@milltownbros@DarbyshireDebs@LlSTENlNG_PARTY Always lost myself in the guitar bit at the end of the song - trying hard to match the emotion Matthew is delivering inthose parting lines - the last song written for the album - never did a demo for it
@milltownbros@LlSTENlNG_PARTY Could be our most fabulously baggy moment - all Joe Bloggs and bucket hats - mad for it tonight! Sleeping on the wet side of the sheets what about you??
Track 8. Seems to Me. This is our favourite song.
Composed autumn 1989 and demoed December 1990 and released as an indie single in May 1990. Re-recorded for Slinky. #timstwitterlisteningparty@LlSTENlNG_PARTY
Track 7. Something Cheap. This is our favourite song. Written autumn 1988 and demoed properly with Chris Allison in Dec 1989: appeared as B side to Seems to Me (Orca Records) in spring 1990 also as a B-side to Apple Green July 1991. #timstwitterlisteningparty@LlSTENlNG_PARTY
Track 3. Sally Ann. This is our favourite song. Composed early 1990. Originally demoed along with Nationality, Here I Stand in Camden spring 1990 #timstwitterlisteningparty@LlSTENlNG_PARTY
@milltownbros@LlSTENlNG_PARTY Real soft spot for this one although we rarely played it live - me and Dave had great fun doing the guitars - my fave riff is the little g to c lift just ahead of each verse… sorry blowin’ my own guitar
@milltownbros@LlSTENlNG_PARTY Much fun always playing this one - real wig out moment for me - this is Dad’s favourite one and it’s his birthday today - happy birthday Dad!
Track 1. Apple Green Written spring 1990 - first performed at St Mary's Teacher Training College Twickenham, early summer 1990 #timstwitterlisteningparty@LlSTENlNG_PARTY
@milltownbros@LlSTENlNG_PARTY The one that opened doors for us - played it with a strained voice and dodgy fingers at an open mic night in deepest Cambridgeshire last week - still rocks any which way!!
Track 4. WWSIJ. This is our favourite song. Written March/April 1990: released under Big Round Records Sept 1990: Indie Top Ten. Re-released as the Slinky version in Jan 1991: #timstwitterlisteningparty@LlSTENlNG_PARTY
