Jeff breaks fans nose

[gems and rhinestones]

Fuck. Do you know what's making Ed look really old, apart from everything else making him look old? Fake tan. He looks like an English ex-pat in Magaluf.

Why do you care about Ed's tan? I never even noticed he has a tan. Maybe you should go over to the 10club forum and post in the Eddies hot thread.

This is RM, it's what we do. We talk shit about Ed and how underrated Jeff as a singer is.

I've been in one or two of those in my time. But man, maybe you need to relax. It was a humorous comment. If you think Ed's tan is really bothering me in life right now I don't know what to say to you.

I find myself wanting to hug more than usual lately, harmless. You'd think it was September again the way people seem to be targeting you.

Know that I will always you, and that my will always be true.

I am playing this and thinking about you...



(You probably shouldn't listen to it, cause you'll hate it)

I won't necessarily. You know I love the song, and it's a pretty specific subset of things that I hate about these kinds of bands. Hang on.

I wish the tone on the keyboard in the second verse were different, but I think the thing that gets it off the hook for me is that he sings it in a straight-forward, heart on sleeve manner instead of trying to play it off detached/ironic/cool/etc. The first time I heard it I expected him to be way over the top, and like three lines into it I thought "Oh man, I love that he's singing it like he means it."

Also, I like the way the mood shifts in the second verse. I can see how it would bother people, but I love how after he pours out he first verse and chorus from a very vulnerable place, the second verse takes it a place of hesitantly confident euphoria over loving this person so much.

I have probably put more thought into this song in the last three minutes than the Wombats ever have.

Yeah, this was OK actually. Yeah, I agree that he sounds like he means it, although that sincerity is coupled with a nice dose of humour (the tempo changes sort of say "Yes, we are really, actually doing this. Chorus!" The synth is a bit annoying. I like the guitar tone. In the end the most annoying thing about it, predictably, is that the accent is so exaggerated, it's like "Did I mention that I'm English??" Maybe my annoyance at the over-enunciation is comparable to people's annoyance at Ed's?

That actually makes perfect sense. Do you feel that way about a lot of British artists?

A lot of people say it about Damon Albarn but I loved Blur so it doesn't bother me (although I can hear it). They accuse Jamie Oliver of it; "Mockney", the imitation of a cockney accent by a posh middle-class Essex boy. Musically, it's a feature of a lot of British "Indie" bands which became prominent in the mid-noughties, beginning around the time of The Libertines. Pete Docherty is to blame for so much of it, but there was basically a whole host of copycat bands of people basically copying Joy Division (or any mod / New Wave / post-punk band you care to name). It also always has the Joy Division disco beat on top of a jangly rock riff (something I didn't mind when Joy Division did it). OK I'm soapboxing now, but basically the scene diverged into electro and "Nu-Folk" (Mumford and Sons) and some of the electro stuff is interesting and the first Mumford album I like and... I'm not sure what point I'm trying to make anymore. It's a sales pitch for musical Britain, imo. Maybe people also feel like that about "Americana", a brand that (if I understand it rightly) isn't really a thing; it's various different styles of American folk music all consolidated into one easy payment.

All that stuff is not necessarily relevant to The Wombats, by the way, except for the fact that the names of these bands almost always begin with "The".
