PUBLISHING

It is with enormous chuffedness we announce the Loins have signed a publishing deal with Vacilando '68, who are part of the Bucks Music Group. Vaci-wot? Please read below:

A wanderer for whom the experience of travel is more important than travelling for the purpose of reaching a destination.

John Steinbeck (in Travels With Charley: In Search of America) wrote: "In Spanish there is a word for which I can't find a counterword in English. It is the verb vacilar, present participle vacilando. It does not mean vacillating at all. If one is vacilando, he is going somewhere, but does not greatly care whether or not he gets there, although he has direction. Everything in the world must have a design or the human mind rejects it. But in addition, it must have purpose or the human conscience shies away from it."

So now you know.

LUMMY DAYS PODCAST

The Loins' "Please Take My Scissors Away" is featured in the April 2010 edition of the Lummy Days podcast, made by a nice fella called Fatty Fudge on behalf of the 1970's UK folk band, Stackridge, who reformed in 2006.

Downloads are currently exceeding 2,500 a month, so that's a fair few "bloody fuck"s making their way around the world. Good to do your bit innit.
