onfire has left the building.....

...temporarily. It's a big world out there and onfire is tying on the hiking boots and off to explore some of it. Well, as much of it as one can in 13 or so months of travelling. The sole purpose of this post then is to say thanks to those who've read anything on here in the last 12 months and even to those who came on here hoping to find links to Mediafire or Rapidshare downloads of the latest Half Man Half Biscuit album. It's unlikely then that anything will be posted here until August 2011 unless, say, Galaxie 500 announce that they're reforming. I've set up the obligatory travel blog thingie so if you're procrastinating at work and you've just added your 597th friend to your Facebook profile, then come see. Thanks for listening.

Holy Fuck

Ah, bands who use profanities in their band names. Always been wary of them. Skewed logic along the lines of 'Well if they need to be that deliberately provocative, then the music's probably lacking something.' Which is bullshit of course. Fuck Buttons for one, and now Holy Fuck are deserving of side-stepping the puerile names. There is definite substance here. I've only recently given Holy Fuck a listen and new album Latin is a gem. Think of them as an organic Battles. I can think of no higher praise.
