Hit parade ram-raid with Neasden Postlethwaite

Oct 17, 2006 12:51

So I'm staring gormlessly at FTV this AM, as anyone with a brain might when confronted with enough vacuity to pull lawn-bowls up a metre column of mercury, when the music swaps from cranked-by-the-yard techno to someone trying very hard to be Joy Division.

I have no idea who it was, but it sounded like it might have been Depeche Mode. I know that post-punk-pastiche is the new Tractor, but the only way it could be more mired in the 80s would be... No, I can't think of it.

Meanwhile, some joker's (Hooky, probably) managed to swap money for the right to use 'Blue Monday' in a Mars advert. Other than pitching the BPM up a bit to suit Internet Time, it's unchanged since 1983. And entirely timeless. But then I would say that.

Elsewhere, multiple security patches. That's a whole bucket of cat-wax.
