Well, there certainly are some dull Hurrah! singles out there. Watson, if you had been listening in lessons instead of picking your nose and eating it and staring out of the window, you would have learned that the only Hurrah! singles worth buying are the first four, all of which are unimpeachably brilliant genius pop music. It therefore must be that you bought one of the others, Keith, because I know you have impeccable taste in music. After all, you are a huge fan of...err...ummm...oh yes, Belle and Sebastian. Nevertheless, it's re-sits for you, boy. 'Tricky' Nicky Dastoor wrote:

Well, you know, I flatter myself that I am above such things but the truth is that if they looked one of a few particular *sorts* of rubbish, I would probably be unsettled. If they were all bearded, chunky-aran sweater-wearing-finger-in-ear-oi-that's-my-pewter-tankard-pint-of-yer-Famous-Old-Scroggins-Foaming-Rat's-Tattywater-landlord anal folkie bastards, it might throw a different light on their folk influence. If they were all leather jackets and Classic Rock poses, I might not be so relaxed about them covering Who songs (albeit one of the two Who songs I used to be able to tolerate until my recent conversion to the cause). If they had some kind of carefully thought through and expensively assembled 'look' (like The Proclaimers' colour coded glasses), I'd be worried. I'm not sure why. Something to do with self-delusion on my part, I think. But I have to admit I feel very comfortable with them looking like a bunch of herberts out for a swift half who wandered on stage by accident. I like that. Oh Nick, it seems that I am a very shallow person, too. Bloody wide, though. Cheerio Tim x _________________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
