    @RP
    that’s not about dying – that’s the sound of her killing her cat by singing

    (oh yeah, i went there….)

    The DOOM track features Empress Starhh not Sharhh.

    Great idea Niall!
    For me it’s ‘Triggering Back’ by Benoit Pouliard. Unbelievably good, can’t stop listening to the album it’s on, Precis (Kranky).

    La Roux does sound like a cat dying, she’s utterly terrible to my ears…the Prince rip-off song wasn’t too bad but her new one makes her sound like one of the girls in the school choir who would have been told to just mouth the words instead of singing…

    Niall:
    thanks – corrected.

    Gucci Bandana is officially my theme tune. No doubt. The musical equivalent of a Star Bar dipped in your coffee at 9am.

    Awesome tune. I’m not totally convinced the album lives up to hype but 3 or 4 brilliant tunes on it for sure.
