Is a lack of emotion a curse or a skill to rely on?

Posted on 17:18, June 4th, 2010 by Steven Morgan

Guess the origin of the lyrics (artist and song please, bonus point if you can guess my favourite item of clothing whilst listening to each of them):

“You’ve never been to Alton Towers, Michael Caine doesn’t follow you and you’ve never been to Spain”.

“You and I have to get out of Stephan’s way”.

“My dealer drives a three wheeler, lives in a house by the side of the sea”.

“I guess I sort of lied when I said it’s not that bad. That fly, that helicopter, that red and white van”.

“I want to be colonically irrigated, so I know how it feels not to be full of sh*t”.

WHATEVER STEVE, GET ON WITH IT.

Big Chill

We’re playing at The Big Chill House on June 17th. It’s gonna be incredible, we’re on last so a longer set than usual which will be nice, though tiring. I’ve never been to the Big Chill festival, but is it just me who’s all like “Big Chill? Why the hell would I go to a festival to chill? What am I, some sort of c-?”. So yeah, we’ll be bringing our lounge-core to the Kings Cross area and hopefully I’ll have the surgery to shoot lasers out of my knuckles complete by then too. It’s got free entry, so come along you dummy! For your health.

Bear At The Bus Stop

New song from us which you can hear here. It’s short, it’s instrumental and it embraces triplets much like this sentence. Feedback so far has ranged from “I like that it’s instrumental” to “Is it finished or ongoing?”. With feedback like that, how can you resist?

Video

We made a video to educate you again. No need to thank us, we’re martyrs and will just moan about you not thanking us behind your backs. TYPICAL. Watch it here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i5tJi0XGOdY

Twitterview

Never Enough Notes asked us questions, we gave them answers. That’s how interviews work yeah? Difference here is that it was through Twitter. It’s like the future today. 386 baby, 386. Here it is.

Remixes

As part of the upcoming Neon Blink release on Blue Dove Records, there’ve been a load of Neon Blink remixes and there are more to come. Take a listen to some because they’re great. Don’t take a listen to them if you eat your own farts. You don’t eat your own farts, do you? Oh man, if people knew you ate your own farts, you wouldn’t get invited to that thing you’re really excited about going to. Think about it. Just listen.

Still to come, Fresh:Mesh, Novelty Music Scene and perhaps even something from James Furness (fingers crossed). Plus as a bonus, a remix of Creation #4.00 by RhythmJunky to look forward to. Also there’s a remix of the Delphic song Halcyon which Luke created and can be heard here. Summer in your ears.
