Let's Talk About "Failed Suicide Club"
1 Reply

There's a new Babybird album out.  Have you heard it?  It's called Ex-Maniac, and it's a keeper. Last time, I wanted to talk about "Bastard," the song that is still my favourite track on the album.  …

Let's Talk About "Bastard"

So I've been listening to "Ex-Maniac" all day long, and I've come to the conclusion that "Bastard" is my favourite song of the bunch.  In an effort to try to get some lyrics up and some conversation…

There are :30 second clips up at Amazon.co.uk: http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B God.  This album is going to be a stunner.  Just listen to "Drug Time."  I can't wait. -Ben

U.S. Distribution of "Ex-Maniac"
2 Replies

What's up, everyone? Although I've already ordered Ex-Maniac from Amazon.co.uk, I'm wondering whether or not there will be any U.S. distribution of the album or any of the singles.  (Even digital dis…

Love Failed Suicide Club - Hate that the Early Edition previews have been chopped into 30 second pieces. Again, I think either this or Drugtime (I think I really just like Drugtime) would make a brilliant single.

Bastard is a fantastic song - Failed Suicide Club has single written all over it!

I do remember hearing Lily Allen's F**k you on the radio quite a bit last summer - if a song like that managed to get as much attention as it did, I'm sure Bastard would have a chance =p

Sorry Guys, NO WAY would a song called "BASTARD" get a single air play in the UK. As much as you, I and millions of others can empathise with the lyrics, NO CHANCE.

Karel, I am totally in agreement with you about the last tracks -- especially "...Backseat..." What a stunning song -- and what a great ending! I still think that "Bastard" could go far...after all, in today's market, don't ALL singles have to be o…

Karel Brooke replied to Ben Gott's discussion 'Let's Talk About "Bastard"'
Interesting to see different perspectives on the songs - Bastard and Drug Time are great tracks but not singles (in my opinion). Too obvious. I still think 'For The Rest Of Our Lives' would fit that bill, just because it has such a terrific, lifting…

Richard, we shall see—I'm heading into work tomorrow (I teach middle school here in the U.S.) and I'm going to share a few of the tracks with some of my musically-inclined students. On another note, I was disappointed that "Isn't Love Wonderful" di…

Richard Brookes replied to Ben Gott's discussion 'Let's Talk About "Bastard"'
See, I was thinking Drugtime too - mostly for the lyrical hook and the fact that it'd probably go down really well with students (if you know what I mean, har har). But there's something about Bastard as it is on the album- a certain je ne sais quoi…

Ben Gott replied to Ben Gott's discussion 'Let's Talk About "Bastard"'
Richard, while we're at it, let's talk singles. I think that "Bastard" would be a great single, actually -- it's got the beat, the memorable chorus, and, like Meredith Brooks's "Bitch," a "naughty word" in the title. That aside, though, I've got to…

Richard Brookes replied to Ben Gott's discussion 'Let's Talk About "Bastard"'
I'm with you Ben, It's certainly one of the best and grooviest songs on the album (though sadly, I can see how some of the other songs have a lot more single potential) - I remember hearing the band playing this one live, and thinking to myself "gee…

Ben Gott replied to Karel Brooke's discussion 'Ex Maniac - pre release listen'
I can safely say that "Ex-Maniac" may just be the best Babybird album so far. After downloading from iTunes and running the album through software to regain some of the dynamics (sorry, guys, but the end of "Unloveable" is a complete clipped disast…

"Crucifix F-Word"

I just dug this one out of the vaults...it's a bit of a Babybird mash-up. (All FWIW, as usual!) Hope you enjoy it!

Happy holidays to everyone...

Happy Birthday, Huw!

I am a middle school teacher here in the U.S. Each day, I put the date and the day's assignments in the top right-hand corner of my whiteboard. Underneath that, I put the name of a famous musician whose birthday is on that particular day.

Imagine my surprise, then, to look at today's entry and find Huw Chadbourne's name! Happy birthday, Huw, from all of us in Babybirdland!

"Like Them"

So, what does everyone think of "Like Them"? I think it's a great tune and, after I ran it through a software program to try to undo the horrendous audio clipping and compression, I like it even more!

An Open Letter to Unison Music, from Ben Gott's Computer

Dear Unison Music,

Hello. I am an iMac. No, I don't mean that I'm the "Mac guy" on those silly television adverts. I am an actual iMac.

I belong to Ben Gott, a Babybird fan here in the United States, and, Unison Music, I kind of have a bone to pick with you. A few days ago, Ben received a Facebook message from his pal Andy. This message pointed him to a brand-new Babybird website and three brand-new songs.

Now, since he first heard Ugly Beautiful in 1996, Ben has collected… Continue
