The Swedish Railway Orchestra – The Subjection
A triumphant return from Workman’s Club DJ and Argentine soccer fanatic Rob Smith (top) – who is from Dublin, not Stockholm – this pulsating blast of indie-tronica takes the square root of The Fall and multiplies it with LCD Soundsystem.
The Subjection is lifted from SRO’s superb second album ‘This Is A Mixtape’. The uber-cool video features vintage footage of Berlin before the Wall came down.
Proceeds from a limited batch of CDs of the new album go to [suicide charity] Pieta House, and are available here
Rob says:
“The lyric is based upon an Emmaline Pankhurst quote, and musically I’ve had one person comment that it’s ‘like Anton Newcombe on ecstasy’, which is frighteningly accurate.”
Nick says: Welcome to suffragette city.

Fergal Mulligan, programme director of the National Broadband Plan, has said the plan may cost the state €1bn less than the reported €3bn
The cabinet have to confess
That their big broadband plan is a mess
Now one of their staff
Has said, for a laugh
That it may cost one billion less
