The new album is the shittest thing I have heard for a long time.
I reckon he could be a good geezer for beer/pie/footballreally? I think he'd be an insanely boring show-off.
I reckon he could be a good geezer for beer/pie/football but I'm not into the tunes at all Jon, poet he is not and (another thing) has he got worse as he's gone on or is that just me?
really? I think he'd be an insanely boring show-off.
I liked the first two albums, but what has really fucked it up for him is:
1) Singing - and all the "rock" rigmarole like being backed by a choir on the Jonathan Ross show
2) Moving away from observational stuff and story-telling into vapid philosophising about the world and generic shite.
Just playing the major label game, I guess - victim of his own success?
Last night I saw the worst example of apostrophe abuse I've ever seen - it was a total apastrophe, in fact - on a board outside a pub, titled "TAPA'S MENU". I can only hope the chef was called Tapa, but the (no double hideously mangled) Spanish words below it hinted otherwise.![]()
"banter" nowadays seems to be used to stand for a kind of carefree, witty laddishness but actually it makes me think of idiots being cheeky and that creepy butler out of Remains of the Day.
Maybe it's all in the weight of snow on the branches?
