Fantastic track. Reminds me of "Bad".

[Mr Splodge]

Just started to listen to them, looks like I missed a gem.

Hopefully will be able to catch them live soon. .

Denim jacket man.

That's my super hero name.

[TheNewUnion]

Watched them last night here at Pukkelpop, absolutely superb.

i recall that you and Nal were mentioning something that sounded like "Bad" on here just b4 Glasto, and i was baffled, but you're right in that the the live version of Come to the City does have a resemblance. pretty distinct from the album version though, hence my bafflement initially on the link to 'Bad'. both sound great, mind you.

Another UK tour? Nice

Got a ticket for the Glasgow gig in November and will probably end up going to Edinburgh too.

Loving this song just now from the first album, still need to pick it up on vinyl.

[JayBalls]

I'm off to Bristol to see them in November

sounds like a mix between coldplay and u2, which should surely be berated on here, but its the NME flavour of the month, so let it pass.

Sounds absolutely nothing like Coldplay.

[CHRLY]

Love that song! I'll defo be going to the manchester show as I've missed them twice already on Lost in the Dream.

[CaledonianGonzo]

That's the NME for you, though. Always giving U2 - and bands who sound like them - the benefit of the doubt. So in awe of Bono that they're incapable of anything but lauding him to the high heavens.

good lord that article lead me to another article which contained this snippet:

And then back in 2005 a story broke on Popbitch that Cave had been spotted with his child at a pantomime starring X Factor quarterfinalist Chico (who had his 15 minutes in the mid noughties). Cave was apparently seen holding up a foam hand and mouthing the words ‘It’s Chico Time!’ along with everyone else in the theatre.

ffs!

Your heroes always let you down eventually....

Yeah, it sounds sad, and people on here want to be cool so always jump on the cool bandwagon, but they also like NME which is SAD, and NME thinks its cool, so all you losers pretend you actually like it.

Dan. Shut the fuck up.

[bocumaroy]

Finally listened to Lost in the Dream. It’s a bit good. The Springsteen/Dylan etc influences are obvious, but I really like the chilled out New Order vibes that pop up every now and again, which I hadn’t seen mentioned, so it came as a nice surprise.

This was what got me round to finally listening to them, at a time when I really needed to read something just like this. http://pitchfork.com/features/articles/9509-the-war-on-drugs-inside-man/
