Wildhearts Ultra-trivia

[SpikyDave]

What common household &/or garden substances/equipment/processes were allegedly used to recreate the sound of vomit hitting the floor, for use on the song Caffeine Bomb?

Incidentally, on listening I'm not sure said sample actually made the final cut but still...

[Jason_scorching_past]

Which Wildhearts song was the first not credited as solely written by Ginger?

wasn't that if life is like a lovebank, which i think was credited to all 4 of 'em?

and i thought house of the wildhearts was on give the girl a gun?

but i am happy to be entirely wrong on both of those!

Lovebank is correct yup but it's credited to Ginger, Danny, Ritch and Palmer(?).

[Nickinvincible]

ok i have one.

what, according to an interview they did, persuaded mark keds to join the wildhearts?

[Ean]

It was a coin toss, wasn't it?

Incidentally, anyone have any idea who the Palmer credited above is?

[Nickinvincible]

Um...that's not what i was thinking of in the interview i was thinking of.

I always assumed it was one of CJ's names...but then looking at Wikipedia it's not....I guess on this point I didn't have an enquiring mind....

Was it the endless millions and worldwide adulation?

Actually, I vaguely remember it was something like a coin toss, like Ean said, or did he pull a 'significant' card from a deck or something? Hm.

Edit: Ace of spades/hearts?

[Ean]

I promise I didn't look this up beforehand, but the History seems to agree:

17 May 1995 Kerrang! publish a news item in which Mark Keds explains his reasons for joining The Wildhearts: he flipped a coin.

I remember buying the single in 1996 and thinking before I'd heard it that they'd maybe ripped off a Robert Palmer track and had to credit it or something. Like Stevie Wonder being credited in Step Out by Oasis. This passing theory probably has nowt to do with reality though.

Really? Any Robert Palmer aficionados on here care to name the song?

Oasis' Whatever is credited to Neil Innes too.

This was just pure unfounded speculation on my part, mind. Could just be some other bloke called Palmer.

While we're at it, who was the bag-head man in the Lovebank video then? I thought I'd heard it was Jef Streatfield but I just realised that doesn't make sense. Wasn't it too early for Mark Keds too?

Or is this PALMER?

[Ean]

By all accounts (i.e. Darren again) it was Jeff Hateley from Wolfsbane.

Wet concrete mix being thrown at the wall / floor if memory serves....

[Nickinvincible]

i was thinking of the interview in Raw where Mark said that he pulled a card from a deck and it was the Ace of Spades, which made the decision for him.

But Ean, I bow to your knowledge - both stories sound fishy to me...maybe that's why he didn't stick around, eh.

I remember something along those lines and that he had been reading "The Dice Man" by Luke Rhinehart (about a guy who makes all his decisions by rolling a dice) and it inspired him to do a similar thing.

The Palmer name, for some reason, brings up Farmer Palmer not sure why but I'm sure I've heard/read it somewhere before in interviews with the band, I swear i'm not making it up.
