Okay then if I get all the cats released do I at least get to keep three of the wives? I mean a little something to sweeten the deal.
Provided the women agree and you make sure the cats find homes, I think we have basis for an agreement. The sacks can be sent to Mr. Heston to store super noodles.
I think those sacks can be used to put KISS fans in. Which is kinda ironic as with those musical crimes they belong in a prison making sacks.

You mean today?
Of those 3 only Carter is still theoretically capable.

But I was referring to you and Marky.
My answer remains the same.

Kate Jackson is such a goddamned charismatic singer. Still love the Long Blondes after all these years.

I've rediscovered this in the past couple days and it's glued itself to my consciousness.

Just got around to listening to snippets of this entire album and I bought a digital download copy of it. Love it!
This one is probably my favorite on the album thus far.

With the new FF best-of just out, I've revisited their first album. Jesus Christ, tho, how goddamned good is "Take Me Out"? These strange, martial sections bouncing around, and it all sounds so "constructed." That is, not jammed or grooved, but well thought out, probably heavily argued over. It's something created by people with a deep knowledge of pop music. I wish I had the vocabulary to properly express it, but this just sounds a forceful statement about … something.

edit: Coincidentally, the Guardian just put out a short piece on the song: https://www.theguardian.com/music/2022/ ... ow-we-made

Great pop/rock song. Those hammer-like chords never fail to get me stomping along every time. From memory that is their stand out by a long way, a couple more decent but overall i wanted them to be better. Got distinct Skids vibes, but comparison doesn't do them any favours.

I also really liked "40 ft" off the first album. Had that similar martial beat and air of menace to it. I think that's what resonated with me. They reminded me of Wire in tone, that there's a wry intelligence and almost malevolence at work. The musical approach is different, of course, but it's that dark and icy knowingness that coats it all.

Its definitely worth a revisit. "Air of menace" is a good description of Take Me out, another i recall is Dark of the Matinee, but not in the same class for me. I remember they came along at a time of so-called revival for guitar rock, with Kings of Leon, Bloc Party, Killers etc. I'd say FF were marginally the pick of the bunch.

FF and Bloc Party both got tagged as Gang of Four heirs. I think that made a bit more sense with BP. It was a pretty sweet time for us old fuckers who fetishized post-punk. Like finding a bunch of unreleased records from 1980.
