Singer (talker?) in Dry Cleaning just sounds so bloody bored. I guess maybe that’s the point? But if she can’t get excited by her own music, not sure how I’m going to.
(TBF I think I’d be less cynical if 6 music hadn’t rammed the last 2 songs down my throat)
The new Fratellis record is pretty decent, though it’s more relaxed and not as energentic/laddish any more. Loads of strings, brass and vocal harmonies, but they’ve kept the bright melodies.
I hear they’re reworking Yes Sir, I Can Boogie for Scotland’s Euro 2020 campaign…
A lifetime’s suffering, them’s the rules no refunds. At least England’s in the same group, who’re just as liable to shit the bed on the big stage.
I remember getting all my hopes up as a green adolescent with the 1-0 Netherlands win in the Euro 2004 playoffs, only to get smashed 6-0 in the return leg.
I enjoy it when I’m listening to it but I can’t see myself coming back to it much. One of my favourite bits is the one short section where she sings a bit - they need to do more of that I think.
