bright spark - take a look at your life (mp3)

there's very little i can say about this record that will add to the transcendent experience that will fall upon you after listening to it, so i'll just fire a few things you need to know now ...

1) this might be the strangest record you hear on this, or any other music blog, this year. i can almost guarantee this.

2) i think it's a side project by mc pitman, but there's really no way of knowing for sure. ooh some fresh information from "dee" has popped up in the comments below, and apparently this is a side project of bent! the nottingham accent should've been a dead giveaway ...

3) this song contains more swearing than is feasible for a 2 minute record.

4) this will leave you feeling simultaneously gleeful and melancholic, and pondering on the big questions.

ok. now listen to it, and please please please tell me what you think in the comments - i don't think i'm wrong in shortlisting this for single of the year, but would be relieved to know that i'm not simply losing my mind.
