| Sleeve job by Dave at the Pork Bend Kinko's - ask to see the range of wedding invites and corporate logos! |
If Mr. Protheroe had focused his huge talents a little back in '74, if he'd ditched the whimsy and insisted on a better sleeve, he might have broken in the Untied Snakes of Amerigo instead of remaining a bit of a cult in the UK. A cult with a boney-fido hit in the terrific title track, which ensured his continued semi-fame as a one hit wonder.
For this FoamEdit©, I've cut the whimsy, tweaked the running order and graciously donated a swell new cover, all of which costs him, and you, absolutely nothing. Zip. Nada. What do I get out of the deal? A tingling sensation in my hams, from bad posture.
Earworm melodies, chord changes to make the Dan Fan's mouth water, high quality vocals (including note-perfect harmonies), inneresding woids and soopoib production. You might call it jazz-inflected art-pop, if you knew what that meant, ya bum. Just make sure you download this sucker, because it's friggin' awesome.

Your album of the year? And I do mean 2025.
ReplyDeleteWhat's that you say? What's mine? Why, Nessa Paradis' Beaux Jours, bien sûr!
DeleteIf I pick just one, its the release from Galactic featuring Irma Thomas, Audience with the Queen (with Cyrille Aimee and her 4.24 lp being nudged out by a nose).
