The first and only time I ever crowdsurfed was to Carter, at one of their reunion gigs. I was over 30 at the time. It was a beautiful moment.

Falling back in love w/these dudes thx to video streaming service. The only living boy in new cross is really fucking great.
Yeah I'm on a YouTube binge tonight, haven't listened to them in forever. They sound really contemporary, at least if your reference points are M.I.A. and Sleigh Bells.

Their best stuff can be pretty devastating for all its archness.

I still wonder why "all their songs are about politics" was a bad thing. was it because pretty much every cunt who used to slag them off for that is now a centrist dad at best?
