Who else enjoys the sheer wonder of Eat My Goal by Collapsed Lung? It is genius. Here Be Sample Lyrics (yes I know it's long, screw you):

Say Ho wo [ho wo] Say Eat my goal [eat my goal]
Say eat my goal [eat my goal]
Say Ho [ho] Say Ho wo [ho wo]
Say Eat my goal [eat my goal] Say eat my goal [eat my goal]

I know no woos
i know you're no fools
we're in love with the beautiful game with no shame
that's cool, true, but jump in the queue
complete time brothers with the peak time tools
can't hide caught offside down with the art and the pride
i know you got soul
i know you can eat my goal
cos us be a grand tue i've been told
in the nick of time, nick of time,
make a fine rhyme sick of mine
given up the possibility to resign
making out i know something you don't
making out you'd cope with a joke but you won't
admit to being a big tooth
spoon full of rapture, rhymes as it hits you
may or may not be amused
no ask me cos me plain bemused

Repeat chorus

looking for a saviour to save ya
from a lack of knowledge
this little fella won't get you through college
yeah knowledge is fine, but the party's mine
no no ask me about summer so
let everybody in the house say disco
got things to say all about having nothing to say
i never have my way
the new part team of mum won't move into ma home
to play sport and to forget to call their mums on the telephone
use some bass, lower the tone, lower the tone
don't ask me cos me not know
serious question spoken in a joke
and with the mind of a lesser spotted bloke
that won't make you choke

Repeat chorus

I bought said single. They did an Elastica cover once (labelmates innit)! Bloke out of said band is on a friend-of-friend's list.

No way! That's awesome. That song is a favourite in the office.

Rest of their output = questionable. At least, the other couple of tracks I've got on Deceptive 50 are pretty bobbins.

Man, I just had a pang of nostalgia for ancient indie that was a bit rubbish (http://snow.prohosting.com/ukband/discography_Tys.htm).

[katstevens.livejournal.com]

Can't remember who it is exactly. Possibly scissorkicks rings a bell?

[boyofbadgers.livejournal.com]

That's the dude. Made me a copy of the unreleased AC Temple album back in the days of uk.m.a

Yes indeed! I once told him I really liked his band Credit To The Nation, and then had to slink away in shame at getting those two bands confused.
