Postcards is a meh album for me. It's not war ..was the first lead single I was disappointed by but I do like it live for some reason.
The verses of some kind of nothingness reminds me of the housemartins Build ( the buh buh build bit)
Didn't agree with Adam's hatred for postcards and Hazelton avenue but his reaction was very funny
Golden slumbers I think is great and I loved the shoebox. Only paid £80 for it I'm sure on release or £75? Def not £100. It was overpriced but the copy of Nicky's notebook is ace.
Like many I remember preferring a lot of the b-sides so agree with Tim some odd decisions there unless they were written or finished after the album's release?
This was the acute laryngitis tour where half the gigs were postponed. Didn't see them in London till January 2011 but James was on fire so worth the wait. Ian McCullough was meant to play one of the original dates.
Ooh and the album launch gig is James's worst gig ever. Bad day at the office
Bought a shedload of merch that tour including paying a fiver for a sheet of stickers. Idiot.
