UK to get Evil Urges first?

[rob]

Read a couple online articles about the guys being signed to Rough Trade for the UK release of Evil Urges, and the release date given is June 2nd. Is the UK really getting the new album a week earlier than the U.S.???

[easy jim]

Strangely, I'm fine with the idea of an early UK release...  ;)

Which war are you referring to? If you're referring to WWII then you'll agree that it was the allied forces that 'won' the war: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Allies_of_World_War_II
Maybe you meant Vietnam?! Iraq?!! Pretty sure you lost the former & are losing the latter.

And way before you were born too buddy.  YOU won the war did you?  YOU didn't win sfa mate, a bunch of dead guys over 200 years ago did.  Most of the guys who fought for America where either British or Irish and practically first or second generation immigrants anyway.  But at the end of the day, so what?

You're really not up for the whole "good first impression" deal round these parts, eh?

Well presumably MY ancestors too 'biatch'.  In fact probably more of my ancestors than yours.  Like any of this actually MATTERS.

Should I be?  The original comment was surely not entirely serious (if it was I'd be worried) but this nonsense of WE and US when referring to events that took places hundreds of years ago is beyond silly.  WE did this, WE did that.  YOU did no such thing my friend so why claim them as your own or take pride in events you had nothing to do with (I'm not referring to you obviosuly but people in general).  I couldn't care less what my ancestors have done and take no pride in such things.  Why would I?  I don't take pride in the fact that my ancestors fought against Hitler or in the first World War, or the Boer War, or the Napoleanic Wars etc as this would be about as sensible as feeling shame because my great, great grandad raped somebody.  Nothing to do with me either way.  Similar to having pride in ones country despite the fact that you being born there had zero to do with you of course.  Nationalism is for silly people with sillier ideas.  In my opinion of course.  I'm with Bill Hicks on this issue - nationalism is retarded and adolescent and does way more harm than good.  It simply emphasises perceived differences that don't really exist.  It enables prejudice and bigotry.  It's bollocks basically.  I'm Scottish by the way.

What is "bollocks" is the fact that YES, I was joking around with the whole "we won the war" thing and that you even tried to respond with some rant about who "we" is.  Let's just leave it at that.

Well obviously you weren't being serious - I stated this in my post.  Apologies for the 'rant' but work is pissing me off something chronic at the mo and I needed to vent spleen anonymously on a message board.  I wasn't attacking you personally or responding to you I was merely attacking that school of thinking that, lets face it, is the norm.  It's just a pet peeve on mine that is all and your post hit a nerve at the wrong time.  Now if you'll excuse me I have to go to the toilets and wank furiously to release this anger and tension.  I may be gone some time....

[Nikkogino]

i obviously was joking....its okay though if you wanted to blow off some steam.

[MarkW]

Come on chaps, group hug.  ;)

Thanks CC - I'll be knocking on the door of my local record shop early in the morning on June 9th...

[mjkoehler]

Isn't this how most CD releases are? Isn't the "typical" UK release day Monday while ours is Tuesday? For some reason I have that in my head. I have no issue with the UK getting it a day early. It's 1 day, 24 hours. It's no freaking big deal.

[The DARK]

Yeah, but in this case it's a WEEK AND A DAY before.

If I ever start a band and make it big, I will make sure the good old US of A gets our releases first!  ;)
