... forget any more albums and track down the Peel sessions (the may still be available for free on the website). The cover of Song to the Siren that segues into Vatican Broadside has to be heard to be believed.
I have an eMusic subscription and 40 tracks left for the month. I've now got "This Leaden Pall" and I'm down to 25. "Four Lads..." isn't on there for some reason.
Cheers for the offer by the way, Chopstick, but my flat's so full of CDs I think I'll stick with downloads for a change!
So the albums you're now missing are Back Again in the DHSS/ACD, McIntyre Treadmore And Davitt, Some Call It Godcore, Four Lads Who Shook the Wirral and Cammell Laird Social Club. If you want to do a try before you buy with two tracks from each, I'd suggest:
Reasons To Be Miserable Part 10
Dickie Davies Eyes
Let's Not
Everything's AOR
Friday Night and the Gates Are Low
Tour Jacket With Detachable Sleeves
Turn A Blind Eye*
A Country Practice*
When The Evening Sun Goes Down
Tyrolean Knockabout
(* On Four Lads..., which is a shame if it's not there as I reckon it's in their top three)
This Leaden Pall, or surely Back AGAIN in the DHSS
Why isn't Nigel thingy the Poet Laureate?
Four Lads Who Shook The Wirral
but prepare for all the other albums to be variously nominated.
Actually, that's a point
Does anyone have Some Call It Godcore as their favourite HMHB album?
Easy
get all of them.
There is no such thing as a bad HMHB album
get 'Cammell Laird Social Club'
its great, and has the following on it:
When The Evening Sun Goes Down
Thems The Vagaries
If I Had Posession Over Pancake Day
The Referees Alphabet
Cammell Laird Social Club
because it's all kinds of awesome.
As is usually the answer with these things...
... forget any more albums and track down the Peel sessions (the may still be available for free on the website). The cover of Song to the Siren that segues into Vatican Broadside has to be heard to be believed.
You really should just get them all
And don't forget the Eno Collaboration EP.
Get Kramer is the greatest ode to getting Wayne Kramer to produce your band ever written.
Agree with prole-art threat
You HAVE to have Back Again In The DHSS it's got some of my all time favourite HMHB songs on.
Also I've a copy of "MacIntyre, Treadmore and Davitt" you could have for £2.00!
Thanks

25 tracks has become 4
as the new Beck and Hold Steady records are on there.
I get next month's downloads in 3 or 4 days I think.

Don't worry
I will be picking it up when I get my next lot of downloads in the next few days...
Back In The DHSS Again
It opens with 'The Best Things In Life' which is possibly their best four minutes ever.
definitely This Leaden Pall
hit upon hit.
