both amazing songs, but which is BETTER?

i say AU, on the strength of the "they! say!" bridge.

Ulster, easily.

"Suspect Device".

"Alternative Ulster" -- love the guitars.

Alternative Ulster is much more my style,
but last night I saw Ted Leo and when he played his cover of Suspect Device.. i really couldn't have it any other way

Between those two, "Suspect Device" will ALWAYS win, but "Wasted Life" shits on them both.

I can't choose, both (and "Wasted Life") are great.

Apparently they're touring the US in August - http://www.slf.com/live.htm

And just released a new album on Kung Fu?!

"Suspect Device" innit. Because, erm, allusions to incendiary devices ROCK!

Yeah, new album titled 'Guitar And Drum' came out last year--on import if you lived in the USA like me. Now Kung Fu is reissuing it here this month. They played some stuff off it on tour last year and it was good. Their label's site let's you download the title track--which, IMHO, is amazing--

Agreed thrice over. A truly desperate record.
