Natasha ft Clipse - So Sick hear here
Kick: Minimal like knuckles.
Louis: Does she not know any other notes?
Alex: “GO AND TELL MY MAMA SHE DON’T CARE COS I’M GROWN.”
AMP: I preferred the first note she was using.
Louis: If I was Simon Reynolds I’d draw a conceptual line between that and the one note guitar solo on The Buzzcocks’ ?Boredom?.
Alex: “You look so sick cos I’m lookin so fit” is great because she IS - and if any of you hate on her that’s exactly what she will say.
Louis: What sort of sickness are we talking here?
Kick: When you go this sparse, any little trick in the backdrop feels enormous. Like a close-up.Yeah, this is good, you cd do that kind of micro-dancing to it. Like just flexing yr hips or forearms.
Alex: She’s only 17! I love arrogant teenagers.
Louis: It’s quite surprising when that strings wash suddenly comes in. It’s what you least expect
AMP: Suprising in a bad way I think.
Alex: The middle 8 was pretty and star-spangled.
Kick: I’m glad they washed out again.
AMP: But now it’s gone i’m thinking of it fondly.
Louis: Yeah, this is really good.
AMP: Yes, it’s ace.
Louis: Well done Alex!
AMP: Yes. *pats alex*
Alex: Glad to be of service.
Louis: Round of applause for Alex everyone.
Kick: HE DIDN’T WRITE IT. (Did you?)

Napoleon III - This Is My Call To Arms hear here
Kick: I never thought he soundedlike this..?
Alex: OH MY GOD STOP “SINGING” LIKE THAT.
Louis: It’s like a pen only costs about 50p?
Alex: The voice is fucking unforgivable.
Kick: I liked that dramatic pause.
Alex: THEN THE VOICE STARTED AGAIN.
Louis: Very strange horn bit that came in before. So many ideas. So few of them good.
Kick: Now some kind of, um organ, and, i don’t know, penny-whistle? Junk shop orchestra stuff? I wish rock stars wd stop dissing TV.
Louis: Maybe this would be entertaining live
Kick: WE GET IT. YOU DON’T WATCH TV. YOU STILL TURN UP ANY TIME THEY INVITE YOU THOUGH, DON’T YOU?
AMP: I must confess this isn’t my favourite track of his
Louis: An old man struggling with his shopping trolley of instruments.
AMP: That is an awesome description louis. Because it’s kind of true.
Alex: And seriously someone who sings like that AND THINKS IT’S OK TO PASS IT OFF AS ART needs to be beaten to death.
Louis: Hurrah, this month’s first death threat!
Kick: You SHOULD be singing ‘the TV is an invidious machine for brain control EXCEPT WHEN ME AND MY BAND ARE ON IT’.
Louis: I knew it would come from Alex.
Kick: I thought it was… not horrible, but…like big sideburns. That’s what it made me think of. BIG MUTTON-CHOPS.

Amy Winehouse - Back To Black hear here
AMP: Can someone explain Amy Winehouse’s ?look’ to me? The hair, the tattoos..?
Louis: Sort of Romany gipsy dressed as pirate for Hallowe’en - plus SEXY!
Kick: There’s something quite cabaret about her - in a good way, like, smoky, dark, late, all that stuff…
AMP: But not so sexy now all thin. She should go back on the weed and chocolate diet methinks. Yes, I am being prescriptive about how women *should* look. I am such a misogynist!
Louis: But no ones knows what all these other chancers look like. You could criticise Peter Bjorn and John’s cardigans if you like, but I think they’ve had enough?
Kick: It’s pretty stately, isn’t it? And grand. Which is good.
Alex: I like pretty much all songs which do heartbreak with dignity.
Louis: So this is about being dumped for another girl and drowning your sorrows, yes?
AMP: I think I like her because she is crazy and alcoholic and…is she badly behaved? These things are all good.
Kick: It’s like a James Bond theme sung from the perspective of the Bond girl.
Kick: That said, I fucking hate James Bond, but it was intended as a compliment. Shirley Bassey > James Bond
Louis: I prefer Indiana Jones. He’s so… rugged.
