Another one gone
I appreciate that this is probably old news to most people but I've just been saddened to find out that Do Me Bad Things are no more.
Without knowing anything about them, they used to annoy me because I would be scanning gig lists and see the Do M.. bit there and get all excited that it may be another show by Canadian band Do Make Say Think (you can see how similar the names are, it's an easy mistake to make when you're only skim reading). Then, we saw Do Me Bad Things at last year's Electric Picnic in Ireland and they were fantastic, really making me want to see them again.
And now I won't, ever again. At least I can be thankful that I saw them the once.
Admittedly, I'm not that surprised at them going their own separate ways as they seemed to be three different bands all rolled into one - it seemed inevitable that they wouldn't last forever.
I can't find anything on Google about Do Make Say Think that's less than a year old either. I guess there's a strong chance they have left us as well. Why do the good bands split and yet dross like Westlife stay around forever churning out their drab ballads for mothers?

i was excited about do me bad things but i just never really got them under my skin, though i tried.
i'm listening to stephen duffy's "i love my friends" a lot right now, it has just been re-released and it's great in a blur "parklife" kind of way.
mogwai, hmmm, multiply your negative feelings about pete doherty 10 fold and you might get close to understanding how i feel about stuart from mogwai. i'll never forget him making "blur are shite" t-shirts which is just hilarious as damon and graham both have more talent in their toenail clippings than his band has in all of their bodies. the guy just can't write songs and i get so sick of critics calling unstructured, atmospheric bollocks "art". i wouldn't go see them if they were doing a free show in my garden. in fact, i'd leave to escape the racket. in fact, i'd rather see the ordinary boys in concert.
okay, i've got it off my chest. i miss you. xo kb
