# I'd just put her next to Florence and the Machine
In the 'menopause' section...

# Floz & The Machine - there's an interesting one.
A: She's not Kate Bush, however much she thinks she is.
B: They do do good tunes.
C: She fancies herself rotten - as a bird and as a muso - the whole "staring up the lights lost in the music"/"tightly squeezed eyes, lost in the music" schtick is very, very considered, and thus pretentious and annoying. See also R&B singers doing that stupid "delicate hand" thing to indicate how soul they are.

# I feel a little about F&TM like I did about Oasis when they were about:
Great tunes, pricks doing them = Dammit stop being such pricks!

# But they weren't great tunes.
Every cover version of Wonderwall is also pap. It's a song inspired by a film about spying on your naked neighbours through a hole in the wall, which has for some reason been reinterpreted as an anthem to inspire mid-northerners with a sense of solidarity and kinship, by comparing one another to mystical bits of masonry. This is STUPID.

# Really?
I just assumed it got played because Jo Whiley found out she still gets paid by the hour, even when she's not talking.

# agreed, i hated oasis, still do
ordinarily, i wouldn't care about f&tm but she happened to murder one of my favourite tunes and for this she should die a thousands deaths

can i say that without being arrested for being some kind of terrorist, ala paul chambers?

# not sure how much the song is about the film
I think Noel just nicked the title from the George Harrison soundtrack album
