A Year In Pop: 9

[freakytigger.livejournal.com]

The SAP of POP is RISING with a staggering 12 new entries this week. Do I know anything about any of them? DO I BUGGERY. Apart from Ugly Rumours, with Tariq Ali on bass and Keith Flett on marimba and vibes.

Oh THOSE Horrors. I'd hoped they were a band the NME had made up.

Why does the name Ugly Rumours ring a bell? Oh god it's NOT Tony Blair's student band is it? Surely not, surely.

It is anti-war protesters who have named themselves after T Blair's student band.

FFS these people must die.

Whyever! It's not an awful joke.

It's so wacky-studenty!

It's trying to be seriously anti-war, and possibly succeeds, but unfortunately has mediocre soul singing, so is ultimately just a stolid cover song.
