Those diamonds on the soles of your shoes must be soo annoying as well.

it's like chandler in 'friends' when he is being sarky to ross
"oh no, two women love me. they're both sexy and gorgeous. my wallet's too small for my fifties and my diamond shoes are too tight".

A worse bunch of shite is almost impossible to find.
The only thing good about those cunts is that their name sounds like a sex toy.

Graceland is one of the best albums I've ever heard
and they were a big part of it.

Have you only ever heard one album?
It's fucking appalling.

It's excellent. You just have no taste in music.

It's ghastly, cod-african shit.

Heh, and a very good day to you, Sir.
Ray Phiri (King Sunny ade's guitarist)played some guitar on that album. I like a bit of King Sunny Ade.

I loathe the odious little turd.
The only good thing he did was stiff all of the African musicians whose shitty 'sunshine' music he so mercilessly robbed for his own profit. Other than that, he is a total bender.

My father
introduced me to some excellent music - none of this middle-class WOMAD pseudo-ethnic dinner party toss.

'Oh wow, put Graceland on, I just love the African rhythms - you must try this not-actually-very-good New World wine. House prices, school catchment areas ...'

Mine introduced me to The New Seekers
So fuck you for liking what your Dad put on. Mine listened to shit.

I had
50's rock'n'roll and doo wop, 60s garage rock, some psychedelia, reggae...

To my eternal shame over a period of a couple of years I nicked hundreds of records off my dad and sold them for pot. It all came back on me though, and a few years ago he gave me his record collection and all the good ones were 'missing'.

I'm I right in thinking that your Dad was in the church? He must have been the coolest vicar/priest/wharever IN THE WORLD
Generally my Dad didn't like music.

That will be your seventh level of hell.
