Broken Radio This rarely if ever made it into the live set but re-listening to it, it could have been quite fun. Especially the industrial noise bridge. #timstwitterlisteningparty @LISTENING_PARTY

Look What I Stole This turned into a monster tune when played live. Hugh’s fuzz bass is majestic. I’m pretty sure Grimmo’s solo was on the original take, too. Fabulous! #timstwitterlisteningparty @LISTENING_PARTY

Great memory from a gig at the Mean Fiddler. A group of lads had come down from Liverpool to see the show. ... #timstwitterlisteningparty @LISTENING_PARTY

They caught me in the bar afterwards and said to me that on Friday nights they often used to put on VDP, sit around, get drunk and play air-drums along with my bombastic fills in this song. I was secretly chuffed. #timstwitterlisteningparty @LISTENING_PARTY

White Knuckle Express Veers from ECM free improv to a crazy twisted big band groove on drums. It was a bit of a tour de force live. Certainly not pop music. #timstwitterlisteningparty @LISTENING_PARTY

Chemical Cosh We did an electronica version of this first but I think this band version sounds better. Concise at 1’39”. #timstwitterlisteningparty @LISTENING_PARTY

#timstwitterlisteningparty @LISTENING_PARTY Chemical Cosh: This was pre-ProTools so no cutting and pasting. The guitar and bass sound awesome played naturally.

#timstwitterlisteningparty @LISTENING_PARTY Pack of Lies on the Beeb: It was Nick Bagnall’s first appearance just after joining the band. He had to do the intro to the song, solo, on live TV. You can see his hands shaking!

Viva Dead Ponies You can see a live version here: youtu.be/K0cY02mgzOw . A stick flies out of my hand at one point but luckily I caught it on the way down. #timstwitterlisteningparty @LISTENING_PARTY
