I heard Crazy Again by Gossip on 6 Music over the Christmas period. Whisper it quietly but I rather like it.
Yes, I know it is not my usual bag by any means. And yes, I know I have struggled a bit to warm to Beth Ditto in the past, partly because the music press got very excited about her but for what I thought were the wrong reasons, possibly even disingenuous reasons. But enough of my miserable old man schtick. This song: the simple, repeated guitar line on top of this really worms its way into your ear, I think. And there's a bit in the middle where some of the percussion sounds a bit like an Eighties Ariston advert. I approve.
The video is rather good too, and funny ("This weather really sucks dick..."). Though I should probably add that, unless you work somewhere very laid back, it might be considered NSFW in a few places.
You're correct. The video has been blocked here. Not that I spend all day reading blogs at work. I just had a free 30 seconds.
ReplyDeleteI'll try to remember to call back tonight.
From which I conclude that i must work somewhere fairly laid back. Not that I spend all day reading blogs at work, either. 30 seconds, etc.
