Don’t call it a comeback.
Except do.
Because it is.
An absolutely amazing song from an amazing album. This song is unstoppable synth pop at it’s finest and an incredible homage to Felt. Take the following words with a pinch of salt after wiping the rabid fanboy foam from them with a damp flannel…
However, I am incredibly glad that ‘Write about Love’ isn’t the agreeably mum friendly Tesco shelve filler flop that Camera Obscura’s ‘My Maudlin Career’ turned out to be. It seems on first listen like Belle & Sebastian are back on full form after a few questionable albums (by Sinister standards). Life Pursuit, Dear Catastrophe Waitress, Story Telling - yeah whatever. Finally Belle & Sebastian have found a way to channel the drive of songs such as ‘Blues are Still Blue’ into songs that don’t sound like they belong in a Matalan commercial.

Hi Simon Rowbotham! When will you post anything again? Waiting eagerly.

- Haha, who is this? You anonymous devil.
… This is an automated message from Tumblr isn’t it?
- HAD to post a music video more twee than Sarah’s. Just look at that navy blue chino action.
I have been obsessed with this song for so long. It never gets old! Fuck all this trendy ‘shit-gaze’ that’s about at the moment. These guys were on it 3 years before all the other cats (which is about 3 decades in hipster years).
Labour is set to embrace Gordon Brown’s reputation for anger and physical aggression, presenting the prime minister as a hard man, unafraid of confrontation, who is willing to take on David Cameron in “a bare-knuckle fistfight for the future of Britain”
An aide has stated that Brown is alpha-male personality who “is prepared to pummel, punch or even headbutt the British economy into a new era of jobs and prosperity”’. - Guardian news.
Here’s hoping that Labour will finally address growing calls from the public for the upcoming election to be decided as a 3 way cage fight to the death between Brown, Cameron and that other one.
Douche of the Day.
At first I was flapping about what on earth I was going to use my Tumblr for. I decided upon seeing a detestible clip from ‘The Alan Titchmarsh Show’ - on the topical topic of video games violence - that I would undoubtedly need to highlight at least one douche a day if I was ever going to achieve my life long goal of sorting the entire world into the catagories of douche and not douche.
In this video TITmarsh (cheap gag) does his best imitation of a buttered plank of wood doing it’s best impression of Piers Morgan whilst simultaneously flaunting the intellectual prowess and hosting skills of a punctured tire.
Air-headed host Titchmarsh breezily allows both damnably ignorant and inpersuasive panalists to gang up on and respond to well informed videogame expert Tim Ingham as if he were a Playstation controller with the words VIOLENT SEX CRIME written on it in human blood.
Take it away Alan. You’re my very first Douche of the Day!
