i'll probably regret this in the morning but...
masha qrella - don't stop the dance (mp3)
attend local university art and design degree shows: check.
stay out a touch later than planned and drink lots of beer: check.
get dodgy portland street fish and chips on the way home: check.
watch css on jonathan ross: check.
make a brew and decide that now's definitely an appropriate time to post something on the beef blog: check.
is drunken blogging a good idea? let's find out - oh wait, just let me stick on some fujiya + miyagi.
now, i've got this list you see. suggs is on this list, so is jay kay. it's a list of people who make me angry at the mere sight of them. it's nothing to do with their music (there are more than musicians on the list), or even anything that they've particularly done: it's something more instinctive than that; something primal. it's like those dirty, wrong thoughts i have about the ginger one from girls aloud, or the strange and confusing feelings i have about noel fielding. i can neither control nor rationalise it.all i can do is accept it, keep adding to my list and hope for the love of god that i never meet any of these people in person because i really don't know what would happen.
where am i going with all of this? well, brian ferry's on this list, but luckily i heard the song i've posted before i knew it was a brian ferry cover so could enjoy it in its own right and on its own merits, unfettered by the wrath that tumultuously simmers within me. only afterwards did i discover that it's actually a beautifully tight, pomp-free distillation of the original by ace german electronic indie pop outfit masha qrella released on ace german electronic indie pop label morr music's ace 'a number of small things' series of 7 inches (and by my reckoning that's ace to the power of 3, or ace cubed, which means that if it was any more ace it would enter the fourth dimension of aceness and be able to travel through time or something - and don't anyone dare say it sounds like nouvelle vague!).
so, in summary:
drunken blogging: good.
ginger one from girls aloud/noel fielding swimsuit special: gooder.
northern european electronic indie pop: the goodest.
enjoy.
