Not crap. In fact they must have been so good I even overlooked the fact that they sang in a Brummie accent!

Nice bump ...
I've recently bought the debut singles from Vileevils (Adam and Graham Poppie), Fucking and Fighting, which improves with a few plays. It was one of the songs that the reformed PWEI were going to record/release before Clint went back to his gold plated LA mansion

Shit before Dos Dedos Mis Amigos, though good iconography. Even as a student I couldn't hack the music.
What the fuck? You still think Richie Edwards is alive.
(Or you did a bit back, anyway.
)i wouldn't say that they were "wacky" at all, really. yeah, they pissed around and had fun, and they didn't take themselves too seriously, but wacky? nah...
and what's being a student got to do with whether you like them or not? i wasn't a student and i loved 'em, and still do...

shut it you egg!
we were talking on the weekend about when we went to watch them at the Powerhouse in the angel back in 1990 or so.
they were so good, my mate fell off the table top dancing along to Can U Dig It?
the poppies rocked it proper

Forgot all about this!

Forgot all about this!
ERK!! yes that may well have been me.....i was mid-leap and there was a guy in front of me with his back to the stage, as i was in the air i got shoved from behind and went teeth first into the guy's forehead....say sorry to your mate for me (if it was him anyway) - i tried to apologise last night but he went out of the mosh pit quite quickly, (althoguh he was smiling....)
By the way, how's your teeth miles? Bit loose???
I have done exactly the same thing myself, but that time I put my teeth through my bottom lip!
Etc....

I loved the really early stuff - 'Now For A Feast' was a first rate shambling C86 gem. Thought they lost the way somewhat after 'This Is the Day...' - trying too hard - but really got the shit working again around 'Dos Dedos Mis Amigos'. 'Ich Bin Ein Auslander' - a towering monument to industrial metal that could teach Trent Reznor a few things.
hullo torchsong, i'm off to see girls aloud again on saturday
anyway, i'm sort of the opposite to you with the poppies. i do like the early stuff, and box frenzy, but much prefer it when they do start learning how to use their samplers and equipment..."this is the day"..." is excellent, but the album i most go back to with them is "the cure for sanity" - i think they've honed their skills more by then, it's slicker (but not polished (good!)!!) dancier, moodier... but still the poppies. "the looks or the lifestyle" is well loved by me, too.

Was that the one with 'Get The Girl Kill The Baddies' on it? That was pretty cool...I'd dig out my PWEI collection but everything I've got bar 'Now For A Feast' is on tape, and all the tapes are in a chest of drawers that's currently blocked by a load of junk...
Btw dodge, I really like Girls Aloud these days - 'Call The Shots' and 'Can't Speak French' are ace...almost as good as Hard-Fi!
