COVID-19 permitting, the plan is to play ‘Seamonsters’ live next year. It’s an interesting one to perform because it’s very intense & emotional. Last time we did it I had to stop chatting between songs - it spoilt the mood.

In February 1990, we released the 'Brassneck' single. One of its formats was a 7" in a hand-painted sleeve. We did 3,000 of them! Does anyone still have one? Post a picture!

My dad’s old office stapler has finally given up the ghost. He gave it to me in the 1970s when he changed jobs and I’ve been using it ever since. Well done, the Rexel Sirius! Happy retirement after 40+ years of continued service.

Released almost 34 years to the day after the original 'My Favourite Dress' single, click on the link for the new version! It’s always an experiment to try an established song in an acoustic style, so I'm pleased that it came out well.

When ‘Seamonsters’ was released it split our fans. For many, I guess it was too great a departure from the frantic jangling of ‘George Best’! I can understand that… but we weren’t about to make the same record over & over!

Oh, yeah… I’m going to try being a live acoustic human jukebox on Thursday. It’ll be a bit like the raffle except this time you choose a song and I’ll play it. I’ll also answer any questions. Shall we say 18:30 BST 23/04/20 live on Twitter & Facebook?

People say that the vocals are too quiet on ‘Seamonsters’… and I think on ‘Rotterdam’ they might have a point. But, overall, the quietness adds to the dark feel, I’ve always thought.

‘Dalliance’. It might be an old song… but there’s a new acoustic version which takes it into a different place. Hear it here:

One of my favourite bands is Altered Images. One of my favourite places in the world is Portmeirion in Wales. One of my favourite TV programmes is 'The Prisoner'. How I lived all these years not knowing about this video?

I don't think I've ever had a Wedding Present guitarist tie their shoelace mid-song before! Rachael Wood did exactly that during the breakdown section of 'My Favoutite Dress' last night in Valencia. Not caught on this video but you can see my reaction!

[1/2] ‘Dalliance’ is one of those songs that builds and builds. I remember Keith saying that it felt like a series of explosions. Even in the quiet bits there are these little drum fills, or guitar parts that…

I’ve always been quite proud of the ‘this razor; he’s left it on your shelf’ line because it’s so graphic. There’s no ambiguity; it’s just the heart-breaking evidence that someone else has been intimate with your lover.

Around 2m30 on ‘Carolyn’ you can hear me telling Albini that there is ‘no more’ singing to record on the song. I can’t remember if that was left on by mistake.
