Shut up. I've had on average at least two baths a year.

When I say 'heavier', I mean sludgier and more industrial. Stolid and brutal kind of stuff, not thrash happy bursts like Glasgow Mega-Snake.

And obviously, I meant the Queen Elizabeth Hall.

And shut up again. Young Team is the best. Oh to be at Summercase when they play the album in full there...

Sounds like Mr Beast Part II, then - 'Glasgow Mega-Snake' and 'We're No Here' being heavier than pretty much anything they'd done before, but some of the songs coming across as rather flat live (yes, 'Travel Is Dangerous', I'm looking at you). Perhaps I was a bit rash in my comment about Mr Beast - Happy Music is probably still my favourite.

Anyway, 30 times - that must be more times than you've had hot baths, young man...

I saw them at the Royal Elizabeth Hall last night. It was number 30. I am still quite deaf "SORRY, WHAT DID YOU SAY?" You know the venue is perfect for the 'Gwai when you hear the music bend and screech.

To be honest, it was predictably great, but the new stuff, a tad meh. I said to Chris it was a "bit boring" and it was heavier than their other stuff, in an album context. And if it's a bit boring live, how's it gonna sound on record? "Really boring". I doubt it, but I do worry so.
