Eh?

Their music was wonderfully contrived, and the afforelinked video even more
so. Mike Flowers (can't remember his real name) had excellent comic timing,
as did the producer of the video. I have the worrying feeling that you
thought that they were being serious...

No, I thought they were being twats.
They weren't good, they weren't funny, they were barely even attractive.
Worse than Mike Myers, even.

Replace the word "attractive" with "white", "heterosexual", or "English".

I watched that this very morning, about an hour ago.

There's a lot of his stuff on YT, well worth watching.

Oh my, he's talking to me, isn't he? What a good thing that I agree 
with him 100%, except for that bit about Joe Peshy (sp?)

First time I've ever heard that, I believe.  I thought it quite amusing
and was impressed by the attention to detail (e.g. using a Rickenbacker
bass guitar).

Well, there may have been a touch of hyperbole there.
Or was there?

I don't have a problem with Mike Flowers.  At least he made
"Wonderwall" listenable.




Grk!

Other fora have been occupying my time.  I only manage to read about
four or five LiveJournalists a day.  Still, I've not been a hermit.
I'm seeing Circulus on Thursday night & My Bloody Valentine on Sunday.
Woo.





Grk.

I'm sorry, I've just come.

I've also just bought a Crackle Box

http://www.crackle.org/CrackleBox.htm

After the sad death of Michel Waisvisz.

Now watch this:

Then get her first album, "Dissected".

Even a bad dig at Oasis is better than no dig at Oasis. Shirley?
