Listens to her music on 45s
Enough bleeps... let's RAWK! Well, politely. And in sensible trousers.
I've been banging on about The Wombats here since their first single, and though not as good as 'Moving to New York' or 'Backfire at the Disco', by the sound of all the Radio 1 play this has been getting it seem this will finally be their breakthrough single.
Is that a children's choir I hear? Blimey. And I still don't hate it. There is something very likeable about these chaps. I also presume they've now been signed to a proper record label so we can stop calling them the biggest unsigned band in Britain.
THE WOMBATS - LET'S DANCE TO JOY DIVISION
Foals are an agreeably jerky band who you would have heard on Kitsune Maison Vol. 4. And true to form, this new single on Transgressive records is agreeably jerky.
As usual with these kind of tracks I have little idea what it's all about. That's not really the point though, it's got an intense energy and some interesting noises. They sound like they'd be a lot of fun live...
FOALS - MATHEMATICALS
A bit of a tongue twister this, the debut single from.... are you ready? Joe Lean and The Jing Jang Jong. Apparently Joe used to drum for The Pipettes, but failing to find a black & white spotted dress in his size decided to branch out on his own.
Things seem to be going well so far... they've landed support slots with Babyshambles & The Kaiser Chiefs, penned a very catchy single (below), and have an admirable ethos.... "There doesn't need to be a dichotomy between what cool kids like and what little kids like, I just want to make people kiss"
JOE LEAN AND THE JING JANG JONG - LUCIO STARTS FIRES (Removed by Request)
Like The Wombats, The Hussys have a knack for an insanely catchy tune... but unlike The Wombats don't seem any closer to cracking the charts.
The first single I got from them had so much pop across it's four tracks that it caused a massive spike in CO2 emissions and destroyed an area of the ozone layer the size of Greenland. It was dangerous stuff.
They now have a new 4-track single, 'Sunday Morning', which to be safe I listened to in a government laboratory. Well unfortunately I found that the first two tracks didn't quite produce the goods. I dunno, perhaps my expectations were too high. Thankfully though it all comes together for track 3, 'Rock Steady'. Ballsy (titsy?) 60s girl pop with a devastating chorus. A tale of a 60s obsessed modern mod, it's hugely evocative. We all know, but are not friends with (for they are too cool), girls like this. I'm a bit baffled as to why this isn't the lead track on the single for it's reet good.
