Who Is O.C.D Written For/About?

Postby buddychrist » 5th Feb 08, 01:42

As an O.C.D sufferer myself I was wondering can any of you out there shed any light on the insightful Wildhearts song on the illness.

Or is it just a take on a certain type of personality? Either way...

To borrow from an old Ginger Says...

OCD

Another track from CJ's arsenal. The initials stand for Obsessive Compulsive Distortion, and it sounds like it. A huge riffing mid-section goes off on more tangents than a night on the piss with Random Jon Poole; typical Wildhearts excess in the vein of the longer Fishing For Luckies tracks. "It reminds me of some of the riffs on Sky Babies," says Danny. CJ, when asked to describe the track, remarks:"Fuck, did I turn off the kitchen light? Yes I did, no I didn't, yes, no. Know what I mean?" Any obsessive compulsives out there will relate. That noise that you can also hear is the sound of hundreds of others scratching their collective heads.

Hey firedup, that's original! I can't say I've heard that one before.

Sadly, that's a bit of a stereotype. The versions of OCD you see on the television are greatly over-dramatised by viewer hungry executives.

Thanks Ean for the words from the horses mouth. I looked yonks ago but couldn't find the bugger!

God, is that the time...Must go and bleach my bottle of bleach & scrub the toilet 'till it crumbles.

Keep Smiling

That's an interesting Ginger Says there - unless I read that all wrong, they're writing what would become '...Must Be Destroyed' but they're outlining singles and B-Sides as being the album's tracks, and then right at the bottom, Ginger slams the "MBD" title in favour of 'The Black Box'!

A proper historical document there I reckon!

Yeah I know it was a poor effort. I myself have been known to be a bit OCD. I don't touch anything in public toilets (ooo err), can't sit with my back to any door, often try to avoid cracks in pavements...theres plenty more but most of it is mild most of the time.
