Just in time for Halloween
I heard the new 411 song this morning which samples ‘Sour Times’. It seems a bit pointless, really — using a Portishead sample to make a spooky sounding record just ends up creating a mediocre version of Portishead. They should have sampled ‘Mysterons’ and made a really poppy record with it, instead.
Also on the way to work, it struck me how camp ‘Take Me Out’ is, particularly from the point where Alex Thingummy sings “ooo-eee-ooo” onwards. Maybe it’s just me, but I imagine it being performed by a slightly over-dapper, prancing Leslie Phillips-esque figure. Their other songs, unfortunately, have a more plodding, Alfie Bass feel to them.
