Song by Toad I found while researching Edinburgh music recommendations for a pal moving there, and I since try and make it a point to remember to have a look ever since I was delighted by the first couple of minutes I got to hear of your Valentines podcast. That, to me, was great radio. Of other blogs I notice most of the good ones for me are based in Scotland, Scottish associated and the like. And they don't have day-glo pictures and an overload of Hot Chip or overwhelming Radiohead adoration. I can't recall any Christians songtitles. Were they from the same time as Hue & Cry?

But definitely not before lesbianism. I think humans expanded out of Africa and beyond the Middle East well before Islam was invented. But definitely not before lesbianism.

Or Egyptians. Definitely fish, though. Disabled, lesbian, black, Muslim, fish.

Time to investigate further I think. I think that every time I hear their songs. Hello Ben, Some Velvet Blog is actually not one I read, not out of any sort of judgment call, just because there are lots of blogs out there and you just can't read them all. I've pinched the mp3s you mentioned though and am currently working my way through some older posts. Those Muslims quotes were superb - what normal, down to earth, decent lads they came across as. Much better than The Christians. Thanks China – I downloaded some songs of theirs ages ago, which I really liked, but know virtually nothing about them. Time to investigate further I think.

And that was before I even read anything about them. Just the bandname was enough for me - and possibly other things copped in the nanosecond it took me to go and hear their music: the lack of dayglo clothes; the lack of a studied SXSW-friendly scruffiness; the promise of something not beholden to Radiohead or Hot Chip; the superbly sussed name in this era of very irritating ones; and the fact that I hope they won't be busting a gut to be pals with Lightspeed Champion and and... And a few minutes ago I finally let my eyes take on some words at the aformementioned blog and the delight continues thanks to the quote: "We don't know what the fuck we're doing. And that's why it sounds like The Velvet Underground." Why did it never occur to me to say that all these years? Amazing how refreshing The Muslims sound. No wonder perhaps since I write this in a office sat next to someone blasting the some crap R&B pop, who was just asking me about last nights American Idol, and i am steeling myself for hate campaign since today's national paper here in Singapore has quoted me saying not-nice things about Mariah Carey after i was asked for a quote w/ regard to her somethingsomething sales something means she 'beats' Elvis... Anyway, ramble ramble to share that Velvet quote with you. Thanks.
