    So, this is the new Unlucky Fried Kitten album entitled RAGE AGAINST FLORENCE + THE MACHINE.  Here's how to get it. You can go to my PayPal button at the start of this blog (an earlier post) and just pay £5.00 which will include post and packing. Or I can just give you my e-mail for my PayPal and do it that way.  £5.00 is not a great deal of money (see my list below for things you can get for £5.00) For anyone purchasing in the Maidstone and Medway area it'll just be free delivery by hand, put through your letterbox. Instead of post and packaging it will be petrol and packaging. You get me? 

    Just look at it like I am playing Santa, but with a CD, and instead of a sleigh I am careering around Kent in a Sierra Azura. If you haven't got PayPal just pay me a fiver when I deliver

    Things You Can Buy For £5.00

    • 1.25 pints of premium lager
    • 5 x Twin-Pack Mars Bar Duo Bar (85g)
    • 1.89% of a 15w energy bulb
    • A signed copy of Katie Price's new autobiography
    • A hamster wheel
    • I'm bored now

      As an added incentive to make you buy this ground-breaking concept album (the concept being that I made it and you buy it) evey purchaser...yes...EACH & EVERY PURCHASER will be featured in a song on the NEXT album. How big your mention is depends on how many albums I sell. If I sell 50 to 60 copies, as estimated, you'll probably get an entire line in the song. If I sell about 5 copies you'll more than likely get your own verse. I've sold ONE copy so far, so, as it stands, that purchaser, if I sell no more, will have a whole song about him. (though my Mum did say she's gonna buy a copy)

      All buyers get listed on this blog too, with some wacky line written for them. You know, something like, if I was the buyer it might be something like 'Andy Fraser...the atomic Laser' and if, say, Jeremy Kyle buys one, it might be 'Jeremy Kyle...play the album and smile'  You got me?

      That's about it really except for a few tech notes about the album. 

      • all music by myself
      • all lyrics by myself
      • music recorded at Strangeways
      • Live vocal done at The Hub, (which is Ben Copland's studio...him behind fab electronica band Mooli)
      • Oh yeah, forgot to say, vocal was recorded in one live take cos I wanted it to come across as I would do it live. That's why the tracks all run into one cos I wanted it to be like a live show where my songs are usually met with, not wild applause but usually, a deafening wall of bewilderment and silence. 
      • my photos but art/covers arranged by Graham Semark
      • CD duplificated , duplified, duplimacated , copied at Cyclone in Medway City Estate


        I'll be making one more album which I'm half way through writing and it will be available in a few months. Then that's it. Not even gonna write any more songs. Getting rid of all my gear and buying my own little log-cabin. Throwing all my songbooks away, maybe into the river, from a bridge, to be like David Essex throwing his school-books away in Stardust. Or was it in That'll Be The Day?


        That's it then, fab people. I don't think I've missed anything. I'll be ruthlessly honest now...if I can sell 100 copies of this album I'll be a happy bunny
        Probberly a French Angora
        No, let's make it a German Dwarf Lop...they are so cute

        I always spell probably like that...for comic effect

        I hope the PayPal button works...let me know if there are any difficulties. 
        Don't forget that you can revisit this blog at any time to laugh at the low amount of CD's I've sold...3 or 4 lonely little names with their own wacky little one-liners. Sad...but with an air of ironic juvenile elitism

        Oh, and I might add the lyrics to this blog...if anyone can be bothered to request it

        Cheers
        See ya

      • Oh...one more thing...don't forget that the 'UNLUCKY FRIED KITTEN PRESENT LOSERVILLE.COM' album is still available for the same remarkable price of £5.00 including postage and whatsnaming

             


        Here's a wonderful review from Lawrence Burton who lives in Texas. We met in the 80's as he explains in the review. I love the review, not just because it flatters my little creation, but also for it's majestic writing style

    Forever friend of thee and thine xx

    Number one is Guns 'n' Roses
    Wicked choice there, one supposes
    Nirvana sits in second spot
    He worships Kurt Cobain a lot
    Metallica at number three
    Great band, bit heavy though, for me
    Number four we have Pearl Jam
    Eddie Vedder his sacred lamb
    At number five we sit there proud
    Unlucky Fried Kitten, play it LOUD
    (cheers Deano, proud to be the only Brit band in your top 5) x

    ReplyDelete
  71. Ben Copland has a copy
    I hope he plays it wildly
    He did mix all the vocals
    So it's valid, to put it mildly

    ReplyDelete
  72. Sue Morbi is a fan of the Star Wars kinda thing
    I'm sure that kind of happiness Unlucky Fried Kitten cannot bring
    But if she plays it once or twice she might just see a new dimension
    May the 4th be with you dear, purchased today, did I not mention?

    ReplyDelete
  73. Sarah Sarah Sarah Hodge, delivered an album to your lodge
    On the maddening side of town

    UFK is an elitist club
    See ya soon mate, in the pub

    I'm happy to be there upon his shelf
    Happy days, good luck, good health

  90. Nicky, in Lashings, bought a copy as well
    I don't know if Nicky is a boy or a girl
    I found Nicky's messages wrote in my journal
    He/She now has my album , that's pretty eternal
    There's also a phone number saying I should ring
    Maybe he/she wants to write or to sing
    Whatever, I won't make that calle, you see
    There's a good chance that 'Nicky' was drunker than me

  95. Sue Coxon, hi, thanks for the leap of faith
    I hope you keep that album safe
    It's really nice of you to buy
    I guess you thought it was worth a try
    If you don't like my little songs
    It doesn't mean the world's gone wrong
    I'm sure you'll find another way
    To use it, can I suggest an ashtray
    Or a frisbee, some earrings, a coaster or mat
    Or maybe a vanity mirror for a cat
    You could buy some materials to make a clock
    Minute hand second hand, battery, tick tock
    Make some cool glasses, (buy another one first)
    A bit like Lennon's but in reverse
    Melt it burn it sell it whatever
    I hope this album will last forever
    At the end of the day, when the sky is black
    I will guarantee your money back

  99. Matt Evans, forgot to add him to the blog
    I blame it on workloads and heavy slog
    But here is his poem for buying my disc
    He paid his money and he took the risk
    I hope it has made him content with my ware
    Or perhaps he is lain in a gutter somewhere
    Destroyed through the torture of my harrowing vocal
    I might not be great...but at least I am local

  101. Clairey thanks for your recent buy
    I hope you enjoy the work of this guy
    Sometimes dark and sometimes funny
    Possibly a waste of money
    But nothing ventured, nothing gained
    and things that work are sometimes pained
    If you don't like the songs and that
    just use the disc as a cool beer-mat
