The Stereophonics were number one the other week, with Dakota. I think it's a great single to be honest, and certainly a lot better than much anything off their last album. I like the vocals, I like the guitar, I like the change of pace in the chorus... Good stuff.
I heard the new Oasis single this morning on the radio. It's called Lyla or something. It sounds kinda like some of their old stuff. It's got a very retro sound to it, but doesn't everything these days... It's not very interesting though. It's pretty much in the same league as their early stuff, but it's not very inventive. It's the same stuff with a few different effects on the guitars - just different production. Hmm.
Liam Gallagher's voice is even more whiny and irritating than ever.
Maybe it'll grow on me... I doubt it though.
In other news, the new Athlete single is great. It's called Half Light, and it reminds me a lot of doing the whole long distance relationship thing with Alison while I was at uni. Lyrics as follows:
The sun got stuck, as it's making it's way back down,
We find ourselves, in a familiar part of town
And all that I've seen means nothing to me without you
So when I see you next we'll make the most of it,
Tell the sun to start moving again,
The taste of your kiss I still got on my lips,
And ill take you there with me
My head crashed down, and conditioned myself to sleep,
The great night out, that will continue to the end of the week
And all that I've seen means nothing to me without you
So when I see you next we'll make the most of it,
Tell the sun to start moving again,
The taste of your kiss I still got on my lips,
And ill take you there with me
It's you and me connected to a satellite
It's you and me love through a machine
It's you and me connected to a satellite
It's you and me love through a machine
So when I see you next we'll make the most of it,
Tell the sun to start moving again,
The taste of your kiss I still got on my lips,
And I'll take you there with me
