I heard Paolo Nutini this morning. He is an awful Rac C Nesbitt sounding fool.

I'd like to hear Franz Ferdinand's "Sound + Vision" because Girls Aloud are doing the "Doo-doo-doo" backing vocals.

I heard Rab C Nutini doing "It Must Be Love" (from 1992 when it was re-released...why?) and Razorlit doing "Englishman In New York".

Shite.

I like a good cover version me, and a bad one

I bought this recently:

Some shockers (Gomez murdering "Wichita Lineman") and some great stuff (Jamie T doing "A New England", Camera Obscura doing "Super Trooper")... worth checking out
