The Wildhearts

The main reason I am so consumed by the Wildhearts is that they DON'T sound like a heavy metal band. Maybe this IS Wildhearts reborn....we're all gonna end up listening to "house music"

I doubt it'll be that drastic dear boy, I quite like the odd bit of drum looping and sampling in rock music as long as it doesnt end up being overdone, I'm wondering if any of the tracks might be remeniscant of Trapped Water by the Crazy Gods of Endless Noise. now that people was a track and half.

I believe they are taking the piss and that is a good sign

You just never can tell

Jeez.....I must have been completey whammo'd last night. I dont remember starting this thread

I like the sound of things going a bit more experimental. The last two proper WH albums were decent but to me feel a little 'by the book' compared to the unpredictable curveballing of albums like Earth Vs, PHUQ, Endless Nameless, VDC and Market Harbour. When I listen to EN, I think there's actually an interesting electronic aspect to it in terms of the use of looping and sampling. And it was the last WH album that felt truly creatively alive to me.

I agree with Wired Out. Every album after Endless Nameless have been good just not experimental or a bold statement. Ginger's albums have all made some bold statements but have allowed the creative juices to flow differently. Now imagine a Wildhearts album where they're not afraid to change a bit.... wow! I don't think it'll be a huge departure though as they've mentioned fitting all the riffs into a shorter focused songs. Gonna be good!

BY the sounds of it if all things go pear shaped for Cj he could cut it as a chef, while they've mainly been meat or fish based dishes he's done I reckon it would be a great incentive for the street team when the new album and inevitable tour dates come out, the person who does the most promoting online and in person a three course meal for him/her and their partner cooked by Monsieur Jaghdar.
We'll see him on Heston Blumenthals tellybox programme next.

i want a t shirt with i'm a piscatorial assassin on it!!!!

Day5 blog says a lot about the current headspace. And about the recent Wildhearts albums and possibly the reason Ginge seems to get so pissed off with the lack of recognition...

Being cult underdogs is fun when your loyalty is to Carlsberg Super, amphetamine sulphate and bong hits, as well as 'da cause', naturally, but when you're away from your family making an album in another Country you get a sense that this is important. Way more important than keeping it real and sticking out yet another album of pop punk thrash to satisfy deadline pressures.

And blows into an asshat any idea that "Keeping it real" is the be-all and end-all of any band's raison d'etre. In fact I might go and post this off elsewhere to a band's website with slightly more fickle fans who see the slightest deviation from template as being a betrayal of them...

i'm loving these blogs

i'm also wanting some creamy salmon & potato soup

Yeah this is all making me very hungry! Hungry for the new songs and also the salmon soup.
Maybe they could put one of CJ's recipes in the sleeve notes?

From personal; experience I can say:-

CJ . If you get back to Finland sometime speak to a local and get someone to take you netting fish on one of the lakes (i recommend my mate Markus) then let them show you how to roast a whole fish on a board of wood, eaten with potatoes and dill with local homebrew beer and a sauna later it is one of the best ways I know to spend a long warm summer night in scandinavia (well almost).

Ginger wishes he was the drummer in The Wildhearts? I wish I was the drummer in The Wildhearts .......... or the singer ........ or the guitarist ...... or the bassist .... hell I would even settle for roadie/bus driver.

Ramblings?

Not true, oh wise one. Ramble (and tweet) on!
