Thread (John Peel Session November 1994) by Urusei Yatsura band published on 2016-08-10T17:04:28Z Here's a very rare tune from our first ever Peel session, recorded in Cava Studios, Glasgow by the lovely Stewart Cruikshank. We couldn't make it down to Maida Vale at this point because we were poor unfortunates with no money, success or amplifiers to call our own. Plus ca change. This is a bit of a weird one, a song written by me (Graham) but sung by Fergus. Something we only did one other time. (Sucker, on the Kewpies EP) I couldn't sing this cos the key was all wrong and we couldn't afford a capo or something like that. I really like Fergus' guitar on this but still cringe at some of the lyrics. I was really into the Go Betweens (a major influence in making me think dual vocalists would be a fun thing to pursue.) and some of the words sound like something someone who isn't as smart as he thinks he is would write. If he thought he was Robert Forster. Anyway, Fergus is far nearer to Robert Forster than me and he did a good job with what I gave him. We never released this song on anything and it has languished on an unloved cassette in a cupboard till now. One day I had the idea that Fergus should sing all our songs and I would just play guitar, but then we started getting ultra competitive and that idea got shelved. Enjoy! GK Genre Alternative Rock
