"Blimey Charlie!" my brother in rock Malcolm said to me as I brought him the news that within 24 hours the title track from our new E.P. had been played on BBC Radio 1 and had a review in The List. ‘Punch in the Face’ is taken from The Thin Man E.P - Vacuum Spasm Babies four track release from our friends at Shark Batter Records, home of The Stark Palace, The Stone Ghost Collective and Mike and Michi amongst others.
So that means that Vacuum Spasm Babies have been played on the radio, and had a mention in the press. Even if nothing else happens, I’m happy with that. The Radio 1 play came from Vic Galloway on his show he does from Scotland. I’ve known Vic a while, he was a plugger for Human Condition records in Edinburgh and in a band called Huckleberry, so I played his records when I did a new music show for Radio Borders. We’re telling people South of the border that The List is the equivalent of Time Out for Glasgow and Edinburgh.
We’ve made a video for this single release. Although, it’s probably going to take some sort of prize for being the cheapest, shortest and fastest put together video on youtube this week. The song is only just over a minute anyway, and the video is made of stills of scribbles done in an afternoon, photographed, loaded into some kind of free movie software and made to fit around the song.
This week I’m reading The Fall and Rise of Reginald Perrin, watching the Spaced box set, drinking cinzano on ice and staying clear of the new Coldplay single.
