SONGS UNDER TWO MINUTES (4): ALEHOUSE FUTSAL

Half Man Half Biscuit take their time when it comes to writing, recording and releasing new albums.  Just the eight since the calendar flipped over into the 21st century.

It was always intriguing to slip the new release into the CD player to find out if it’s going to live up to expectations.   Inevitably, it did.

Then, in 2018, I bought the new HMHB album on vinyl for the first time in more than 30 years.  This time, I let the needle settle into the groove and grinned as the first song blared out through the speakers.

From the magnificently named No-One Cares About Your Creative Hub So Get Your Fuckin’ Hedge Cut.  

If you type Alehouse Futsal into Google, it suggests  a link to Adam‘s place – Bagging Area – and a post from 2018 when he mentions the release of the new album.  His description is perfect:-

It’s business as usual lyrically, that is, moments of laugh out loud genius punctuated with insight and references to popular culture and history…

There’s every possibility that HMHB will crop up again (and again!) during this series, given how many of their tunes clock in under the two-minute mark.
