i haven't listen to million dead for ages, and was never a huge fan of them when they were around but i had some on last night and frank sure does put all his contemporaries to shame with some of these lines

He did

a course on socialism or something and I'm sure pilfered loads of ideas from that.
works well though!
on the first album anyway


...

Do you know that for sure, or are you just being a twat?

Anyone who knows any details about Frank's education should be able to answer that fairly easily.


.

he did some sort of history-based course at LSE, i believe.


it's true

my favourite:

Let’s all go hand in hand to the local polling station and make our own categories then vote for ourselves.

vote for ourselvvesssssssssss


"Willy wonka was a capitalist confidence trickster

a poster boy for neo-liberalism"


Thing about them is

show the lyrics to anyone who doesn't know Million Dead - and, full disclosure, I've done this with Charlie & The Propaganda Myth Machine - and they'll start to see Des'Ree's point about preferring fried bread to the supernatural. A lot of the time it only works with the method of delivery


...

The only lyrics I respect.

Especially MacGyver.

What it's about? Fuck knows. MacGyver, I guess.


Eton

LSE (History)


...

No 'course on socialism' at Michael Mouse Poly then? Bummer.


go on

tell me what album i should buy


a song to ruin first

then harmony no harmony. the order they were released.


both

srsly.


Really...

both.


^ exactly

that. it was a cool to see him move to more 'personal' lyrics in his solo stuff, and join every other fucker with a guitar moaning about girls, drinking and suchlike but the million dead lyrics were far more inventive.


I liked...

"raise my hand not in a fist but in question"


how about like you would in a classroom?

like whole hand up, or one finger extended? i think thats what he means....


I

gave my eyes to Stevie Wonder
