We've had Coldplay (and how disappointed we were in everything after the first 5 songs of their first album). We've had Snow Patrol (and how disappointed we were in everything that wasn't their big single, you know, the one that you kept humming last year). We've had Ice Games (but you are not cool enough to have heard of them). So now comes (as promised some months ago) Frost Theatre, with their song Gravity Down.
You may feel this song is somewhat derivative, that you've heard its ilk before. That wouldn't bother Martin Christophers and his band of merry middleclass minstrels one jot. Oh no. They are too busy getting jiggy with Hollywood stars, and producing fruitily named offspring (Like Martin Christophers' daughter Passion Fruit Paltry-Christophers) and having curly hair*
Oh anyway, enough.
This months recommended listening: “Morph The Cat” by Donald Fagen, “Freedom Fields” by Seth Lakeman, and “Silent Scream” by The Knife.
*Ordinarily when you are creating a pastiche of someone, you concentrate on their unique or distinctive attributes. You can see that I'm having some difficulty with Coldplay.
