Pale Saints – "Some New Songs By Pale Saints" (Self-Released) 1988


Some 35 year old songs by Pale saints,who were 3 pale young boys (+ later pale young lady addition) from Leeds in Yorkshire, which is,basically, the UK's version of Australia,overflowing with undiluted toxic masculinity,prison tattoo's, and fat footy hooligans;but not too many mullets in evidence as the hairstyle of choice is the number two, in non-toilet terms. These increasingly common,cow bellied throwbacks can be seen on away matchdays, unleashing minor tributary's of dark yellow piss, like objectionable ambassadors from the home of the missing link,stumbling through the streets of their rival conurbation, whilst lobbing stale and partly chewed pukka pies in the general direction of the repulsed local woke tribe of new men.
Only Millwall fans have unleashed my inner snob more quickly.
Therefore,one must applaud the often overlooked pasty faced Twee/Shoegaze combo Pale Saints,for existing in such an environment.They seemed sensitive types,and sang in a girly way that would have yer average Yorkshire-man demanding that they make him a meal immediately,with gravy that you could stand yer bloody spoon up in.
Naturally, 4AD snapped these delicate chaps up within three seconds of the first track of this demo,and the rest is history....especially the bit where The Pale Saints are nothing less than forgotten in the annals of Twee indie Shoegaze music;but at least it got them away from Leeds United Football fans eh?

Tracklist:

1.Wasting My Time 2:16
2.Children Break 2:46
3.The Way The World Is 2:04
4.Sea Of Sound 5:15

Toxic masculinity? Bullshit, there's no such thing, except in a spook's handbook. One thing that spooks love is to split the sexes, depopulation is a thing, vaccines kill not cure or make impotent. Men being men is normal, like climate change, these things are absoultely normal, to be otherwise is to be perverted, unanatural and abnormal, just the shitty elite who own everything and who have turned everything upside in their evil, mammon worshipping fascism. We have Tory bastards enacting Marxist policies, censoring people's views, thoughts, speech, whilst flooding the country with turd world rats/cowards.
the only people who are toxic are the faggot elite who have destroyed freedom of speech in this country, shat on any crediable programmes with their no stereotypes policy for tv/film funding so next we'll have Lenny Henry playing Churchill and no-one will raise an eyelid.
Inclusion - letting talentless no-marks get the best jobs.

Sorry,i couldn't be arsed to read all your comment; regurgitated for the thousandth time from the shallow end of the dark web,but.....
you've obviously never been to Yorkshire.

I'm all for Daniel Craig playing Shaft..."The white private dick who's a sex machine for all the Chicks"

The Faggot Elite?LOL.....you'll get me cancelled with that kinda talk.

Richie Muster said...

Thanks, Sandi. Reading your deranged rants makes a dull Sunday brighter. You really are funny.

rev.b said...

I couldn't be bothered to read the 1st line or two either. Ignorance of things like that truly is bliss. I got yer toxic masculinity right here sandi baby. You got a pretty mouth....

Leeds is much worse than that Jonny. I had the misfortune of living there for a while in the social circle of anarcho-syndicalists ruled over, like a commie Marie Antoinette, by Chumbawumba's Alice Nutter and her groupie nepo-boyfriend. One afternooon I was dragged to see a band called Dog on a Rope perform in a gymnasium where we all sat on 3-sides on the beachers and after each short,brutal & nasty song (a good one calle Myrthyr Tydfil) everyone looked right to assess the party line before politely applauding. No one danced or stood up, and it just ended and everyone left. Like a squat-punk opera.

Jonny Zchivago said...

Of course the Anarcho-punk middle class revolutionary axis regrettably still casts a long shadow in many places across the developed world,and Leeds is no exception.....you have my severe condolences. The authorities must act by freezing their assets and sequestrating their trust funds. They'll be accepting that job in the city at daddies firm within the week. Bin bags of washed out black clothing will suddenly appear at the charity shops for delousing and resale as recycled cloth for decerning boho hobbyist and upcycler.
I can see that squat punk opera in the west end soon, a charming karaoke nostalgia fest for that "faggot elite" that Sandi Hook go's on about with such unbridled lust.

Pale Saints used to be quite the common sight around Leeds back in the day... best local band at the time was Bush Pilot. Was like seeing CAN circa 1968.

Oh No How Offal ! I hope I haven't restarted the Steak and Kidney Pie wars of the 1970's, all part of the best served cold war fought exclusively in leeds, and Bradford ,east and west of the Leeds are 1-0 up lets park the bus defensive wall, last breeched by Stoke City in 1974. Barnsley council had to blow the bridge on the M1 to save us all.

And called Sandi Hook, to boot 😂 this is some sort of conspiracy theory elemental, accidentally summoned from the dark web/Russian troll farm :P

Jonny Zchivago said...

I think you've hit the nail on the head Rabid. Sandi is blatantly a Russian Troll, espousing Kremlin policies on wife beating, gay bashing, being a dangerous macho bonehead and clearly supressing his own latent homosexuality in the classic way. Either that or yet just another 'Useful Idiot'

ppp said...

Thx a lot. They sounds very close to Sarah Records on that one.

rev.b said...

Flowers do grow in manure, don’t they. These pearly whites are a fine example. This is one occasion when ignorance isn’t so blissful. I didn’t know about these daisies. I imagine their later stuff’s over-polished, but I think these four tracks are pretty swell. AND I get to pummel the S hooks of bot-land with rotting verbal produce. What’s not to love. Sorry to hear Leeds is what it is. We have several of those over here. Wadda stink.

RabidRabbit said...

Unfortunately, these people/bots are still out in force 😪

Jonny Zchivago said...

PPP...yep Sarah Records is where we're going.

Jonny Zchivago said...

Rev.b.....I think I've been rather harsh on Leeds in the name of entertainment,they were a very fertile city for a number jolly fine popular music groups of the 80's and beyond...Mekons Gang of Four Delta 5 Sisters of Mercy,Soft Cell etc....all students rather than locals but you get what i'm a getting at......not to mention where Jimmy Savile used to run a disco!

Vaykorus said...

THANKS!!

Jimmy Saville is one of our own
