I hadn't heard of them before. At that point, "Flag Day" had flopped, and I think "Sheep" was still coming out. Anyway, it was half a year before "Happy Hour" became the breakthrough hit. I enjoyed the Housemartins act better than the headliners.CTVhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06775874319624381020noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5648369456837438558.post-65436756759748134562007-03-13T14:54:00.000-06:002007-03-13T14:54:00.000-06:00HiActually, www.thehousemartins.com is a fansite -...Hi<BR/><BR/>Actually, www.thehousemartins.com is a fansite - but keep on keeping on with the Martins love!<BR/><BR/>Stuart<BR/>www.thehousemartins.comAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5648369456837438558.post-62752626140208402522007-03-11T21:39:00.000-06:002007-03-11T21:39:00.000-06:00Wow.

Makes me go back to the Chuck D lecture I just saw, where he said when asked what was new that he was listening to, he said he was too busy discovering old stuff. A few more d/l's on this than usual, more hardcore Housemartins fans will slowly find this page, (the links will all be good for the life of the blog), I think Wikipedia had it right - we are a cult! But damn it, I tell you: It's sheep we're up against! Thanks again for taking the time to write and share the link, Bruce. Or should I call you Grinning Priest Bruce of the Boston nest of the Housemartinians?funeralpuddinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17383346426841005156noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5648369456837438558.post-87712209183894510342007-03-07T14:46:00.000-06:002007-03-07T14:46:00.000-06:00By the way, the Stevie Wonder original of "Heaven ...By the way, the Stevie Wonder original of "Heaven Help Us All" which I have never heard was just posted here:<BR/><BR/>http://matlovesu.blogspot.com/2007/03/stevie-wonder-heaven-help-us-all-stevie.html<BR/><BR/>Bruce K.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5648369456837438558.post-88123562250043149032007-03-06T06:49:00.000-06:002007-03-06T06:49:00.000-06:00I like the louder guitar on Glastonbury, too.

And what a great set list.<BR/><BR/>By the way, your version of the demos is a better (earlier generation?) copy than I had. Some interesting stuff there, although not quite ready for primetime.<BR/><BR/>Bruce K.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5648369456837438558.post-28766950652770727522007-03-05T10:25:00.000-06:002007-03-05T10:25:00.000-06:00It's funny, the only flaw in the Glastonbury show ...It's funny, the only flaw in the Glastonbury show is the guitar is a slight touch too loud in the mix, but in the studio albums it was always more buried, so it's curiously good to hear Stan Cullimore so loud live, and such a crunchy sound! I should have noted that Cullimore is more the collaborative songwriter with Heaton, too, more than Cook, kind of like the Graham Coxon to Heaton's Albarn (or vice versa i should say).I know Paul Heaton plays guitar as well, but I think it's Cullimore that is much louder here, plus he's really "on" for this show, as is the whole band i should note. I believe this is either first generation FM or possibly even a pre-FM, it sounds so good, although again, the clarity of studio with the Housemartins is not to be underrated. I really, really like the BBC session as well, i like how they leave the reverb on when the band is talking, kind of giving away one of the tricks of that smooth, smooth sound. Lots of d/l's on these, glad to see the love of the old-school Britpop is still strong.funeralpuddinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17834323738195975457noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5648369456837438558.post-22371879980146883572007-03-05T09:52:00.000-06:002007-03-05T09:52:00.000-06:00Hey, just listened to this, the Glastonbury stuff ...Hey, just listened to this, the Glastonbury stuff is really good quality, better than I had ever heard.<BR/><BR/>Housemartins rule the charts in an alternative universe!<BR/><BR/>Bruce K.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5648369456837438558.post-11267856982053390792007-03-05T08:11:00.000-06:002007-03-05T08:11:00.000-06:00I once said to a friend that the Housemartins make...I once said to a friend that the Housemartins make the music I would make if I could write great melodies, sing like an angel, and was a British socialist Christian.<BR/><BR/>"Happy Hour" hit like a great pop song, and then later you got the LP and realized what great political/social insight these folks had.<BR/><BR/>Sadly/stupidly I somehow managed to miss them playing in Boston. I could blame student finances, but I really should have gone.<BR/><BR/>I went through a period of obsessive completism on these guys, and I think I have all the rarities, including those here, but I will download just to be sure and thanks in any case.<BR/><BR/>Bruce K.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
