time of the season
Ich bin ja einer der wenigen Menschen auf der Erde, die nie einen Fehler gemacht haben, das ist auch eine Bürde. Man sieht die Fehler der anderen noch viel deutlicher. Einen winzigen Fehler habe ich aber doch: Ich mag diese lächerliche Mersey-Beat-Musik. The Animals, The Zombies, Small Faces. Ich weiß, ihr seid enttäuscht … Fuck it!

Of all the artists which make up this chart, the most unexpected has got to be this one.

When I think of Freddie Starr, a serious singing career really isn't the first thing that comes into my head...

THE HOUSEMARTINS - London 0 Hull 4

Very weird place to start a dive into the collected works of Norman Cook, playing bass for a #Rock band sounding rather like The Smiths, though more jaunty and jangly. I'm not sure what this strain of UK #IndieRock is officially called, but it sounds like #Merseybeat to me, just with #80s production standards. Oh, and big ol' piano solos too.

I'm sure this has fans - seemed to chart really well - but I've but a passing fancy for it.
