Whatever happened to The The?

[PuppyMonkey]

I used to love him... Matt Somebody or other?

Soul Mining and Infected - brill albums.

Never hear anything from him now

It's just matt johnson. as far as I know he is still going. Never were very mainstream though, with the exception of Infected

Have to say I am a way past the 6th form politics of it all now. Him in that link holding up a poster 'we are the 51st state of the usa' - is hardly insightful or even polemic.

I find the idea of still having the same level of political apreciation that you did 21 years ago a bit worrying actually. But it was a good song.

Smile is a great song.

Takes himself a bit seriously though.

Uncertain Smile, even

Thank you all. Yes, loved all those songs, pretentious or not! I'm always singing This is the Day...

Altogether now...

You pull back the curtains
and the sun burns into your eyes
You watch a plane flying across a clear blue sky...

I loved Soul Mining. I stil have the Infected 'bone crusher mix' somewhere too.

Mind bomb was however a - um - bomb!

and I think he did a covers ablum of Wille Nelson songs, or someone like that...

Ooh yes, Mindbomb was appalling...

Look at us a pair of Monkeys talking to eachother!

Hank Williams I believe, Ms Simiantroosers.

I like their song "This is the Day".

Used to love listening to Infected. Hmm... forgotten about them.

But to everyone listening PM, we just sound like 'oh oh oh' Higher species indeed!

This is the day is off Soul Mining UQD, if yer didn't know that already.

Yes you are right DaDaDA. (have you changed your name again?)

I googled and the last thing I could find is he was living in Sweden - but that was a couple of years back. What a mystery to just disappear from the music business altogether...

Oh dear I love Mind Bomb. And Infected and Soul Mining. I saw them/him tour Mind Bomb and it was great.

dp used to know him. went through a phase of loving thethe

Yes Stella me too.

Ah, Soul Mining was one of my favourite albums when I was younger

and I always loved 'heartland', though of course, that was 6th form era...

can still sing it all the way through
