Aug 6, 2009 - Great. Read the singers book 'Bad Vibes - Britp-Pop and my part in it's downfall'! it's a great read!

Aug 27, 2009 - Brilliant book!

wibeseeker Says:

Dec 8, 2009 - It is indeed a great read. He is very funny but also quite a nasty piece of work. I wouldn't want to cross him!

Hellishhorse Says:

Dec 9, 2009 - You want to read Mark E Smiths [The Fall]book!....put Haines in the same room as Smith...watch the sparks fly!

Jan 28, 2010 - Funny watching this after reading Bad Vibes. When Chalker fucks up the first chorus (@0:45) I imagined James 'the Cellist' Banbury and both Barney grimacing (in perfect time with each other of course).

DrZeppo Says:

Echioderm Says:

Sep 5, 2010 - it is a bloody good book. he's a total twat, but he doesn't try to deny it, which is nice in a wierd way!

Dec 27, 2010 - Reading "Bad Vibes" at the mo, interesting stuff. Always have time for Luke Haines' offerings.

SirCosmoBonsor Says:

Mar 11, 2011 - Brill, nice one. Read it myself recently, he even mentions this show.

SirCosmoBonsor Says:

Mar 11, 2011 - Thing is, it's more that he *was* a twat at the time and acknowledges it honourably in the book. He's probably a really nice chap now. I bet he'd offer you a Werther's Original and a cup of tea. Like he did with Metallica.

TIMOTHYSAARINEN Says:

Apr 7, 2011 - I wouldn't take 5 Jack Whites for 1 Luke Haines.

BorderReiver73 Says:

May 5, 2011 - Interesting he says he is a twat. I have not read the book but I roadied for the band a few times and whilst I found him to be a very very strange and deep person, he was always extremely civil and a proper gentleman. But other guys I know who worked with the Auteurs did say he could be difficult sometimes. He is still a genius songwriter and amazing talent though. Never get tired of listening to them.

Aug 4, 2011 - not bad. the bass needed a bit more imagination though

MrThomyorkey Says:

Aug 5, 2011 - Should be one one of the greatest Brit bands ever. Shame that not many people know about them these days.

rusty2222 Says:

Nov 16, 2011 - The cellist & his Bickerton!

Wutangspam Says:

Nov 22, 2011 - ALL CLASS !

OwwKayy Says:

Feb 23, 2012 - I like the way the presenter says 'The Auteurs' at the beginning. "New Wave" is such a master piece, i had it on my WalkMan back in '93 and when i was out of battery, i used to sing it from the first song to the last one, so much that it is within my memory forever.

Apr 11, 2012 - Bad Vibes is a flippin' masterpiece. The best thing to come out of BritPop.
