Wildhearts Ultra-trivia

[WiredOut]

Heh, well this one's gone down like a lead whore on a burning yacht.. Just goes to show, you can rarely predict what people might engage with, nor enjoy. Thank fuck I'll never have to try to write a record for you inscrutable motherfuckers. Only kidding. Really. Just thought it might be a bit of fun, but hey.

For the record, Wildheartians, the Wombles ref is on Mindslide, the didgeredoo on Do Anything. 27 secs, 2.34. Check it out. NME writer was Mark Beaumont. He's the Ed now I think. Any coverage possibility there?

[kriscoverdale]

they were all too hard for me to be honest Off to listen to Mindslide again now tho...

[Ean]

You didn't give people enough time - A good chunk of us log in on work time, so won't have been here since Thursday, and probably won't be back until Tuesday.

Obviously I knew them all, but didn't want to spoil it for everyone else.

Honest *cough*

Mind you, I'm always hearing stuff I'd never picked out before - it's only fairly recently that I noticed that it's not whistling at the start of Nita Nitro.

It's not? What is it? A weird guitar sound?

Anyway, good point you made there. Guess I was just impatient for my wee idea to take off, sorry.

Ok, new QUESTION, bit easier, which Wildhearts release supposedly features a song with a 'Garden Path Mix'?

[Ean]

Yep. It sounds as if it's something like pinch harmonics up the top end of the neck somewhere, or maybe a harmony effect cranked up a few octaves.

Sorry, not been online much this weekend. I would have got the Mark Beaumont question, because I remember the 8/10 review being so good I had it pinned to my wall, then the EN review was so dismissive. I met him just after that and berated him over it. I'd just reviewed EN for the Student Paper and made it album of the week. I think I also asked him where Simon Price had got to because he's a much better writer.

Ok, trivia question (well I'm hoping it is because I can't currently remember the answer):
On which track did Ginger say that when they recorded it he wanted his guitar to sound like a squid?

No idea about the squid one but good to have some questions trickling in.

I seem to remember that EN review kind of praised the band's talent and songs like Pissjoy and Thunderfuck. But let's face it, he probably still rated it more highly than many WH fans. I do like EN myself, btw. Anyway, what did he say about it?

And QUESTION alert! Which WH track has percussive elements credited to The House of The Wildhearts? This is from memory but I'm fairly sure about it.

No, not quite Girl a Gun from what I recall, though I'm still trying to find my copy of the thing in question to make sure.

I would also have said Lovebank to this too.
