ban
 
5. snakes - the first time we played this was in paris. they fed us SALMON. i bet most people who ever fucked us off never got fed free salmon in paris
 
6. broken bell - i read a lot of outdated fiction when i was a kid. i still have dreams about a lot of that stuff
   you used to be able to take a train from sidley to crowhurst. you used to be able to take a train from brighton through hailsham to tunbridge wells. the country is full of disused tracks and bricked up tunnels. in a few more years time these things won't even exist in any living person's imagination
 
7. threes - as i have explained one time, three is the worst card to be holding (depending which rules you're playing. if for example it's brighton rules, three is a total badboy. but you shouldn't play brighton rules)
 
8. backwards - i kind of had a bit of a thing for nicola six until i spent some time with her. turns out she's almost as sexy and twice as dangerous as i thought (but only about half as smart)
 
 
 
impossible without:
 
hammy, lol and andrew at purple
luke joyce, james stringfellow and louis louis at brighton electric (we did pay this time)
andrew clare
jon wood
john the van
everyone at fatcat
pete luff
picore
vincent at murailles
eric tigre
Owen

 
yo tom....

since you asked, and i've watched the fucker several times, here's my best guess at m.h. drive...

after the title sequence, the first two thirds of the film (until they open the blue box) is a dream from which the dreamer (the blonde girl) wakes up, and you, as the viewer, realise that she is a 'success' only in her dream, and not in 'reality'. However, since the film itself opens and closes with extremely 'dream like' sequences, this does not explain everything. My last best guess is that the film seems to be about the 'problem(?)' of working out whether, from the perspective of a 'storyteller', you are 'telling a story' or you are 'stuck inside' the story.....fucking freaky, huh?

there's no such thing as "brighton rules"... there's the correct rules (as often played in brighton and the rest of the world) and then the wrong rules (i.e. as played in tunbridge wells). that's just the way it is and i shan't hear another word on it.

Brighton rules were always safer than Hastings rules that is all I know on the subject.

And vans/cars to all over the shop are always good to drive until Ash starts debating on whether The Beach Boys were the greatest band in the world.

N.B They're not/were not
Go Bear Go were *chuckles with wit
