Song of the day – 90: Kate Nash (again!)

I vowed not to repeat the same artist twice in this series, let alone two songs from the same album, but…

This song is so weird, I have to draw attention to it, however. Despite the comments from various fans on the ‘net (“she’s been listening to Huggy Bear, Lydia Lunch“) (“is Kate Nash trying to go all riot grrrl or something? Quite fitting that she’s in Seattle if that’s the case” – um, no. Seattle had nothing to do with Riot Grrrl), the band the recorded version of this song most reminds me of, easily, is Crass – particularly latter-day Crass, circa Penis Envy. And that’s just plain weird. Brilliant, don’t get me wrong, but plain weird.

Now will someone send me the damn album!!!

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.
