  11. Guten Morgen... 🥱

    Und täglich streikt das Murmeltier äh die DB, ich darf also wieder mal meinen müden Kadaver über Umwege zur Arbeit schleppen. Wenigstens mit der U-Bahn, denn meine heutige #Morgenekstase weist mich auf folgendes hin:

    The Fatima Mansions - Only Losers Take The Bus

    🎶
    I hate misunderstandings
    Hey, get these dead bodies off my racetrack!
    And we cry out with joy
    As we drive through the rain
    And our enemies claw
    From every god damned side!
    Only losers take the bus....

  15. Guten Morgen... 🥱

    Les ich Nachrichten aus den USA zu früher Stunde, wird das Brötchen mir fad im Munde...
    Jetzt mal ernsthaft, in manchen Bundesstaaten wollen die doch wirklich den Taliban Konkurrenz machen, anders kann ich mir dieses mittelalterliche Gebaren nicht mehr erklären. Drum fällt meine heutige #Morgenekstase angemessen krötig aus 🔥

    The Fatima Mansions - Go Home Bible Mike

    🎶
    Welcome to Apeville! Now you're a citizen, too
    Meet Mrs. Doreen Pompidou / She'd like to do the shimmy on top of you
    The wall is coming down / The one which holds the house up
    A brass band playing in a dumptruck is visible through clouds of brickdust
    As people dressed as cows form an orderly queue
    For a drug that makes you dead for a second or two
    I raise myself from my punchbowl, drowning:
    "The Yakuza are singing--it can't be true!"
    "Go home, Bible Mike!" / "Go home, Bible Mike!"
    "Go home, Bible Mike!" / "Go home, Bible Mike!"
    Her hand squeezes mine and I shudder
    She says, "That was one shock, now here comes another"

  17. OK, I have nothing whatsoever to do with Valentine's Day, I'm happily divorced and single. And I have no plans to change that.

    But at least musically I can contribute something appropriate. Or something like that. Here you go, the cuddliest Fatima Mansions song they've ever been capable of 😘

    You're A Rose

    youtu.be/Nb-ZNWju6QU

    🎶
    This is Mister Blank calling, gorgeous
    From the slum which time ignores
    Where folks use razor blades for toothpaste
    And every breath is a holy war
    Were you sleeping? Do you hate me?
    I've been dozing in the midnight sun
    And I've solved all of my problems
    Making the many into one

    The Good Times are all over
    I don't care, it seems I missed them
    But I miss your smile, your laugh, your snore,
    Your fond contempt, your faithful rage

    You're a rose
    You're a rose in a crown of thorns

    You don't mind the queues, the burning trains
    The squalid, mute despair
    You don't mind deceiving lovers
    You ignore the stinking air
    Well, now accept you're just a person
    Not the touchstone, not the face
    Of the ages past, their grandeur
    And the death-wish of the Master Race

    The dawn sky is getting bleaker
    Our demise could not be neater
    And your face hangs down before me now
    Like a rootless flame; in awe I stare

    You're a rose
    On fire

    You're a rose in a crown of thorns
    Well, I think you'd better hang up on the jerk
    It's been too long, too long, too long
    From now on there's only gonna be one way
    One way traffic now
    The door is open, the door is open wide 'cause I said so...

  19. Oh dear, I have already failed to keep up the #30DaySongChallenge. So what, I'll just continue with breaks. Pft.

    Day 7: a song to drive to.

    I don't even have a driving licence, what am I going to take...? Ah yes, if in doubt, something from my favourites always works 👀

    The Fatima Mansions - Only Losers Take The Bus

    🎶
    Churchill was a shopping bag (goldrush almighty)
    Can you draw the Chinese flag? (goldrush almighty)
    It's, uh, three blue lines and six dalias
    Paris is in India (goldrush almighty)
    Let's go down, o my friends
    All alone we descend
    Plastic food, tv
    Take your eyes off of me!
    Only losers take the bus
    Only losers take the bus
    I hate misunderstandings
    Hey, get these dead bodies off my racetrack!
    And we cry out with joy
    As we drive through the rain
    And our enemies claw
    From every god damned side!
    Only losers take the bus....
    Only losers, only losers, only losers take the bus
    I'm no loser, I'm a letch!
    Protect me! protect me!
    I'm not one of them....

  21. Currently listening to ... #FatimaMansions 1990 album Viva Dead Ponies.Its an interesting album, in that it very much staddles the electro 80s sound and maudlin 90s indie sound, but mixes them together in a satisfying way.

  22. Absolutely gutted to hear this. Cathal wasn't just a hugely talented musician and a lovely man, he was also a personal friend although we sadly lost touch over the last 6 or 7 years.

    I really can't say more than Tim Burgess (The Charlatans) tweeted: "His brilliant songs remain. Play them loud and remember him."

    Sláinte, big guy.
