Happy new year!

NEWS NEWS NEWS NEWS NEWS NEWS NEWS NEWS news

That’s totally like me shouting the word “News” in a cave. Nick Cave. Ouch.

Luminescence

The EP is in the big bad world, so you can stop reading all about how it’s almost finished. Ha! It’s available from more places than I even know, I keep finding new ones. Some of those include Amazon, iTunes, Indiestore, Amie Street and a bunch of others like Napster and Myspace Music and Rhapsody too. If that’s not enough for you then I HATE YOU. If it is then we can still be friends. Those who like their music physically can buy the CD too. It’s well class and has a bunch of thank yous in the liner notes to the people who’ve helped us along the way. If your name is on that list, you can OFFISHULLEE ask for a hug next time you see one of us and not only receive it, but it can last as long as YOU want it to. Amazing. You have to instigate the end of the hug otherwise, we’ll just live our lives like conjoined twins. Sexy conjoined twins. How niche!

Totally Enormous Gig On Saturday @ 93 Feet East

We are so collectively excited about Saturdays gig supporting Totally Enormous Extinct Dinosaurs that we smear ourselves with baby oil hourly in order to distract us from the impending joy. Smooth. It’s gonna be so good, that we thought we’d get some quotes from famous people because you bloodsuckers love celebrities, dunnewe?

Graham Gooch: “Awes”.

Charlie Brooker: “Wick”.

Flavaadit Gambatron: “You don’t even know who I am”.

Get your tickets for cheaperer here at wegottickets.com else you run the risk of not getting in and looking like a total fool. No hug for you. We advise males to turn up topless and buy one of our t-shirts when they arrive so they can look better than their friends. We would advise this to both genders but we made a mistake and didn’t get any female t-shirts printed. Our bad. We will soon though, yeah?

People writing things about us

I could rewrite all the nice things we’ve had written about us lately here, but I’m not a man that believes in effort duplication. Also, my love has got no money, he’s got his strong beliefs. It’s all on our website at http://www.neonhighwire.com alongside incredible insights into popular culture from everyone but Jim. Not that Jim’s taking some sort of rebellious stance against posting anything up there, it’s just Jim. Jim Jim Jim. Jimmer. Jim.

Jim’s top ten albums of the decade

Posted on 22:02, December 30th, 2009 by Jim Dippie

I realised that basically you could do two types of list – one with those albums you worshiped most at the time and couldn’t stop playing, and one with those that you still love today and prove to have shaped how you think and feel about music. As I guess no-one including me is interested in what I thought five years ago, this list is what I think is greatest after all has been and gone in the last decade…..therefore no Hundred Reasons….!

1. Queens of the Stone Age – Rated R

2. Subtle – For Hero: For Fool

3. Meet Me in St. Louis – Variations on Swing

4. Radiohead – Hail to the Thief

5. Shadow Dancer – Golden Traxe

6. Mogwai – Happy Songs for Happy People

7. 65daysofstatic – The Fall of Math

8. Soulwax – Any Minute Now

9. Digitalism – Idealism

10. Death From Above 1979 – You’re A Woman, I’m A Machine

Reserve List – Sonic Youth / Tool / Boys Noize
