Ahoy!
Favourite Cable song? Hmmmm...
I think I'd have to say Ultra Violet - I love it! But Land Speed Record is a close second. But I also love Song 1! It's too hard to pick - they're all my favourites!
Favourite album? I couldn't possibly chose between When Animals Attack and Sub-lingual! Can I have both?!
Thanks,

This is a Tuff one I don't think I'll be able to make up my mind! The first Single I got was Whisper Firing Line on 7" blue record maybe God Gave me Gravity or Sale of the Century or Seventy or Hydra or New Set of Bruises (What a great name for a song) not sure, there all to good!!
My favourite Cable Cover was San Quentin off the Brixton EP. Killer drum fills in that one, Richie on Fire!!
Tuff questions

I think lots of songs had their individual moments, but for the sheer bloody minded, always finished with it, smashed your brains out with it live-ness, it has to be oubliette.
"concrete in your veins!"
and the best line in a cable song ever 'salt water reptile, dancing with a friend of mine'.

Cable were one of those rare bands who never wrote a bad song, they were all brilliant.

Its been seven years since I've heard any new recorded Cable. Eaven though some of these tracks are Demos and B-sides. They still sound fresh.
Tankyou for putting them on the site for everyone to hear!!

I always liked The Colder Climate, especially played live. Remember seeing them do this at the Point(?) in Oxford and during the quiet/breakdown bit Richie stood up and went outside for some air and came back and sat down at exactly the right time as the song begins to build up again. Genius!
Enjoying the new(ish) old very much as well. Ta very much for that.
Any chance of anything from the Radio 1 live stuff that they broadcast on John Peel's show? or session tracks if that's not too much too ask??
Cheers

Funny you should ask Tim, as some of you might have noticed we now have a audio section on the site. So far we have unreleased songs and a couple of rare vinyl b-sides but I have been offered the Peel sessions and some live stuff so as soon as I have it it?ll be posted for your listening pleasure.
I?m curious as to how long it is until people are deciphering the lyrics to the unreleased songs in the Lyrics forum, anyway enjoy them.

I was thinking the same thing earlyer.
Maybe Matt himself could shed some light on what some of the lyrics are.
what I can tell you is that I know for sure that Neil Copper is on 'Dead wood for Green' and some of the raw stuff (Lo-fi recordings) you have on there. Richie is on the rest.

Just to say thanks for putting up those rare Cable tracks, ive heard the b-sides but the rest i never knew existed, its quite refreshing to hear some Cable songs that ive never heard. Extra Limbs would have made a great album track with some more production! It sounds like an early one, some of the others sound like they were recorded around sublingual. Some early peel sessions would be great too!

I always thought that Vertigo would of made a great single and One For The Ladies stallion would of fitted really well on the Sub-Lingual album

1. Sports Cars and Devil Worship
2. Oubliette
3. Comprendez?
4. Deadwood For Green
5. Pocket Promise
6. Do The Tube
7. Souvenir
8. Choice
9. Apparently
10. The (We Did The Music For The Sprite Ad) Blues
Best overall album was 'When Animals Attack'. It's still on regular rotation after 9 years or so.
On 'Deadwood...'; "Take the backseat for a while" still sounds like "Take the badger for a walk". Fact.
