Thanks to this I just watched the promo single for "She Will Only Bring You Happiness." I had no idea the single mix changed the bridge to "our old singer is an ex-criminal."

i was surprised, too, when i first heard that version of the song.

Anyhow, Future Of The Left are quite good. "Real Men Hunt In Packs" is now my Myspace profile song.

Awesome, always did love me a little Mclusky.  The name choice sounds a little provocative, no?

They sound pretty cool, hopefully they'll hook up with Albini and make a stonkin' record for people to break plasterboard to!

Yeah I have to agree with Kai on this one. Those first four tracks alone make this one a keeper.

Though, in retrospect, perhaps it's telling that the B-sides disc of mcluskyism is my favourite.

1956 and All That has some of my favourite guitar playing on any song.  Honestly, that guitar tone makes Shellac sound tinny in comparison!

Yeah but Kai broke the 'No Coloreds' rule so his opinion is null and void.

He disobeyed the apartheid!

I've been listening to their Myspace tunes all morning. I want this album to come out now.

I have a horrible feeling that Shooting At Unarmed Men were in Australia late last year and played a show with The Nation Blue, and I got there too late to see them.
Am I wrong? Australian mclusky fans?
