Lords of Bastard
The Other 'Alf is a loacal radio DJ and erstwhile music journalist, so we regularly get freebie CDs dropping through the door. They're always accompanied by press releases, most of which follow the usual format and are rather dull, so it's always fun when something more creative slips through the net:
"lords of bastard
www.lordsofbastard.com
www.myspace.com/lordsofbastard
BEEEEEP! Tshhhh, tssssh, burr ba burrrr ba burrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr!
- This is the musical masterstroke that kicks off Lords of Bastard's self titled debut album, Lords of Bastard.
Following tthe planetary success of their single, Off With Their Heads / Kingsize Karma, this release offers more of the same journey through sludge, doom, punk and stoner rock, but this time there are seven more whole songs. As lead singer Mike puts it, "This is an album".
So if you like albums, then this might be for you.
Having played with many excellent touring bands across Scotland, over the past few years, LoB's sound has really developed. There are quieter bits and louder bits, and some bits that seem faster than others but might not be, when drummer Rik was intrerviewed about this recently he said "yes".
As the sleeve would suggest, LoB like their vintage amps turned up to "Big"; this could be what it would sound like if the 1970s were angry at you.
Recorded in Edinburgh by no-one famous, and not featuring Mary J Blige, this heady mix of space weed, dungeons and purple promises to be a trest for fans and a dreadful risk to others.
Available from 8th Sept 2008, in exchange for money, on CD and download."
Sadly I didn't like the music much (not my thing - lots of thrashy bass guitars and people screaming "Aaaaaargh!" a lot), but there you go: You can't have everything.
Today is my birthday and I'm off to the cinema to see The Mist (see if I can frighten the baby out of me), then going swimming. I made a yummy chocolate cake last night. I shall also be eating that.

Happy Birthday Clare!
I thought I'd have a look in on you to see how the new book is going and am pleased to see you have an agent and ANOTHER book on the way (not to mention a baby).
So good luck in all your endeavours and I look forward to reading your new stuff.
