Just got the new Goldie Lookin' Chain single now, they've got copies in Rhythm Records and Camden, I know people have had trouble tracking down the vinyl too. Will I be able to retire on it?
Sounds like the tracks have been re-recorded a bit, is that to clear some dodgy samples? The clean version on the CD is RUBBISH, just a bit of bleeping, was hoping they'd have done something funny or clever with it. Anyway, see the site of the guy who made the very high-tech costumes for the video at www.theotherchoice.co.uk/art.htm and if you've not got a CD yet, you order one from Amazon...
Have a good time if you're seeing the band at Portsmouth Wedgewood Rooms tonight...

Monster snow and music event at Xscape Indoor Snow Arena, Milton Keynes. Lesley Mckenna and friends have built a big half pipe and will be demoing and competing in snowboardy type things. But that's not all, Zane Lowe is hosting the music side of it, and he LOVES Goldie Lookin'Chain... There will be a festival sized stage with all the required lights and action, placed upon the snow at the bottom of the 1/2 pipe. Top bands will play snow-sets throughout the day plus Zane himself will DJ inbetween the bands. The line-up to date includes Goldie Lookin' Chain, Million Dead, Kill Kenada, Atmosphere, The Holiday Plan, Vinyl Dialect and Jetplane Landing.
Not sure you can get tickets via popex, but you can here: www.hadenoughofpop.com/popatpop/ and you can win them too...

Goldie Lookin' Chain (do keep up, they're my new favourite band) release the double-safe double-a side "Half Man, Half Machine" / "Self Suicide" on Monday 19th April. "Half Man, Half Machine" is like a riposte to MJ Hibbett's "Hey Hey 16k", but Eggsie doesn't just want to reminisce about old computers and consoles, he wants to do the sex with them. "Self Suicide" is a tasteless tale of improvement through self death. Neither track is at the more subtle end of the GLC spectrum, but they're both funny, and rude, and with not too many Newport references, so they're good choices for an intro.
If you're a proper fan, you'll have the CD's already, but seeing as they've never been available in shops and that, you will have to make do with being the first to buy this single... it's available as a super super limited six track 12'' (2000 copies only) and a CD. Get it now and retire on your Ebay profits in a years time. It's released on www.mustdestroymusic.com, who you'll remember also brought you The Darkness. No, it's not my label, but I wish it was.
