Another half-baked 'theory'

Adele - who isn’t the one who pretends to cry outside tube stations but the one who can actually be quite funny when she isn’t being a sullen sod - has got a new song out, called ‘Cold Shoulder’.

Obviously, it is terrible, but the accompanying remix by Basement Jaxx - who are not the ones who did that one about block rockin’ beats but the ones who collaborated with JC Chasez - is literally quite good indeed.

This reminds us of the time Adele burped out the not-as-terrible-and-actually-quite-good-if-you’re-in-a-tearful-Sunday-night-sort-of-mood ‘Hometown Glory’ as a single, in that it too was improved by a bit of tweakery, courtesy of Night Facilities.

Which must mean it’s time for a massive generalisation!

Here it comes.

Adele‘s music: not very good unless it’s a remix.

Right.
