Only Half Man Half Biscuit would call a song "Tending the Wrong Grave for 23 Years", a title that lands the joke and the ache before a note has been played. Nigel Blackwell wrote it, words and music, for Saucy Haulage Ballads, the six-track EP the Birkenhead band put out in August 2003.
The record is small in size only. Stylus Magazine reckoned those six tracks packed in more ideas and insight than plenty of bands muster in a lifetime, which is about as good a summary of Blackwell's knack as anyone has managed.
