Really enjoying "Pistol", fond memories of when The Long Blondes started and we used to get criticised in the local scene for being out of tune. We must said "WE'RE NOT INTO MUSIC, WE'RE INTO CHAOS" in every early interview. Some of you mugs needed a dramatisation to get it. Haha

Ha. It was the session where my amp blew up halfway through the song. For years I've worried it would be embarrassing. It actually just makes Giddy Stratospheres sound even more Post Punk halfway through. I remember Janice Long telling me not to worry as "it sounded bloody great"
