Joy Division Oven Gloves now regularly get held up by someone in the audience at live gigs. Google some YouTube live performances of the song and you may get a glimpse. Slippers (for writing on the soles of) I did expect, but these I did not. Someone’s probably even selling them by now. Thanks to EskimoEric and gnick

    This one’s bothered me for a bit. The first line really sounds to me like…

    “Well, they say she’s too hot…………”

    I’d cast it away as too random if it wasn’t for the “If it’s her desire…..” in the next line.

    Can you turn the volume up and give it a fair listen please Chris? :)

    Definitely “the dish is too hot”.

  3. danny

    your doing a great job mate. Keep up the good work

  4. +1 for “the dish is too hot”

  5. Gareth

    polishing the knave?

    Just an idea.

    Oh, how Neil and Nigel must be laughing as the saunter through our earnest musings. Or gently chuckling, I hope.

    Happily conceded to “The dish is too hot” after seeing a live one on youtube.

    I defer to you all :)

  7. Having been stuck on the M25 for half a lifetime on Friday, with naught but an HMHBMP3CD for company, I’m a bit less convinced by “dish” than I was this time last week. One version sounded like “the dish is too hot”, another “she says she’s too hot” and a third “sex is too hot”!

    I may have to lock myself in a small dark room with naught but my iPod for company…

    Worth noting - some bright spark (userid oladavola) has uploaded some decent quality footage onto YouTube of HMHB recently at Cornbury - worth checking them all out.
