Autumn Fifty - number 45
Oct. 8th, 2012 08:07 amThe Wedding Present - What have I said now
I prefer the Weddoes in their George Best era: when they got into bed with Steve Albini they took on too much drone and 12 minute guitar breaks. This song is OK; I do like Gedge's deadpan, awkward monotone* and his lyrics which remind me of R 'n' B/R Kelly style, just reportting what happened rather than trying to create poetry (although "What about all of your friends and all those letters they send? They can't all be that boring" comes near-ish).
* Yorkshire, represent
