New Flesh - 6Music

[vanrad]

Just listened to it on the 'Roundtable' Listen Again. Quick Tip - open it up and hit the 15 mins button until you land on 45 mins.... it's a stone throw from there.

I actually think they gave the Wildhearts a OK review but slated 'The New Flesh' loads.

But hey, ho! Not everyone can have taste like us.

[Ean]

If they played it, hopefully the people listening to it made their own mind up.

Um, yeah they did...

I believe the phrase: "This should never be played on the radio!" was one of the broadcastable comments.

mine cuts out after 2hrs 10 mins - anyone got a working link?

Yep.

Direct Roundtable Link

If you don't want to listen to the whole Roundtable, like Vanrad said, you need to fast forward about 40 mins (which'll put you just before the 6.30 news) or 45 mins (which'll put you in the middle of the song somewhere, if you don't mind missing a bit).

Might regret listening by the sound of it though.....bastards

Yeah, the Roundtable bit has its own page, so they've split the show in two on the player.

Now I can actually hear it...This Charlie bloke seem to struggle at speaking when starting sentences..or at least on two occasions he starts and his first few words are just deep slurs...or am I the only one thinking this...

No, but as you're not a whale, you lack the sufficient hearing to pick up the subsonic depths where he normally communicates.

Ah, well. It's far from the most immediate nor original-sounding of new songs in their catalogue anyway. It's even been singled out on these boards as pretty much a Billy Joel knock-off.

As I've said before, I think that the mix of sounds on WH tracks means that it's often only the most thrillingly structured (riff/melody wise) of their tracks that really make an impact on the general public consciousness.

Perhaps if they had released 'Bi-Polar Baby' or an edited 'Slaughtered Authors' as a first single it may have moistened a few more earholes. IMO, they're often not the most adept at really hearing which tracks might be best-equipped to readily pierce that thar 'public consciousness'. Whatever that is.

Anyway, everything happens somewhere. In multiple alternate universes we're currently knocking our cocks off to the Wildies ninth headlining Wembley date whilst the boiler-suit-clad members of the Red Hot Chili Peppers reverently ask us to step aside so that they might mop up our pools of filthy black rock cock slick. With their elbows. Or something.

i think you're all being a tad hard on mr charlie simpson he has for years now been at the forefront of new cutting edge music and has never been scared to explore new avenues and horizons unlike that ginger fella who may have wrote a couple of half decent songs (if you can actually call them that) in his life time. so just criticise your own hero before slagging off somebody elses and respect his valid and important opinions.

Charlie from Busted... that's the stupid looking fella with the blonde hair and massive black / brown / some dark colour eyebrows. Who sang a song about a teacher at his school with 2 other tosser rejects, or was it 3? He then splits up from Busted, makes some other shite sounding band with a shite name, calls it music, then slags off one of the greatest British songwriters!?

He's 22 years old for christ sake, he plays in a shite band and he makes shite music...
From Wikipedia...

He has been the focus of mixed opinions from the media and fans alike, ranging from heavy criticism to high praise and respect. A lot of his support has come from the UK's biggest selling weekly rock magazine Kerrang!, in which the editor Paul Brannigan wrote "'Grand Unification' is one of the best british rock albums of the last decade". Fightstar were also nominated two years running at the Kerrang! awards for 'Best British Newcomer' and 'Best British Band'.

Can someone tell me why his band's album is quoted as "one of the best British rock albums of the last decade". Do Kerrap! actually just write this stuff to make 12 year old kids waste their money on shit music? Or do the people that work for Kerrap! have no taste in music at all?

One more Wikipedia thingy...

Charlie Robert Simpson (born 7 June 1985 in Woodbridge, Suffolk, England), was the youngest member of the highly successful pop group Busted, and is now the vocalist and guitarist in Post Hardcore band Fightstar.

If you want to call it that

Rant almost over.

It's almost 4AM, I'll rant a bit more when I can be bothered.
