Future Of The Left 'Manchasm'

[Shelbsterina]

Goddamn this song is so fucking epic.

[Nationstatesuser]

Gang of Four rip-off.

[grendelsbeard]

i love how this turned in to a song about a cat about half way through it...good stuff.

[Madkid73]

Is this the greatest tune ever?



[linwest7]

Mark Foley is a producer in Cardiff. He's at every gig they do there. Which is always amusing. 'Is that Foley?' 'Yeah' 'Get close to him for Manchasm, it'll be like they're singing it to us.'

[meeebit]

So uh, am I the only one that noticed that... that... the video looks like a huge display of primary colors?

[newblokes]

Such a catchy tune! I'm the ticket guy at 1:47 whoop!!

[dehamburg]

Imagine singing,audience please,every minute matters....at a gig!

Great lyric it be!

[morrisdracula]

who would have thought it!?!?- Mark Foley was right...

[darkrealm666]

Colin is a pussy. Man up.

[fiveeds9]

BAD ASS

[jamesgp2viper]

24 pussies called Colin listened to this song

[crazycracka1980]

These boys put on the best show I have EVER seen. Its been over a year since they were here and Im still thinking about what a great night it was. They lit the room on fire...not literally, but it was amazing. Gentlemen, please come to Minneapolis again.

[brendanbebop]

KELSSSSONNNNNNNN

[PlebScrubber]

I just saw this band live about 20 mins ago, THEY ROCK!

Shame the lead singer got raped in the mosh pit at the very end and never came back...

They had some chick playing with them on bass guitar?

[Steve11384]

@PlebScrubber Julia Ruzicka this is her name, shes an aussie too. I saw them at the annandale, fucking awesome show.

[PlebScrubber]

I just saw this band live about 20 mins ago, THEY ROCK!

Shame the lead singer got raped in the mosh pit at the very end and never came back...

[didactyl]

wait are they ripping on 'smack my bitch up?' Or is the visual similarities and pussy references just coincidences?

[Jefflebowski95]

i LOVE this video. i cant put my finger on what's so good about it, it just suits the song perfectly

[taksravenlive]

I don't have the faintest idea of what the song is about but thats the beauty of Mclusky (Sorry Future of the Left), it doesn't matter 'cause its just a rocking song.....

[lightningrodrun]

Who is Mark Foley?The disgraced US politician??? The Hurler from Limerick???? And don't get me start about Rick....and am I missing the point by asking...

[johnnyquint]

@lightningrodrun The Mark Foley referred to in this song was their tour manager or someone like that, lyrics are basically nonsense, I think, but it sounds good anyway

[doomsday1216]

@johnnyquint are you sure it wasnt the mark foley who resigned from the house of representatives after that scandal? That seems more likely...

[SovietJedi8000]

@doomsday1216 Well, they're not an American band so it's somewhat unlikely that they'd know about that Mark Foley without being very interested in US politics.

[the69mainstreet]

@doomsday1216 People tend to under-politicize this band. They're talking about both. It should be obvious. The producer is being juxtaposed against the politician.

[FabioSooner]

Best song ever. Best video ever. Best feline video performance ever.

[TheRacistsMustDie]

That's some funky vibes inspiring pussycat.

[pwnrofldairyqueenbbq]

I think the video represents a mid-life crisis, a man still trying to find his place or calling.

[M1ndGraffiti]

Ozzy joined a techno band??

[madcow312]

i guess i'm a pussy

[shuaigejamesisrock]

do an asian tour, play taipei please

[shuaigejamesisrock]

do an asian tour, play taipei please

[MrLorenzotebano]

who is mark foley futre of the left?

[My6thAccount]

@MrLorenzotebano He owns a record studio, or something.

[dcs000001]

This is awesome, has been on loop in my head for 2 days now.

Audience please!

[touretteEd]

we should all wear shirts that say "colin's a pussy".

[Snewtron]

If anyone has the FOTL tracks "stick to what you slip","preoccupation therapy","March of the coupon saints" and is willing to upload them . i'd appreciate it very much.

Been looking on the net and have had no luck in finding them......

[leakeg]

I prefer the short haired Falco look, no homo.

[geordie212]

what the hell is this shit?

[zackspoz]

@geordie212 What the hell is up with the place that you come from? Geordie, why eye man!

[ivangrozny27]

[NonCommente]

@Ralph85 Wow, 2:44. That's awesome! Thanks for pointing that out.

[epa9975]

"Colin is a very pretty pussy cat" - a non sequitur line sung on a round. He used the same trick with "our old singer is a sex criminal" on "She Will Only Bring You Happiness".

[1q2w3e2w3e4r]

yawn

[eelabob]

this has to be the best bass tone like EVER

[chinoETS]

Yeah, the bass from 2:05 on is badass.

[1penuti1]

[Jaroon88]

[SuperMario16bit]

These guys are great, first time listening to them.

[carpypark]

reverend and the makers suck balls

[JC17568256]

@carpypark

Its hard to say someone has a punchable face...

[babalusci]

[aristospodkokotkulos]

GREAT!!!! SIMPLY GREAT!

[dralvinft]

Why did I barely find out about now???

