Heartland

Went to see them in Glasgow Barrowlands on the Mind Bomb tour, appropriately shedfaced on mushrooms. Went with a girl (yes, went out with a girl) but was totally oblivious to her expectations. Much more focussed on the gig and the fact that the Sisters-proportions dry ice looked solid.

Interesting how prescient (or just simply observant and clued-up) Matt Johnson was on SBOT and throughout Mind Bomb about the...Islam situation, for wont of a better way of putting it.

I want to like The The, but I just can't. I dug out Mind Bomb because of this thread and gave it another listen. Excellent production, but I just don't think the songs are that great. I should like it, but it just bores me. Not even the album of Hank Williams covers works for me.

Ain't happenin'.

There is something though, about Matt Johnson, that makes me think of Tony Blair.

Facially they're very similar. Also, although I've never heard Blair sing (except when in the presence of an American president), I can imagine that he would sound a bit like Matt.

Ideologically, though....
