yep, heard portishead "it could be sweet" on the muzak at work this morning. outrageous! in addition to hearing that one cocteau twins song numerous times at work..uhhhh, i think it's the one on 'heaven or las vegas' that comes after 'iceblink luck'.
i didn't care for "Mitch Benn's Crimes Against Music" funny BBC radio show till the later episodes, which included many Morrissey jokes (& jokes about sad obsessive Smiths fans) & many many funny rock songs, including the one about being trapped in the airport, 'vodka & toblerone'. which, yeah. hey, there ya go. it's no 'cereal & beer' but it'll do.
Still crushing hard on the happy songs on "skylarking", the 3 good songs on "nonsvch", & maybe 1 song from "wasp star". the rest....not so much. Colin Moulding songs don't make sense to me lately. & "mummer" had eluded me completely till this very morning. when I was reminded of the Andy Partridge interview when he talked about Steve Nye, who they got in to produce "Mummer" after hearing his work with the band Japan. "Mummer" is just a slow, depressing album overall for some reason to me. Even the last half of "Skylarking" just seems doom-laden.
Gimme the happy, gimme "Dear Madam Barnum" 50x in a row, please!!!!!!!
