OTR: Big Audio Dynamite - This Is Big Audio Dynamite

This Is Big Audio Dynamite is, to put it mildly, an inconsistent album. Side A is good (to varying degrees) while Side B is...
Well, let's just say that these guys weren't about to give Public Image Ltd. or New Order a run for their money with Side B of this record. Frankly, closing Side A with "The Bottom Line," which is by far the best thing on this album, is misleading. A "side-turner" track encourages the listener to flip the record over, because it creates curiosity. The hapless listener, seduced by the delight of a well-written, well produced song closing the first act wishes to press on. My recommendation if you're listening to Big Audio Dynamite's debut on vinyl: do not flip the record over! There is nothing worth listening to on Side B. Alternately, if you have the CD (like I do), press "stop" after track 4.
So, for the bargain price of...whatever the hell I paid for it used, I own a mediocre album, but what could have been a pretty good EP. … -
Lots of bands, lots of gigs

Saw a lot of bands in the last month..
Feeder - HMV Oxford Street 03/05/06
Hard-Fi with suport from Billy Bragg - Brixton Academy 15/05/06
Dirty Pretty Things - The Forum, Kentish Town 23/05/06
Hard-Fi, Graham Coxon, The Proclaimers, Orson, Boy Kill Boy - Freevolution, NewcastleGateshead 29/05/06
The Album Chart Show recordings, Koko, Camden, various dates, saw the following..
Mohair, Jenny Lewis, Wolfmother, Goldfrapp, The Pipettes, Boy Kill Boy, Dirty Pretty Things, Feeder, Nelly Furtado, The Feeling, Archie Bronson Outfit
Some thoughts..
- I really love The Feeling right now
- A lot of Hard-Fi. They played the same sets, but I'm not sick of them yet. Played new stuff, (You And Me, Suburban Knights), and some covers (E=MC2, Seven Nation Army). Particularly loving the E=MC2 cover, hope they record it as a bside.
- Paul Weller on stage with Hard-Fi at Brixton, doing Town Called Malice (!!!)
- I really not a fan of Orson, don't get why they're so popular, rather boring.
