Becoming obsessed with this Geordie Greep record he’s like a man raised by his nan and a middle aged neighbour with an exhaustive collection of vintage erotica and bossanova records. He’s like Robert Crumb invented a jazz prog fusion guitarist.
Hope GOAT are proud of themselves, hit a worldy with World Music but been tapping that same source for an age, then change it up a smidge on the self titled and back making themselves damn damn proud
Hear loads of The Sundays in the pop music of the moment, Billie Eilish sounds well Harriet Wheeler on 'Birds of a Feather'. And beabadoobee is just wholesale.
Mad stat that. I realised the chasm between the music industry in London and elsewhere when I went to the Manchester Indie Label market and it wasn’t heaving with labels.
Got dem tickets, standing. Cannot wait to feel the euphoric warmth of orange piss from a paper cup smashing me in the kisser during The Importance of Being Idle.
This lad is just spurting the same old for a pay check. He bemoans Oasis as harming the evolution of British rock but I have never seen him talk about any new music. One of those music critics who is stuck in a vortex where they just stop talking about anything post 2001.

Noel Gallagher has size five and a half feet, thought I dreamt this article. Picture of him comparing shoes with Justine from elastica's whopping size 7s.
