He's too busy tweeting to come on here now I think.

Anyone remember the Auteurs?

Just reading Bad Vibes by their former frontman Luke Haines & despite listening to a lot of music around that time, I cant for the life of me, remember em. Anyone think they were any good?

Bruce Rioja · **Posted:** Fri Mar 30, 2012 9:00 pm

I do, Harry. they were one of a glut of decidedly average 90's guitar bands like Ned's Atomic Dustbin, Pop Will Eat Itself and Kingmaker.

Frank Turner, the poster boy for the agitated middle classes.

The Auteurs had one really good song; buggered if I can remember the title. Used to have it, and will now look it up. Will report back if any progress.

It's true though.

I remember seeing him play an open-mic night in Archway in front of about 20 people. Wasn't anyone's poster boy then, and he hasn't changed. In fact, if you see the video for I Knew Prufrock, you'll see yours truly (he knew me you see

, well, kind of), but enough name dropping, that's for the famous thread!

Seeing him headlining Wembley on the 18th, supported by Billy Bragg. Was going to do some sort of mini festival dual stage thing but sold too many tickets now and had to open it all up. Those bloody agitated middle classes!

What in particular you been listening to, squire?

Is that tuneless, living-pinching, quasi socialist c*nt still alive?

"I was a miner...." No you weren't, you prick. My grandfather was a miner, he didn't get to live in a place like this

I kind-of like him, but it's tainted by the fact that the person I consider to be the biggest tw*t in the entire world has Turner as his favourite, so by association I don't like him.

I don't think Billy Bragg is a quasi-socialist. And infinitely preferable to his uncle.

He's a for real socialist.

Don't care for his voice myself, do like his opinions, wouldn't mind an invite to his house...

So, Bruce, was your grandfather a socialist and trade unionist? Where did you go wrong?

No - he fell out / was disowned by his family over his politics. Will tell you over that pint, Fella. He was my hero.

Ah Bill, there you go again. If people don't do as you thenn they've 'gone wrong'.

I've told you, you'll vote Tory if you just free up your mind.

Stick with us, we'll set you free.

btw .... Billy Bragg !! Really ???

yet even Billy Bragg was taken in by Cleggmania... (though I think he has now seen the error of his ways..)

have spent much of the afternoon performing a selection of Easter music solos and duets - including quite a few of Sydney Carter's timeless (lesser-known) folk-settings.. I discovered today that he used to write for Donald Swann...

pacifist and liberal theologian - he was ahead of his day...
