Snow Patrol; not a bad fake American AOR pop band with a total non song full of pleasant lines, riffs and production tricks borrowed from a dozen better Yankacts.
Belle & Sebastian did an album track.
Have you noticed that recent bands often sound more dated than very old ones?
This was pure McGuiness Flint from 1967.
Then Yazz from 1988. I remember it well.
I'm quite a late convert to The Streets but I really like them now... well done Mike Skinner.
The guy who sings on the tracks deserves a solo career.
Then another JK band - The Crimea, who made the best album of last year.
Thanks a lot for letting me know they would be on, Joe!
They were The Crocketts when I started championing them and Davey had no teeth.
I said it first almost ten years ago; huge talent.
Congratulations Dan Powter on the US Number One.
This new one will not emulate the commercial success of its predecessor.
The Zutons... OK. Nothing song.
And GGGnarllllssss at the top.
Crazy!

sometimes your reviews are better than the programme! Particularly enjoyed the Snow Patrol description - you're bang on there

I only wish the show was as significant as it used to be when I was on it.

They are good but not commercial.
