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?

I just don't think I can listen to him and like him after that last sentence. It reminds me of Ocean Colour Scene / Hurricane #1 / HEAVY STEREO saying we just do what we do and if anyone else likes it well that's a bonus. Which I know is not really what he's saying, but the words are similar enough to make me do a little sick in my mouth

They're similar enough that I immediately assumed he was teasing the interviewer!

I wonder if anyone actually did say it back in the day - see also "There's always been a dance element to our music".

I'm pretty sure I read it in an NME interview in the mid nineties, said perfectly straight-faced, possibly by The Bluetones. Re : "dance element", I also remember very vividly that the latter said "Our new album is influenced just as much by the Wu-Tang Clan as it is by Bob Dylan". Turned out that was a lie.

Yes on BOTH counts! Jaysis the Bluetones.
