i haven't heard it and i love it already

Promising signs they may somehow scrape another record together

― Andrew Thames (Andrew Thames), Tuesday, 9 September 2003 12:55 (twenty-two years ago)

They have, and it's lot more POP than the last one.

― Nathan W (Nathan Webb), Tuesday, 9 September 2003 12:59 (twenty-two years ago)

Yay! Probably!

― Andrew Thames (Andrew Thames), Tuesday, 9 September 2003 13:05 (twenty-two years ago)

I couldn't possibly think of a more appropriate colaboration.

yeah but does anyone else look at the name and just think BORING. I mean for christ's sake I can just imagine them grunting away over some trashy beat with a few motherfuckers and let me sit on your faces thrown in for good measure.

I've not heard it of course but the title doesn't bode well. There's a kind of cutesy vibe coming from "we don't play guitars" to me, like "awww bless those angry little girls", isn't this a kind of childish petulance?

Writing 100 words about a record you've not heard because of the name, when pretention goes TOO FAR.

LOOK AT THEM THERE WITH THOSE LOVELY LITTLE SYNTHS

― Ronan (Ronan), Tuesday, 9 September 2003 13:16 (twenty-two years ago)

IS THAT A 303 YOUNG LADY? YES IT IS! YES IT IS YOU LITTLE SCAMP!

― Ronan (Ronan), Tuesday, 9 September 2003 13:17 (twenty-two years ago)

Don't worry they don't play any of those either, and yes this is a very lame schtick, I just like the records. Mostly. They were dull live, but better than Peaches.

― Andrew Thames (Andrew Thames), Tuesday, 9 September 2003 13:39 (twenty-two years ago)

Yeah I mean I might like it!

― Ronan (Ronan), Tuesday, 9 September 2003 13:50 (twenty-two years ago)

I don't know yet

― Ronan (Ronan), Tuesday, 9 September 2003 13:51 (twenty-two years ago)

I went to the launch party for this record, in a Berlin art gallery in June. The record is very KLF, very Tone Loc, very Shampoo. A big stomping party grrrl smash, a bit conceptual, a bit high concept, but extremement pop. A novelty record, if you will. Je chante pour les transistors (rhymes with transitoires). I like the conceit 'We don't play guitars', ie we are not rockists, ie we have no penises yet can still manage vulgar raunch quite successfully. Then again, where are Shampoo now?

Wow, namecheck on air (on that horrid but compelling show) for 'DJ Martian in the chatroom', comparing Suede to 'Scary Monsters'!

― Momus (Momus), Tuesday, 9 September 2003 14:35 (twenty-two years ago)

I quite like someone to make a single called 'we don't play any instruments'.

― cage-bot (jdesouza), Tuesday, 9 September 2003 14:36 (twenty-two years ago)

even better is their version of wordyrappinghood.

two years pass...

REVIVE

So, uh, I've been wondering: what does gaffer tape have to do with anything?

― chrisco (chrisco), Wednesday, 14 September 2005 18:16 (twenty years ago)

Gaffa Tape = Roadies = Big Hairy Blokes

The Tiefschwarz Black Box Remix is Quite Good.
