Dear Mr McCluskey,
I
dont know where you stand in the war currently being fought over disputed
forms of audio entertainment, there is a chance you are entirely engrossed
in craft, and musicianship, tho, with any luck you are also from the
passion and balls school of noise. O.k, Enola gay, nice song that sir,
fooking lovely song, how much to spend a night with it? or could we
possibly just take it out for a dance, maybe drug it at a party, haul it
outside and through the streets of our dirty city.. drag it through all
the nuks and crannies and maybe end up in a basement somewhere in the
Dingle and pump it full of nauseas giggle gasses. i have a friend. sorry,
4 friends who while recently recording in a small northern town
accidentally spewed out a rampant, sweaty and illegitimate rendition of
your well crafted 1980 hit.. when i listened back to the recordings
later that night amongst the gasps and the lies and broken drumstick
shaped pieces of loud was a shining pop moment. The tune and execution are not from the hands and feet of the able, but from the stomachs and
backhands of the unashamed. Im fully aware every time i press play on the
machine and listen back i am simply beckoning the lawyers closer...
so i throw my hands up.. i admit it.. this is me waving the white rag... i
couldnt help it, i need it... the residents of liverpool need it,
and be
able to purchase it on white label 12" in Probe, the men and
women glued to their sofa's watching endless streams of shit for
brains audio on their t.v's need to see it, Blair needs it on his list of things to name drop for his next
campaign.... and the children that are so easily swayed into darker paths
need its light.... quite simply the world needs The Immigrants rendition
of Enola Gay.
After shaking
down the offending recording artists, we managed to put together a decent
incentive and pay off: |
|
4
superkings,
a top quality bottle
opener,
a couple of
Teeth
a roll of duct tape,
a couple issues of Viz,
David Bowies Greatest
Hits (tape copy, not the rights.)
3 handfuls of
blonde curly hair.
and a day out for 4
adults in Runcorn Old Town.
Im confident
this will be a handsome sum for the rights to release this necessary
noise, if however you want to discuss this further please contact us .
