Burning Up Time - The Stranglers and Hugh Cornwell Unofficial Forums

In all fairness, I'm sure most City fans would be happy enough to take Paul Sturrock from you next season. Our manager is a tosspot. Bug-eyes, fake-tan, can't wear a suit, talks in clihes....everything is wrong. Swindon will be in the championship by 2010, it's just the way it goes, supporters gener...

I have a promo copy of that. It's OK, but if you want MES with some electronica go for The Unutterable by The Fall - this stuff just isn't very interesting - in fact, a lot of it sounds like that Flat Eric Levi's advert stuff (seriously). Still better than the last Fall LP, but that's not too diffic...

I had to learn bass a day before a gig we played (I was a stand-in) - I'd tried guitar and was shite at it, so bass guitar just looked like a meaner, more aggro variation to me. Piece of piss though in the end. Playing the bass and getting away with it is like having a shit. You don't need lessons, ...

Shame you think that. To be honest, it's a nonsense compilation - there is no 'definitive' Fall compilation, and given the line-up changes, there can't be. I could do a similar Strangs compilation and pick 30 naff songs by the MIB - to me, that's what '50,000 Fall Fans' is like. The equivalent of a ...

You being serious, Old Yeller?

It's fucking awful.

One game to go and it seems to be a dead cert that Leeds will be playing Blackpool in League One next season. How shit is that ! Just making a point because one of my brothers and a very close friend are both Leeds fans and they can hardly fucking talk these days. How shit is that ! And the friend ...

Been put back until next year. I wouldn't expect much from that, either.

"I had to sack Craig, ' cos, uh, I wanneh bring me wife in, yunno..."

Hey, even the last Stranglers album was crap. It's happening to 'em all, Jim...

They weren't too bad in Leeds, MES gave me the mic for 'Systematic Abuse', which was a good laugh. You're right about the beardy yanks. Sounds like an East Coast band jamming in a garage with a pissed tramp ranting over the top. Mark doesn't seem able to write lyrics anymore, either. He's about to r...

The Fall are fucked.

Heads Roll was crap, this latest offering is crapper, IMHO. MES should've stuck with The Unutterable line-up.

Did you go to the recent gig in Leeds, Jim?

My missus might be dragged along to this one as well.

Our great comrade Psycho should be appointed England manager NOW! He would have had no problem getting the boys motivated for thrashing League Two oppo like Northern Ireland. Give Stuart Pearce the job now... Pearce is too green, in my view. How's about... Give the rest of the qualifiers to Bobby R...

That's a fucking embarrassment. Sven has lost the dressing room, by the looks of it. He should've gone long ago. I wouldn't be surprised (or disappointed) if he quit after this. We've a perfectly good English manager waiting to replace him if he does in Peter Taylor. Slightly off topic, but how much...
