so at long last the single is out. huge thanks to diy for seeing fit to feature our no-hope asses in the neu section of their site. looks like we've still got it. feeling sassy right now. the video took forever to edit, there's something like 1600 stills in the mo-cap sequence (pro terminology, all present and correct and shit, yeah). budget was £1.29, cost of a bottle of diet coke which i took out to parkland walk with me when i shot it. loads of strange looks from people as

technical hitches, whistling amps, fried boards, and still we continue. breaking the back of the drums in the second session. we’re in for two weeks and should have ninety per cent of the album done by the end. tracks so far: let go the line, take care of your own, black freighter, manny calavera, agent orange, schweinsteiger, point of light, the federal government, fuzzades. these song names mean nothing to anyone, we don’t care about radio so they’re all too long but who gi
