With respect, it still annoys me that Mike Flowers is even mentioned. It shows a distinct lack of imagination... I just can't remember Mike ever doing a song like our new single...
"If this was 1982 they'd have been on the Compact label; had it been 1987, they'd have been on él. A bit retro, a lot recherché, they're positively Proustian, daddio."
and i'd like to point out that sweeping the nation is a most excellent blog, if only because they seem to give us a really good review for the summer sundae warm up parties....
this link
does not work.
oh
dear.
The best thing about this
is the pictures that illustrate the current top three stories on the music minisite front page: Winehouse, Doherty, Grindrod.
I'm chuffed for you, sir.
I'm also pretty shocked at your age. I thought you were in your midlate 20s. You don't look a day over 26.
Oh.
I thought it said you were 32 in the article! :(
I thought I was 32
after reading it, too! Lucky my passport was handy.
It is, to be fair
the most accurate he's been about a DiSser's group, at least compared to http://music.guardian.co.uk/newbands/story/0,,2013855,00.html
Nice.
Don't understand why he's dissing 'Grindrod' but any publicity is good publicity, right?
Excellent.
What will you be changing your name to then?
Mike Flowers
-=sigh=- :(
Good stuff!
But, to be honest guys Bobby, you're no Craine.
Guys, Bobby...I just didn't know which to run with.
.
GRRRR!

No.
That was your poster. Remember?
HIYA!
May I suggest,
Bobby Hotrod?
No? Ok then.
I like you!
You've heard of Mark Murphy!
This coverage is only on the website I think. The only other national newspaper stuff has been The Times and their infamous 'nu-croon' label.
Music Week applauded the fact that I wasn't afraid to 'veer towards crooning'. I don't call it crooning anyway. I call it 'singing'.
good news
apart from the Mike Flowers part !
Never 'eard of them
London bands pfffft!
See you tomorrow
...

You're the enemy now, Robert.
I think he's saying in 1982
they'd be Blue Rondo a la Turk and in 1987 they'd be Matt Bianco. A bit unfair but they beat The National ANY day
this is the best band
i've seen on there

So who's going tonight?
Congrats!
Hurrah indeed
Good work Grindrod!
Does anyone have a contact email for Paul Lester btw?
Congratulations!
