Cars On Fire<\/a><\/p>\nA decent 7\u2033 single by English Subtitles, a West London band sounding a little like North London\u2019s Lack Of Knowledge., which is no bad thing\u2026<\/p>\n

English Subtitles released one single on Small Wonder Records \u201cTime Tunnel\u201d, then this single, a flexidisc<\/span> which came out on Crepuscule<\/span> and finally a compilation album which contained one side of their studio recordings, and a live set on the other side.
\nThis single is just WONDERFUL, a doomy<\/span> slice of malevolent goth-rock, full of foreboding and self-loathing; Karl Burns from The Fall plays drums on the track, but not many other details survive\u2026.<\/p>\n![\"\"](\"http:\/\/i192.photobucket.com\/albums\/z149\/pengy1966\/pengy1966%20stuff\/scan281.jpg\")

\u201cThey\u2019re calling my name, over the Tannoy<\/span>, they\u2019re paging me\u2026what do they want? What do they want?\u201d<\/p>\nHey, who knows. One thing is for sure, the singer, Roy Gordon wasn\u2019t just putting on this display of paranoia for show: he genuinely had some severe \u201cissues\u201d. The single comes with a facsimile of a\u00a0N.M.E. cutting, detailing an \u201cepisode\u201d he had whilst on a tube train \u2013 this culminated in\u00a0a radical act of\u00a0conceptual art as his friend Pete Davis\u00a0drove a six inch nail right through the palm of\u00a0Gordon\u2019s hand in front of horrified commuters, whilst\u00a0Gordon calmly collected the resultant flow of blood on a sheet of plastic. This pool of blood was used for the sleeve of the single (see above). Classy.<\/p>\n
