Achtung Bono - Half Man Half Biscuit

Achtung Bono, the latest release from Half Man Half Biscuit , (HMHB), was released in September last year and dedicated to the memory of John Peel, who regularly championed the band and once said that when he died he d like to be buried with them. I probably wouldn t be thanked for saying this,or so a newspaper interview with Nigel Blackwell, HMHB s frontman would suggest; "He, (John Peel), never had favourite songs or favourite albums or bands particularly (yes, if pushed he would say that Teenage Kicks was perfect - he was correct of course) and he would wince when asked, for instance, to name his Top Ten of anything - he got enthusiastic about a record at ...

Back In The D.H.S.S. - Half Man Half Biscuit

was all my Dad would listen to and it filtered down to me, and I love it now just as much as he did then. This CD is not only Half Man Half Biscuit s first proper album, but it also includes their debut EP. Ok then, so it sounds like it was recorded in a dustbin and they may not be the finest musicians in the world, but that is part of the band s appeal.

All based on pop culture, the monotony of everyday life, TV, childhood memories and keen observations. Although this album is EXTREMELY funny, it s not one of those joke records, where once ...

The title refers to a ditty by that slightly more well known Liverpool band The Beatles. For the information of readers under the age of thirty and those who have never hit hard times, the DHSS used to be the place to go and sign on the dole, (now known as jobseekers allowance), which has gone through a few attempted image revamps and name changes since then. Unlike the first release which was on vinyl and cassette, the CD contains tracks from the Trumpton Riots 7" and E.P. and the Dickie ...