[rhodkemp1]

[bwibbwz]

The bass in this song make me listen to it over and over and be slightly aroused.

[josch85]

ALL HE EVER WANTED WAS A DETONATOR

And really, is that too much to ask for?

[bigredviolent]

[CantolaoTV]

[Setharian]

Oh yay, another band where no one can sing.

[AdamskiFTW]

well it's more shouting with FOTL. upload a video, i'd love to hear your singing mate

[ShouldIBeDamned]

your so right... we definitely need more bands where everyone can sing perfectly, the lyrics are unimaginative and more thought goes into the band members haircuts than the song... fuck off and listen to the radio. dick!

[technoir7]

very very well done. the auto pov cam mazing!

[svantearrhenius1]

I FUCKIN CAME ALL OVER THE PLACE! .....had a long time to listen to so cool stuff \m/

[fluentchaos]

Finally! Something fucking original!

[jonwenn]

These guys are awesome!, The new album is a must!!!

[jenzagall12345]

[RainFerret]

At the Faversham? I was there, and it was great!

[burnsie999]

Cardiff!

[DrFoxtopus]

Wicked tune good vid.

Top dollar!

[hermestrismegisto]

Could someone explain me the lyrics, please? I love that song but I don't understand anything: who is this Folley... and what 's the link with the cat? thanks!

(a french)

[Garthock]

FOTL songs either don't really have meaning, or they just make their lyrics extremely cryptic. The first one is most likely.

Mark Foley was an american politician who got in trouble for sending emails to little children. I don't know the specifics. Wiki it.

The cat part is just about a cat. Not much else to say.

Fucking awesome tune though. This band is becoming one of my favorites. They just released a new album.

[chinoETS]

@Garthock Wrong Mark Foley, bro. The one they're referring to is the owner of a studio in Cardiff... I think.

[nofxmaar]

awesome

[daysaved]

I saw these guys in Birmingham Alabama and they were fucking awesome. They rousted the crowd and made me laugh their entire set.

[stephencurran80]

dublin gig is 17th May

[zenmanjoe]

that's a stunt cat...

[metrolica1]

good good

[ReactionForce]

good song, good video

[TSNDenmark]

Good tune

[sugarkang]

best song on the album.

[Snewtron]

this is such a good song

[Twidleythegnome]

Ghostiet is a very pretty pussy, lulz =]

(Sorry, had to, no harm intended Ghostiet.)

I like that bit, if there wasn't it the song would ruined be!

Yay for bad grammar because not sleep week whole?

='[

[1UltraBastardo]

What does MANCHASM mean?

Please dont reply with stupid answers

EG

A guy from Manchester whos ass is bigger than his mouth (As per init)

[kororinpa]

lol 3:57 thanks written in tape on the back of the bass

[AreYouIrrelevant]

saw theese live the other week

bloody brilliant !

[PhantomBoatParty]

Just when you think they couldn't be any more badass, they throw in a vocal harmony.

[thefredf]

Woah, awesomeness!!!!!

I'm liking this to my freinds now.

[Snewtron]

does anyone know how the keyboard goes (tab or sheet music) i want to learn to play it.

i already know the bass

[Ghostiet]

I'd say the Colin part is musically unnecessary. I don't care about the lyrics, yet it ruins the songs' feeling IMO.

[Garthock]

I disagree. Colin's a pussy.

[BPCSlave]

A very pretty pussy, at that.

[GRNoam]

anyone else feel the lyrics to this song is a band inside-joke that we'll never understand? haha

[indextwo]

There is nothing more necessary than the featuring of a cat in both audio and video.

In fact, although Holst composed The Planets 16 years before Pluto was discovered, he added another, rarely-played movement called 'Pickles' and was dedicated to his favourite tabby cat.

FACT.

[Ghostiet]

I feel the Colin part is unnecessary. :S

[emsixteen87]

but then we couldn't say it about people called Colin..

[SchizoTranquility]

What a Great band!

[Kai14]

yeah pretty much one of the best shows I have seen in awhile(I was there last night also.) Damn he got crazy the bar, then push ups. And he was really nice, he took a picture with a friend of mine before we left.

[AlkalineTrio15]

i saw them yesterday. they opened for against me!

[EtaGrayIzardWay]

I was there too! I was way up in front and the bassist fell into me when he was down in the crowd.

[EtaGrayIzardWay]

I was there too. I was way up in the front and the bassist fell into me while he was down in the crowd.

[AlkalineTrio15]

[techgod07]

[xTheOxx]

[mwill96]

What can i say... born out of the equally great McLusky and just out-there brilliant.

Quirky and not for the faint hearted. Like the Pixies. And they were rather f..ing good too. Viva FOTL!! Viva.

[danvids21]

[Cyclomethicone99]

All he ever wanted was a detonator Colin is a pussy, a very pretty pussy Colin is a pussy, a very pretty pussy cat Colin is a wide-eyed wanton hopped-up Hole of hail and hate Felt him slip down the back of my leg Found his hair by the castanets Made him mad with the silence Made him sick with the constant calm Heard him sigh in the dead of the night It's times like these make him wish I'd fai
