FROM THE ARCHIVES....A SERIES FOR SATURDAYS

I should explain, that the undernoted post went up at the end of the 2007 Easter break.....I also wanted to include all the comments received as it highlights just how much these so often contribute to making TVV a better place.....

GOOD MORNING MA'AM, I'VE COME TO READ YOUR GAS METER

It's Monday and there's a load of people who are returning to work today after a two-week break who are bound to be feeling lousy.

This is intended to cheer you up a bit:-

mp3 : Half Man, Half Biscuit - Architecture And Morality, Ted And Alice

Available to buy on the extended version of Back In The DHSS right here.

And here's a rare little number from a slightly more famous band:-

mp3 : R.E.M. - Why Not Smile (Oxford American Version)

Taken from the b-side of the Daysleeper single.

Why Not Smile! Fantastic. Up is utterly wonderful, one of the year's best records and their career. Michael Stipe is great songwriter. I'll always have a place in my heart for R.E.M.

G'Day JC - after the title of the post I was sure you were going to post Bogus Official actually, although it's not as good a song.

Liking the REM - never even heard of that version before.

Well, whoever took the photo and posted it at flickr.com said it was a ruddy gas meter. At least he could smoke a fag as he snapped away.....

So where in the blazes do you go on holiday?? Any room for a star-struck straggler who wouldn't be ashamed to ask for autographs/photographs???

Happy Memories. And it's stirred them enough to add a bonus HMHB song:-

mp3 : Half Man Half Biscuit - Joy Division Oven Gloves

Taken from the wonderfully named Achtung Bono, which can be bought here.
