Look who’s back/leaving…Hi fans!
Sadly, this will be my last column for the fine blogular establishment we’ve come to know and love as hip young gunslinger. I’m being shipped out in favour of a new reminscifeature which is starting soon. It doesn’t bother me though, because I’ve thoroughly enjoyed telling you all about my favourite old records, and anyway, there are new Maximo Park albums to get on with and write!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
The last song I intend to tell you about is ‘Forgive’ by Burial. It seems fitting, because listening to this stunning piece of audio music always makes me reflect about endings and sad partings and that bit in Doctor Who when Rose was on the beach and David Tennant wanted to say he loved her but she disappeared and he didn’t have a chance.
You may not know this, but ‘Forgive’ is actually the result of Mr. Burial applying a load of filters to the track ‘Girls’ by Death In Vegas, which is the wishy-washy one they always use to advertise Wales or Ireland or whatever.
The extra studio fuckery gives things a far more harrowing reading, and makes you think less of Dervla Kirwan and more about getting the nightbus home in the pouring rain, pilled off your bonce and full of warm feelings for the pisshead who keeps falling off his chair.
I would heartily recommend you seek out ‘Forgive’ (via legal means, musiclovers!!!!!!) and play it repeatedly until your heart and brain both melt. Then go out and buy a Maximo Park album, and see the similar levels of sonic bravery we bring to the industry.
Peace and love to you all.
PAUL.
