Sinister: Everybody's Trying To Sell Us, Another 60's Retro Record

[David Moore]

Yo!

Sorry for this twice in one night stuff, but it doesn't happen very often.


I may have missed this appearing earlier whilst in my Sinister Space
Invaders type flipping of the delete key period, but a couple of eNeMeEs
ago our Stevie Jackson had this to say about the new Where Two Eyebrows
Meet album:


        “I liked it. I kind of wanted to like it. I loved Oasis when they
came out, especially the first record. I never got the third album because
I heard it was all cocaine and guitar solos so it didn't really appeal to
me. This new one was quite enjoyable. The songs are OK but I enjoyed the
record for Liam's voice mainly. 

        Noel scuppers a few of the songs because he cannot resist throwing
his references everywhere. The first tune had a bit of ‘Voodoo Chile’ in it
and one of them had ‘Roadhouse Blues’ by The Doors and ‘Something In The
Air’ by Thunderclap Newrnan. The whole album seems to have an obsession
with 1968 or '69 but it still sounds OK. I was led to believe that Liam's
song was really twee and horrible - even worse than some people imagine
Belle & Sebastian to be - but I thought his vocal transcended that.

        Obviously, it’s just another Oasis album really but I do think
they’re back on the right track a wee bit and the songs are a bit better.
It has all got less interesting since the second album but I liked it just
because it was another Oasis album and it’s enjoyable for what it is.”


So there you are then.


I'm at it too, as I succumbed to the lure of The Who box (not slip-cased)
set the other day coz the Megawhores had it knocked down in their sale.
Maximum R'n'B indeed.



What did Honey lick that gave him oral thrush? I hope it wasn't poor
Rebecca the Sheep - chocolate's really hard to get out of her wool.

Bye now,
