Foremost Poets - Beside Yourself

Don't say you haven't been warned!

I went into town this afternoon to look for clothes, but I didn't buy any. Instead I spent all of £20 buying four albums: Motorbass/Pansoul; Air/Premieres Symptomes; Definitive INXS; and I Feel Free - Ultimate Cream. I'd barely buy half that for €30 in the land of rain and winos, and I wouldn't spend the money anyway out of indignation at the prices... Wicked!

Went to their gig in Dolan's last weekend - a properly cool band. Live house music with a brass section; guitar, keyboard and drums; and a laptop thumping out funky basslines. Two big voices up front.

Wicked!

I absolutely loved their fast stuff; was less keen on the mellower tunes, but that's me...

Tin soldiers and Nixon coming,
We're finally on our own.
This summer I hear the drumming,
Four dead in Ohio.

Gotta get down to it
Soldiers are cutting us down
Should have been done long ago.
What if you knew her
And found her dead on the ground
How can you run when you know?

Gotta get down to it

We're finally on our own.
This summer I hear the drumming,
Four dead in Ohio.
