1. I can't believe I didn't put 'Don't You' by Micah P Hinson on both lists - it's perfect. I must be crazy.
2. Lame of me not to include 'Come On Eileen'. 'Come On Eileen' is way greater than any of that Bob Dylan shite.
3. Frith, you might be right about 'Unfinished Sympathy' but I'm not putting any Sparks or Pet Shop Boys on instead
Oi! I never asked for that. A Brit award is recognition enough I think for the Boys, they don't need your measly blogoblog.
ReplyDeleteMicah P Hinson backwards is Nosnih P Hacim.
Come on Eileen is dark. Dark putrid shit. Only those of us who have witnessed alcopop and aggression fuelled dancefloors fill to it understand this. Also, one of those songs you could never pull to.
ReplyDeleteErm, Yeke Yeke?
Dude, we've all had bad experiences of Come on Eileen, and we've all witnessed the above. The point is, the point is, Alexander, return to the heart of the song, this Celtic Soul tale of young love and nostalgia will survive anything that can be thrown at it. The song, the song alone remains the thing.
