Fucked Up / Hard Skin 7"
 |
| Real Life. (top LHS above clock) |
I've been intending to add discographies for Pink Eye, Marvelous Darlings etc, plus the 2016 FU records, but have instead been studying Black Iron Prisons and developing the perfect hunchback. Also now have company and need at least to pretend to be working, rather than taking pictures of records...
...but time and ebay wait for no man
...and since there's a bit of a retro vibe going on with the Hidden World shows
...and having just 'won' a nice copy of the beautifully crafted 'Cocks and Cunts EP'...

| Real Records. (Not pictured) |
... it seemed like the perfect chance to put it together with the non-record that seems to have inspired it.
Smoking crack
EDIT:
Ha, Just watched the vid through and realised my deliberate mistake about Cherry Beach - it's the 7th song on the set list. Everything else is true...
Career Suicide formed around the same time as Fucked Up - 2001 or thereabouts - Jonah is in both bands and their recorded output tailed off a little when Fucked Up became a full-time project.
Now things are kicking off again, they've been playing shows, have an imminent new LP and last weekend they played in England for the first time since 2008; the same year their last record, 'Cherry Beach' (7") came out. The London shows were great and on the last night they played a few extra songs, one of which was 'Cherry Beach'...
Below is a set list and video of the last night, the song doesn't appear on either, but they definitely played it at the end. It was really hot, sweaty and beer soaked. I'd 'danced' a little too enthusiastically and when the extra songs started, I was trying to decide if it would be less cool to have a heart attack in the mosh pit, or vacate and sit down, but then Cherry Beach came on and I had to stagger around a little longer. Fortunately they stopped just about then and I was able to sit on the edge of the stage clutching my chest and so, just before the ambulance came, I bagged a set list...

so one by one i let them go
all the things that i've ever known
the anchors fall out of my head
i can't look back at what i've shed
the tears are pouring from my eyes
those little weights i try to cry
to shake the earth and leave behind
i see things like i've never seen
become someone i've never been
by now i've dropped so many things
it's like i've grown a pair of wings
my mind supine, the kiss of sky
so fresh, so close, it seems that i can fly
where is the ox that left and got away
i flew away from all the pain of stress and tears
tear the sun and moon and split the sky
into the sky the light the peace of mind to find
find the beast and set a golden yoke
