In the way that some people look forward to Christmas, or the start of the football season – in the eyes of your humble DJ, the sky is always a little bluer, the birds sing a little more sweetly, and the smiles on the faces of the lickle children are little wider when there’s a new Fall LP to be played.

Hell, I even accidentally heard 10 minutes of Chris Evans this morning in a cafe and didn’t feel my ususal urge to send him an envelope dipped in Anthrax.

5 tracks from their new masterpiece “Erstaz GB” were featured tonight with 5 more to follow next week. By which time the LP will be out and the streets will be throning with smiling citizens all entoning “I had to wake up the cat , to feed the fucking dog” in their best Mark E Smith voices.
