So, before I have the brass neck to write a song and craft a sound with my two compadres or-god forbid-open my mouth in front of a microphone once again I will try and remember this.

But not for long.

Things is, I reckon there are four ways to dislike a piece of music

1. Something that is so awful you burst out laughing and just want to tell everyone about it in the world so that they can agree how utterly horrendous it is, and the you all go down the pub chuckling about it.
2. Something that is so awful you want to track down those responsible and hurt them until they understand they must never do this again, ever, and you want to warn the world away from the danger of listenig to this music..
3. Something that comes on the radio, or what have you, and you don’t like it, and your brain just filters out that information, and later you couldn’t even describe what it was about the music you hated. You can listen to these review CDs 10 times over & not be able to recall anything except a sense of listlessness.
4. Something, like this album, that you just can’t get a grip on, that you just can’t *like* even though you know there’s nothing about it that upsets you.

So there you go, I only dislike it in the nicest possible way ; ). Also, I don’t know much about Grant, but Martin & Rex have been involved in some of my favourite Oxford music in the last five years, so I’m as surprised as you that I don’t get it!

I’m not a rabid slavering Pulp fan either, in case you wondered, they just kept springing to mind that day, for some reason.

The album isn’t on MySpace (something I am sure that Grant will address shortly) – but it is available on Napster, iTunes, Amazon.

Oh – and Grant is called grant because – erm – that’s his name.

Looking forward to other Big Red Sky artist reviews

(Listening to the ol’ Myspace now – blimey, it’s a synthier Chameleons! Which is A-OK by me, though I’m not wildly fond of the voice either, but digging the rest and the listed influences are intriguing)
