Black Radio is a form of psychological operation or psy-op used in warfare etc. It is propoganda. In Vietnam the US military created fake Vietnamese radio stations to propagate disharmony and spread dissent.
The Just are Paul Beckett aka Scout on vocals. Max Weedon on guitar. Olly Whickham on guitar. James Dickson on bass. Bryn Austin Taylor on Drums and Raph Weedon on keys.
Get down and around- an unholy sound- I wanted this track to sound like a block of flats falling down to signal the end of Modernism and its realist and progressive attitudes. What is progress if it means killing the planet?
This whole damn celebration doesnt mean much to the rest is about a feeling that we in the West have big celebrations while we are at war and while famine goes on and while we kill the planet. Also chemical induced highs can mean alot to the user but very little to anyone else.
Still small voice is the conscience I guess. Holes in your hands is a German saying for 'who do u think you are? Jesus?'
A Nuclear/New Clear Day accross the sands is a triple pun on a stone roses song etc.
One man Banda is another pun on an African despot and myself as one man band- he's a salamander is from James Dicksons house and it rhymed.
Say what you mean- mean what you say. Please who you please I dont hear your pleas- another great pun.
Lyrics
Get down and around an unholy sound
you had your shot youre one horse mouth
time's a tool it's not a couch
he's no fool man he's no slouch
say what you mean- mean what you say
please who you please i dont hear your pleas
this whole damn celebration doesnt mean much to the rest
stay dead clean your pistol standing here well im taking bets
this whole drama
biscuit basket
message to the head
my eyes turn black i mix my own
dont turn back Black Radio
you protest too much and you walk too tall
face the facts, truth and the wall.
a new clear day accross the sands
still small voice holes in yr hands
say what you mean mean what you say
etc
