Heartland

New album review wot I wrote, with fine tuning by the delightful Gripper.

nice one Jo -and the delightful Gripper.

weird, but it would never have occurred to me that CLINT (the most hilarious name written in capitals...from a distance) and the boys might still be going. i saw them live in every incarnation from "sniffin' with yoo-hoo" to "cicciolina" and then .....nothing (we'll gloss over him going out with some lass on my girlfriend's art course at leicester poly and the subsequent intimidation he may -or may not, made us laugh anyway- have suffered at our hands).
i will now scour the internet for somewhere other than the pirate bay whereby i might listen to said long-player (prior to purchase/non-purchase dependent on whether or not i like it, natch).

as the (possibly bootleg) poster i once owned said: "sample it - loop it - fuck it and eat it".

Well, the lineup's changed a lot, but that happened in 2011. Clint isn't there now.
It's all going strong, and they clearly still have the drive and conviction.

Clint is doing very well with his soundtracks nowadays.

The trouble is, they're not really The Poppies anymore are they?

Nobody is anybody anymore though, are they? Unless you're into U2 or Coldplay in which case....

I see your point. But Graham Crabb doesn't maketh The Poppies. Not for me anyway. I was at the magical Reformation gigs. It ended there for me.

At least I get to admire a row of PWEI CDs lined up all nice (when ANL finally arrives) and feel a slight moment of youth return (not him from Killing Joke either, you know what I mean).
