Anonymous said...: Good Simon: Prick Up Your Ears

Bad Simon: Louis XIV, admit it you were so beguiled by the brilliant name that you neglected to listen to the tunes (rather like the band, actually)

Dunno Simon: Fiona Apple, Kate Bush (although my money's on the latter); 16/10/05 1:13 pm
Anonymous said...: Fuck that. Louis XIV kick ass. Mysogynistic sleazebags, but heck, I'm a girl and I don't care. Who else can get away with a 'who's your daddy?'

Although a world of ridicule has to be reserved for the NME, who rather sniffily only gave them a 7 for being 'too trendy'. All of about a month before they put out the Cool List... idiots.; 16/10/05 3:19 pm
Anonymous said...: While I won't claim to know the inner workings of the NME, and while I wouldn't rush to defend their either, I think they gave it a 7 because the tunes weren't all there despite the band being 'trendy'.; 16/10/05 8:05 pm
Simon Hayes Budgen said...: Thing about Louis XIV is that I'm prepared to forgive a lot for a decent hook, and the bit in 'Finding Out...' where they suddenly come on like the DiVinyls is enough to earn them a chance.; 16/10/05 9:46 pm
