RIP Steve Albini . Epic transformation from the original on this track . The wedding present wanted a harder edge , and he delivered. One of the best songs ever .
I just discovered this band. And I'm really disappointed. I'm disappointed that I went my whole life, when the 80s and 90s impacted me the most with music, and they never got in my path. I am absolutely obsessed with this song, and it now has a forever home in my playlist
One of the most UNDERRATED bands EVER! Each album is a proper musical experience! I saw them at The Brixton Academy in London,in May 1991,pity they only played for an hour and walked offstage.
they sometimes played short gigs back in the day, fast and furious stuff! My 1st live Present experience was in McGonagles in Dublin in 1988. Fantastic gig! @@PeAr_ShApE_Records
Used to work with a guy called Michael Parker about 10 years ago, he told me about this band. I didn't get round to listening to them until now. Cheers Mike, wherever you are.
Love, the Wedding Present, but my vote for one of the most underrated bands goes to Rock*A*Teens (not the Woo Hoo 60s instrumentalists) ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-Mv_NcJ9r6fU.html
@@colinpumpernickel2605 SNAKEY B?!! Never into them myself. More of pints of bitter mans myself.Saw the results of lads drinking too many of these though. Usually purple barf on carpets.
This Band, that song, those times... somehow this song keeps coming into my head. The words cement a feeling you get when love turns sour. The tune is so catchy, the band play to perfection and the vocal delivery hits a chord in my heart. All hail the Weddos
Yeah man. Do student unions even exist any more. Some of the best nights (and best bands) I ever had were at ULU and my own college (Watford) union bar. Great times man. Long missed
Was at a wedding when the DJ reluctantly played this. About 20 guys, all late 30s / early 40s chanting "I've just decided I don't THRUST you anymore" complete with pelvic thrusts.
This takes me back. Remember the first time i heard this and fell in love with the band and the music. Makes me want to jump around the room. Had the pleasure of seeing this band live a few times and thats somethiing i am glad about.
When I was a kid, my grandmother would put a medium sized bowl on my head and cut my hair around it. Looked like Gedge here. One of my favorite songs BTW
Whenever I listened to this song, Brian "Nutter" Flanagan said it was directed at me. I said, "Feck, what you think water doesn't flow off a duck's back"
I'll tell ya, I saw The Pressies at the Kilburn National in London, in November of 1989, and again at The Casbah in San Diego in mmmm...1994, I think it was. On this ocassion I sidled up to Gedge who was standing by the bar and asked him " Why did you sack Grapper?' He gave me a look and walked away.
This tune had been out a while, but I hadn't heard it. It was 1993, and my wife and I had split up for good, finally, after 15 years. I was not in a very good place, of course. I went into a record store (they still existed back then). I was thumbing through stacks, and I found this! It wasn't the story of what I was going through quite, but sometimes music will fit your sitch, even still. I played this quite a lot. Who was this band? I'd never heard of them out here in the middle of the southern Texas panhandle. No Google then . . .
I believe this was their first collaboration with Steve Albini. At the time I couldn't think of two more disparate parties to be working together. Time proved me wrong. Seamonsters was in my mind the best album ever.
The last great era of indie bands. Indie is just a description of bands in skinny trousers now. All signed to major labels. People consider Brit pop ( which I loathed ) as indie. Most of them were on major labels. Middle class, coffee table bands.
Damn it Vevo! This video IS Fantastic. If I get Alzheimer's I hope this is the last song I remember. Edit 10/21. I stand by my comment, but tomorrow my aunt’s going into a memory care center. Whatever that does. So, kinda feel a bit callous. Sorry Sally. Miss you. Time, family, and Rock n Roll.
Taped this song off John Peel one blustery Wednesday. The tape has long since worn out and is currently in some landfill in China. Something today made me think of this song and it is so damn good to hear it again. Funny though, after all these years I had no idea what the Pressies looked like. Gedge is not what I expected
No, I sent you that letter To ask you if the end was worth the means Was there really no in between? And I still don't feel better I just wondered if it could be like before And I think you just made me sure! But then that's typically you And I might have been a bit rude But I wrote it in a bad mood I'm not being funny with you But it's hard to be engaging When the things you love keep changing Brassneck, brassneck. I just decided I don't trust you anymore I just decided I don't trust you anymore First time you came over Do you remember you saying that you'd stay for good? No I didn't think you would Well we couldn't've been closer But it was different then, and that's all in the past There I've said it now at last! You grew up quicker than me I kept so many old things And never quite stopped hoping I think I know what this means It means I've got to grow up It means you want to throw up Brassneck, brassneck. I just decided I don't trust you anymore I just decided I don't love you anymore I just know, you weren't listening, were you? Oh please go, whenever you'd prefer to I said it means a lot, when you use an old phrase But then so what? We cant have it both ways I know, you're not bothered, are you? Even so, I'm not going to argue He wont object! Keep writing to me Just don't forget you ever knew me
