An absolute tour de France…
The Mrs got me the vinyl for our ‘copper’ anniversary. The CD was well worn out.

Peter hook and the light are coming to the big top next month .
Saw them in Dolan’s a few years back , enjoyable .
Don’t you first need to be convinced it was good before rediscovering it?
Therapy? were in beast mode for those first 3 albums. The cover of Hüsker Dü’s Diane has to be one of the all-time great covers. Cairns howling “but it’s over now, and with my knife” is haunting.
Take a listen to the interview above. Cairns seems like a thoroughly alright sort*. Talks about how they were in contact again with Grant Hart a few months before he passed and talking about touring again.
*Have had this confirmed by an uber Therapy? fan mate of mine. Has every release in every format possible, and has seen them more times than he’s probably had hot dinners.
When I heard ‘Diane’ as a young lad, I’d no idea who Hüsker Dü were. It wasn’t til a few years later I’d hear of them. I think the cover actually brought the Dü a lot of new listeners.
I’ve the video of it on here now on the telly.
Die Laughing on now. Another fucking banger.
Had this on CD in an old car of mine. I used only ever keep a handful of albums in the car at any time and the absolute shit would be played out of them for a few months. Usually after a while those CDs would start skipping (probably from being tossed onto the seat or the floor or shoved into the glovebox whilst I simultaneously overtook something) and I would rotate the selection.
Anyways I must have been driven a fair bit to Thurles around that time as I always associate that album with bombing along through places like Rearcross and Milestone.

Andy Cairns was playing Cardiff about 10 years ago and James Dean Bradfield got up on stage and performed it with him. Two legends.
Which reminds me. I’ve rediscovered Condemned to Rock and Roll by the MSPs. The guitar work is very tasty indeed.
Therapy were awful lads.
