Sandi Thom Crap/Not Crap

[Jambooboo]

Just heard this.

It doesn't make sense being that punk and 'flower power'/psychedelia are complete opposites, in sound and ideology/'movement'.



Nele Furtardo's new one is alright though!

 

[hatz]

I saw a poster for this song and I thought "uh, I bet it's rubbish, punks wouldn't have flowers in their hair etc".

Then I heard the song and I thought "I'm going to chuck"

Serves me right for listening to the radio I suppose. Aural rape = not a pleasant way to start the day.

 

[SubZeroCat]

Is she the young one who has a warbly Joss Stone-esque voice? I think I've heard her briefly.

If it's the same bint then YES the song is rubbish and YES her voice is over-exaggerated warbly talentless shite.

I wish more some pop stars would put more effort into singing

 

[Dr. Furface]

I haven't heard her tune but the lyrics look shit and it seems she's been hyped to the hilt, but I'll say one thing for her - she's dead right that she missed a damn good time in '77!

And she would have got her head kicked in if she'd worn flowers ...

 

[Orangesanlemons]

Nuff said.

 

[i_hate_beckham]

It is quite dreadful, but I wondered if in a treacley gooey kind of way it might connect with a certain feeling some young people have that today's yoof don't have their Summer of Love or Punk rock rebellion.

Thats OK we had wanking over Sclub7 instead.

Actually, having lyrics that don't make any sense or contradict each other hasn't been a barrier to many other artists, like errr, Oasis for example.

"Slowly walking down the hall,
faster than a cannonball"

Eh?

 

[lostexpectation]

Just read this article in the Guardian about the manufactured PR surrounding this single (no surprise there) and it just made my blood boil! The lyrics are just contradictory! How the fuck can you be a 'punk rocker' and have 'flowers in your hair'? The punks were a reaction against all the hippy stuff. Initially I was suckered in when this story 'broke' but the proof was in the pudding, so when I first heard this track I saw through the thin facade for the false crap that it is. It's just so fake.

fucking marketeers die, well done the blogsphere for sniffing her out


replacing a song from car ad though so??

what ad was gnarls barkely from?

 

[andy2002]

I saw her on Top Of The Pops last night – she was shit, as was pretty much everything else on the show, including presenters Fearne Cotton and Spoony.

 

[RubberBuccaneer]

Here's a tip for you love ... just go and do it , how hard can it be to cut your hair ,dye it and stick a fucking flower in it..you daft twat.

 

[trashpony]

She looks old enough to have been around when punk was happening anyway

And they're comparing her to Janis Joplin? Well fuck right off

 

[dolly's gal]

shit shit shit. the song makes me want to hide behind the sofa and stick pins in my ears. i can't believe ANYONE has bought it!

 

[dirtysanta]

 

[ArcticWho]

It reminds me of a Diet Coke ad track!

 

[Major Tom]

I saw a clip of her on the news last night - it sent a shudder through me the like of which I have never before experienced. And it was not good.

And that fucking PR hype story of her performing on the net when she was a penniless nobody.

Bullshit bolllocky bollocks

 

[g force]

Truly amazing song































It makes Katie Melua seem almost bearable

 

[rennie]

how can a punk rocker have a flower in their head? does she not know that's supposed to be a hippy?

idiot.

 

[sojourner]

And they're comparing her to Janis Joplin? Well fuck right off

Are they indeed??? Where's me fucking boxing gloves, I'm not having THAT! No one can compare to Janis

wank song. im sort of glad i dont have something to rebel against, it seems like too much effort.

Rebel against this kind of senseless mediocrity – rise up against Sandi Thom

If you can't think of anything to rebel against then I can probably give you quite a lengthy list.

I'd go to war if it meant an end to this sort of drivel. (or I'd at least be a big military supporter and make a flag saying "welcome home, our boys" and stick photos of "our boys" up in the local supermarket and knit socks and stuff. I probably wouldn't be arsed to actually fight)

 

[dozzer]

I think she's ok. Not anything special.

And I think she does have a good voice.

 

[Iam]

She could have 17 wonderful voices, it's still a fucking awful song.

A well-performed piece of crap is still a piece of crap.

 

[spoone]

maybe she raises a semi-valid point tho.

60s: hippies
70/80s: punks, disco etc
90s: electronic music.

and what the fuck do i get? shit commercialised hip hop and wanky pop music.

pffft

 

[X-77]

i don't normally frequent this forum but I just had to come on this thread and agree with the sentiment that this song is a great pile of stinking wank!

Loving the poll results by the way

true that was a bit of a daft comment.

don't ask me about the picture, it was like the first one that came up in google image search.
