MCLUSKY=dead.

Falco s now in a new rock band called Future of the Left, who have a double a-side single out and an album due in the fall. They are predictably great.

[googles extensively]

DAY = MADE

one of the other dudes is now in a band called shooting at unarmed men. they are not very good. at all.

i dunno about that, the album i'm not so hot on, but the EP i liked tremendously.

thought #1: Oh look a mclusky thread
thought #2: wtf i posted drunk to it at 1am!

I shall check out Future of the Left.

Falkous blogs regularly and entertainingly here. I like that he hates his cat.

Hmm, apparently I asked you that question. It seems a small thing to be so angry about

difference between you and me is still at normal prices.

WHERE OH WHERE IS MY VIRTUALLY UNTOUCHED COPY OF MCLUSKYISM

my copy of pain and sadness is traaaaaaaashed

I also saw this earlier and was actually gonna start/bump a thread about Amazon CD sellers... I mean are ppl actually paying prices this inflated is the question, any chump can list his CD rack and slap £stupid on them

Guess I'm too lazy to put my signed* Rice Is Nice single up for stupid money. Also, I pretty much doubt anyone is actually buying at those prices, yeah. But maybe...
(* I was young! Also, drunk.)

(Pissed off cz I have a tape which went for fifty quid on ebay last year, and another copy came up last month and got 95p)

amazon cd prices are usually complete hallucinations on the seller's part. that said, i'd probably pay embarrassing money for an LP of do dallas.

Looking at eBay completed listings, a copy of the Mcluskyism 3CD set went for $29.57 the other day... less than half the Amazon asking price.

That's still almost three times what it cost when it came out mind you

You can get a copy for $2.50 on Amazon US right now!

That's the 1 CD version - this here's the triple CD one

Saw this yesterday as well on DiS, I have all those CDs. Not willing to sell though.

Coincidentally, I interviewed Falco yesterday. Didn't mention this though, can't imagine he'd be very interested.

NOT DEAD*

Do we have any idea what the meaning of the asterisk on their name is? I'm guessing that it has something to do with the line-up but would be delighted to know more.

Now known as Mclusky* (asterisk in reference to missing members), the band reformed to play The Garage in London on 3 December 2015 to raise money for cancer research with Rat the Magnificent (featuring Ian Catskilkin of Art Brut).

Very helpful. Thanks!

I believe Damien is handling all the bass duties at this point

McLusky Do Dallas is one of the best albums ever made.

Also, to add a current bit of minutia, I think that Idles are the heir apparent to McLusky (not including Future of the Left). I spoke briefly to singer Joe Talbot briefly when they played Philly a year or two ago and mentioned this and he confirmed that at least one Idles member was a big fan.

I don’t think Idles are furious in the same way as Mclusky, and certainly don’t have the same dark humour.

I'll let them know that they were wrong when they told me.

Oh, and no dark humor in Idles? Um, okay.

I’m sure they’ll be fascinated to hear someone disagrees with you on the internet.

Being fans does not not make them heir apparent.

get in. any UK folks going to manchester show?

♫ all of your friends are cunts, your mother is a ballpoint pen thief ♫

blinding set last night. wow. treated to the almost entirety of 'do dallas'. their new bassist is a tank, as well.

i love mclusky a lot

the line "we do more drugs than a touring funk band" gets in my head all the time

the last minute and change of "Arming Eritrea" by FOTL is pretty much as good as rock music could ever be to me

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qkTvISL53HQ

YES to the Arming Eritrea song. That Future of the Left record is a powerhouse. There's a song towards the end, Drink Nike which is also a stunner.

Always had these down as a not quite as good 80s Matchbox. Are any of their albums as good as Horse Of The Dog?

the 2nd and 3rd LPs are both solid, caustic, tight as fuck noise rock.

I agree 'Do Dallas' is their best but 'The Difference' is the one I listen to most. It is indeed tight as fuck noise rock, but that slightlier poppy side on the 3rd gives it so much more.

I’m sure they’ll be fascinated to hear someone disagrees with you on the internet.

That's not the royal "you" here. That's you.

Maybe you just suck at dark humor?

I didn’t say there was no dark humour, I said it wasn’t the same as mclusky. There’s a difference.

So, by all means crack on, but you’re still wrong on the internet.

And you're a fucking idiot on the internet.

your search screenshot makes that claim pretty ironic

i'm a google search expert on the internet who would like to point out there's no way that 269,000 different web pages mention Idles the band, let alone 269,000 different pages that also mention their "dark humor"

this is page 3 of the same search query

me.me!

As far as humour goes, Mclusky have the distinction of actually being funny, especially on a line-by-line basis.
