Re: New song "Phonographic Memory", August 28, 2020

Maybe its just me this isnt very good and I doubt I will bothered listening to it again In fairness, I think it's more clever and interesting than actually 'good', but that's fine - I think that about 20 or 30 EC tracks (including several on North if I'm really putting my cards on the table). But I...

Re: New album Hey Clockface will be released October 30, 2020

It's annoying that there isn't a European or UK store to order from. Being just US makes ordering the LP from there too expensive compared to Amazon etc. Would like to support EC's online store more but extra postage costs prohibit this, except for very light items. totally agree the fact it all co...

Re: Brutal Youth limited edition 2LP gatefold red vinyl

I bought the red vinyl version from Amazon only to receive an email Tuesday saying they were finding it difficult to obtain. Maybe I will end up with the normal version. When the album was originally released I was looking after my eldest daughter and she was about 8 at the time. She was up early i ...

Re: Trust Survivor - Round 4

I didnt vote for either of those so at least i can vote for my least favourite again. Trust is such a hard album to say you have a least favourite its a great great album. I will find it very hard to pick a favourite.

Hiding the poll whilst voting is taking place is a great idea too.

Re: New song ‘Hetty O’Hara Confidential’, July 10, 2020

Hetty is what I call one of Elvis's tuneless too many words songs. I didnt like it on first listen but on the second it fell right into place. I probabaly prefer it to No Flag but they are both good. Sheep, I'm intrigued. Which other songs would you consider in this category? Off the top of my head...
