charlatans

The Charlatans will attempt to breathe life into their fan base by releasing new album You Cross My Path on the 3rd of March as a free download from radio station Xfm’s official website.

The band will issue the virtual thing gratis until the physical product arrives on the 19th of May, bolstered by a recently-inked worldwide distribution deal with Cooking Vinyl.

Here’s the tracklisting to the act’s tenth album:

Oh! Vanity’
‘Bad Days’
‘Mis-takes’
‘The Misbegotten’
‘A Day For Letting Go’
‘You Cross My Path’
‘Missing Beats (Of A Generation)’
‘My Name Is Despair’
‘Bird / Reprise’
‘This Is The End’

A single will precede its mother record on the 25th of February; ‘Oh! Vanity’ is its name.

Why?

Why are they still here?

Cos Alan McGee sez so!

On a related note, I saw in the NME a write up about Carl Barat and him wanting to "do a Radiohead" by McGee not letting him... I seriously don't know why I care about this, but I wanna know why its "the new business model!!!" for one, and a bad idea for another... apart from the fact he has no idea what he's on about and what day of the week it is.

this story

is putting me in a coma... why are people still insomniacs when the charlatans are still around?

You know they'll recieve the NME godlike genius award at some point soon...

I distinctly recall sitting on the bus to Winchester

way back when I was a student (in the very loosest sense) at Peter Symonds College.

A girl on the bus started nattering away about The Charlatans and I recall the consensus being that they should have given up some years previously.

That was in September 1996.

The Charlatans

Say what you want about them but they made 4 great albums in a row between 1995 & 2001.

What??

Simpatico is a class album. Saw the at Delamere Forest live last year. They were shit hot.

And this is why...

smoking crack is bad.

Agreed

I'm on KillingMoon's side here.

Cheers.

hmmmm...

i think their last good album was The Charlatans (1995) - saw them live in 2002 and Tim's ego could hadly fit in the room - never seemed to be about that before... LA don't suit him.

so i still ask my question WHY the fuck are they still here?

Still like them

The single's good and the album's going to be free. What's not to like?
