Comment on A&R by Carpe Diem

by far the best thing to come out of manchester in a while!!! they don’t have this stupid urge to be like Oasis, like every other Manchester band does. The guitarist is unbelievable and is up there with the likes of Jonny Marr. What is even more amazing is that the drummer is Simon Wolstencroft (the fall 86-97) and also was school friends with Jonny Marr. They have only done 2 gigs in Manchester but they are already bigger than that. They have got a gig lined up supporting Domino Bones and also are set to support Ian Brown on his latest tour. The magical bit about Carpe Diem is even though they take influences from the stones, led zep etc and even though they try shy away from being like Oasis, there gigs have the same feeling as Oasis in 1994. Fuck Twisted Wheel, Fuck The Courteeners. These are the next Oasis if not bigger!!!

HOODY

I’VE GOT A HOODY AND I SCARE YOUR GRAN
I’VE GOT A HOODY AND IT MAKES ME A MAN
I CARRY A KNIFE ,I AM HARD

I’VE GOT A HOODY AND IT KEEPS MY HEAD WARM

I’VE GOT MURDEROUS INTENT IN MY HEAD
I’VE GOT TO STOP WRITING COS NOW IM OFF TO BED
ITS HARD TO BE 11 AND LEAD AND NOT BE LED

I married a girl from Thailand
Her name was Kim Suc U
She was sent to me mail order
So I didn’t have much chance for review

Alarm bells started ringing, deep inside my head
When I copped a portion of Wedding Veg
as we got into bed.

Here here. Many have made, and continue to make, a nice living from churning out the same old romanticised stories of Manchester’s past. Let someone else have a go.

Well said. Your ethics shine through, brilliantly.

Dya think its worth having it in the Fat Northerner colour pallette to keep the consistancy? Apologies if that’s one of things you’ll be doing…

Over and out
