Just have a butchers at that photo of Mark .P on the sleeve of this
single. The mirror-image of a 'Popstar'. Slightly chubby, dirty old
school jumper,looking miserable,diy haircut,hands in pockets.....its
enough to give an A&R man an anxiety attack. The A&R man
continues: "They can't sing,can't play their instruments,its not a
proper recording,and the songs aren't happy enough.".....wrong on all
counts mr. Fictional A&R man,you're gonna lose your job soon anyway
when your poxy record company goes bankrupt. And when they do i'll play
this single to celebrate; fucking cultural fascists that they are. This
single is from an honest place, its folk music, its real,and Bendle and
Anno play...
Weebles???...on it? Are these the egg shaped toys that
wobble but they don't fall down?......if John Cage incorporated Weebles
in one of his conceptual pieces with prepared piano,we'd all be praising
his undoubted genius; but because its Mark "school of the streets"
Perry, this innovation is forgotten.
But, its no longer forgotten,as
its a work of great power and charm, which exists in its own bubble in
space, deserving, but not asking, to be loved......so love it!......and
then check out the
Mark Perry solo album.

Wonder if he still has the Mclaren/Westwood skull and crossbones jumper he's sporting? Be worth a few quid now, that's for sure.
Now, if C&A made a nylon version of that,i'd have asked my mum to buy it for me.
