HE IS THE LAW

[freakytigger.livejournal.com]

By popular demand, JUDGE POP is back from a lengthy patrol in the Cursed Earth, back to fight MUSIC CRIME on the mean streets of MEGA CITY POP. This week his legal scrutiny falls on PATRICK WOLF, who has risen to #1 on the Poptimists Listening Charts - but is he any good? The Judge's word is law - can you help guide him?

Based on A&E I was expecting MORE ambition and lavishness - it seemed quite...lo-fi! I think I was expecting something more like Simon Warner or Thieves, to use two minor personal touchstones for flamboyant pop.

I didn't mind the voice really!

Definitely wimpy though - not always a bad thing.

I am surprised people describe him as 'lavish' cus I always thought he was incredibly minimal. Hohum.

OK have now listened to three PW songs on youtube (didn't get to the end of the third one, actually), inc. two from his latest record. Not my thing at all. If Dr. T had used this guy as the stick with which to beat "indie pretending to be pop" yesterday, I would have argued with him far less.

To the isocubes wi' him! (Wolf, that is, not Alex)

One's bored of being British

Whatever became of Simon Warner?
