What tracks from the Birkenhead band should make the playlist?
After being criticised for always playing ‘Joy Division Oven Gloves’ on StereoUnderground, host Richard Latto has made the band featured artist this week. Known for their razor sharp, biting lyrics & post punk indie sound HMHB manage to mix humour & bleakness in equal measure.
I do believe that their lyrics to National Shite Day are simply brilliant:
“Fat kids with sausage rolls
Poor sods conducting polls
There's a man with a mullet going mad with a mallet in Millets”
Anyway, what tracks should make the cut?

Here’s the song titles tweet:
(For Context SU used to be on the BBC & was unceremoniously axed before it moved to Mixcloud)
It was NATIONAL SHITE DAY when #stereounderground was taken off air. The TRUMPTON RIOTS occurred on-line; folk were DEPRESSED BEYOND TABLETS!
Complaints to Points of View;
LETTERS SENT to some BOGUS OFFICIAL at the Beeb-written in crayon whilst wearing JOY DIVISION OVEN GLOVES.
Fast forward 2yrs- you can listen anytime-this show is perfect for 24 HOUR GARAGE PEOPLE.

What tracks from @david.gedge and Co should make the playlist on @mixcloud?
Remember what the late, great John Peel had to say about the band:
"The boy Gedge has written some of the best love songs of the 'Rock 'n' Roll' era.
You may dispute this, but I'm right and you're wrong!"
Here’s my song titles post this week:
@richardlatto was never a GO GO DANCER, even if he did host the Dance Dungeon show!
ANYONE CAN MAKE A MISTAKE he says-ONCE BITTEN…
That brief DALLIANCE aside, it’s been Indie all the way for old BLUE EYES.
COME PLAY WITH ME @mixcloud he says.
YOU SHOULD ALWAYS KEEP IN TOUCH WITH YOUR FRIENDS like YOU JANE or my mate KENNEDY!
I’m gonna stick out my BRASSNECK and get you to subscribe too, but NOBODY’S TWISTING YOUR ARM!
Don’t be a SUCKER,
#stereounderground IT’S A GAS!
What should I buy next?
I’m thinking the Sleepwalk 12” released for RSD 2020. It was never available on 12” when it was released as the debut single of the Midge Ure era of the band back in 1980.
What solo tracks from the former Velvet Underground front man should make the playlist?
Here’s the weekly song titles post:
We love @richardlatto
He’s not a SOUL MAN or a DISCO MYSTIC but someone with a ROCK AND ROLL HEART!
Most radio is boring.
I CAN’T STAND IT he said, we need to WALK ON THE WILD SIDE,take risks, play music that’s a bit more alternative, more VICIOUS!
(Not pop that’ll TRANQUILIZE your brain)
I’ve a CRAZY FEELING that #stereounderground might just work! I can WALK & TALK IT, we’ve got @mixcloud to broadcast it, so no need for a SATELLITE OF LOVE!
CITY LIGHTS here I come!
CAROLINE SAYS it’ll be a PERFECT DAY!
