Reasons To Dislike Preston, #375702

“I don’t like it when singles become more like an album in instalments. It’s like chopping it up for the idiots”

In summary:
  • If you can’t afford, or simply don’t want to buy an artist’s “long player”, you’re an idiot.
  • Singles are really just “adverts” for the actual art form here - albums - made by evil marketing men hell bent on stuffing “product” down the necks of unsuspecting “idiots”.

…AND…
  • Singles are for idiots.

…THAT’S…
  • Singles
  • Are
  • For
  • Idiots.

Read that again and just try to NOT boil with rage. It’s impossible. One of the nation’s dullest men has completely missed the point yet again. We’re not going to stay angry for too long though, not over what is little more than such blatant petty jealousy - might we suggest that if Sam was actually capable of writing an album with any singles on it, he might be more enamoured towards their release? And that if this were possible, said singles might then stand a holy-fuck-in-hell’s chance of being anywhere near the chart? He wouldn’t have to bung out ones from four years ago either, come to think of it. The bloody… idiot.
