Song of the day – 155: The Like

Obviously, I hate everything about this group, but the music and production and playing on this album (courtesy of Amy Winehouse’s producer and backing band) is quite exemplary, and…

…I’m glad I’m not the only one who misses the original Pipettes.

This is Wendy James-level desperate, and Transvision Vamp-level good.

Now, maybe if Mark Ronson and the Dap-Kings could find a decent singer to front their killer sound…?

(Incidentally, their ‘live’ acoustic version of ‘Will You Still Love Me Tomorrow’ is an absolute travesty, but I guess it doesn’t have Ronson present to gloss over that horrible, self-satisfied, smugly soulless voice.)

My name is Everett True. I am a music critic. This is what I do. I criticise music. The clue is in my job description – music critic. I do not consider myself a journalist, as I do not research or report hard news. I do not consider myself a commentator as I believe that everyone should be a participant. I criticise people and in return I am not surprised if other people criticise me. It is part of the whole deal of being in the public arena. I am Everett True. Believe in me and I have power like a God. Quit believing in me and I no longer exist.
