Good day friends, I am very happy to say that my world is becoming sinisterer(?) daily! A year or so ago B&S, their songs and the world therein was confined to the space between my ears and my stereo. Now it's tangible, and I've met real people who feel the same about them, it's more than just grate, it's bloody brilliant!! And now I'm jetting off to L.A. to visit the fantastical Rachel Fruitloop for New Year and feel like "the luckiest guy in the world (tm)" I just wanted to tell everyone and thank you all, right enough of the gushy stuff. So I have been lucky enough to listen to all the new songs on the forthcoming EP, and here are the results of the Appsian judges: I'm Waking Up to Us I really approve of Struan's affected tone here. Sounds like there's a lump in his throat and he's gonna cry at any moment. Can anyone else hear a bit of one of the songs from 'war of the worlds' in it? Also give it a week or so and you too will be walking down the street singing "chapter is, chapter is, chapter is clo-osed" in ever higher pitches. 9/10 A real heartwrenching classic I love my Car Please don't stone me, but this is probably one of my least favourite B&S songs to date. I didn't like it live and I did'ne like it now. Maybe I'm just a miserable sod and can't appreciate anything remotely jolly. Retrieves some integrity with the line "the day will come soon when I look in your eyes, but I won't see you" 6/10 Better than 'Beyond the Sunrise' Marx and Engels Immediately appeals to the socialist in me, even before I've heard it. Starts with the word "misery", this is more like it! Scousers, Launderettes, magic! 8 and 3 quarters/10 t'ra then and enjoy your weekends Ben xxx P.S.
