Been a while since I've posted (as I finally reset my password) however loving the new album!
After a period of some odd re-releases / compilations etc, this is brilliant!! .. "Staircase at the University" and "Neal Cassady" being my standouts so far...
Splendid
Kill Uncle for me was pretty weak.
I like your suggestion of Brian Eno as a potential producer, would suggest Daniel Lanois myself or the return of Steve Lillywhite. Think Eno did wonders with Coldplay...
"I'm Throwing My Arms Around Presents"
"The Drummer-Boy Racer"
"We Hate It When Our Friends Become Sentimental"
"Yule Have to Find Out For Yule-self"
"Now My Sack Is Full"
"It's Not Your Turkey Anymore"
"I'm Ok By My 'Elf"

"I'm Throwing My Arms Around Presents"
"The Drummer-Boy Racer"
"We Hate It When Our Friends Become Sentimental"
"Yule Have to Find Out For Yule-self"
"Now My Sack Is Full" ... ? (Or is that one a different game ?)
I just heard this news this morning - unbelievable!!
Don't blame Morrissey for walking off and cancelling the rest of the show. Naturally, I feel sorry for the audience having their night cut short, all because of one mindless idiot.
I hope the crowd gave whoever it was a severe kicking...
The iTunes download version has "The Slum Mums" and "Human Being" as bonus tracks. A special edition download of the album is also available with the 'Live from Warsaw' tracks as well as the 20 b-sides.
From what my ears tell me, all 18 tracks are in their original format - mix and length.
"The Slum Mums" is in a slightly different mix - notably the intro and has almost a minute of unneccessary silence added to the end, but "Human Being" is the original version
I can appreciate the disappointment, especially just one song in - I would be too, but for fans to jump in feet first and hurl direct insults at him is dispicable, whatever the reason.
Perhaps a little off topic, but for those of you who prefer the download approach - 7digital.com has Swords, std 18-track version, available for a limited period for £5.
Didn't think this deserved a brand new thread as such, but was in my local Tesco's last night, and guess what they had in their bargain CD section for £3..?
Yep, a pile of brand new copies of 'Refusal'. Ok, so many of us will have it already, and paid £8 or so for it (yours truly from...
"Southpaw Grammar" for me all the way. Just a personal favourite.
Still cannot fathom the omission of 'Papa Jack' and 'Roy's Keen' from Maladjusted...? But do like the inclusion of ALL the b-sides..
Not daft on the cover myself, but hey-ho...
The woodland theme reminds me a little of the Killers b-side compilation 'Sawdust' (which was done much better)
I think the order plays quite well, glad its purely b-sides and not a mish-mash with album tracks (ie 'World Of' or 'Burglary Years')
I would've loved to have seen one or two unreleased tracks or versions, but overall quite a generous compilation for the non-bside owner. I'll certainly be...
Was thinking the same thing, especially for a guy who has always said "you'll never see me at the brit awards, or rubbish like that.."
Mind you, he was very recently on daytime tv on "the one show" talking about unemployment etc... He's soo goin to do Losse Women at some point!
