First, apologies for my recent absence. Family bid'nez, work, extra curricula lunacy, and a head full of snot have combined to keep me from posting.
Second, I'm two tracks into the new Fratellis album and it is BLOODY AWFUL.
I know you indie savants out there would probably claim the first album was rubbish (why don't you all toddle off and compare rimless specs and ironic t-shirts rather than sneering at a music simpleton like me, home slices? They sound like "Hootie and the Blowfish" Bill? Really?). Being a fan of foppish dandy pop that's redolent of British gangster films from the 70s myself, I rather liked their eponymous debut. And so I was excited to see their unheralded second effort on the Borders website.
Ugh- track three, if this is possible, is even worse than the first two songs.
Where were we? Oh yes. Shouty choruses, slow motion kick lines, and sub-Marc Bolan guitar rock = good. Shouty choruses, lack of irony, and sub- Gary Glitter guitar rock: ABSOLUTELY HIDEOUS.
I want my money back.

never heard of them.
You won't like them.
Hey my boy, catch a gig from the great Bruce Springsteen and really learn about the temple of music...everything else is second rate...trust me, I used to be a teacher, in fact I used to be your teacher!
...I know what you mean. In my day, they said the the Rolling Stones, The Who, The Kinks and Slade were crap...but now....???
