I gave the youtube clip 59 seconds before coming to the conclusion that this was an outtake from Smack The Pony spoofing the Darling Buds, and that it hadn't been deemed strong enough to warrant inclusion in their last series on Channel 4. Hello Toad

nice blog, nice means of getting a response!

I gave the youtube clip 59 seconds before coming to the conclusion that this was an outtake from Smack The Pony spoofing the Darling Buds, and that it hadn’t been deemed strong enough to warrant inclusion in their last series on Channel 4.

Judging from her background and the fairly high production quality of the video, I would hazard a guess that she comes from a wealthy background and daddy is bankrolling her attempts to be famous. I could be wrong but, I just don't like it. She can’t sing,as has been mentioned she’s flat.

Ok now this was pretty interesting. Matthew put up three tracks by ‘From’ and gave everyone a day to listen to the tracks and leave a comment with their thoughts. The interesting part is that he published the comments all at once, giving everybody the chance to give their honest opinion without being influence by the comments of others. Very cool. I can inform you that I was not impressed at all by this artist, but I will let you read the other comments to see how my opinion compared to the others. In addition to being a great way to get uninfluenced opinions, I also thought it was an excellent strategy to bring an artist to the attention of others. While her gear wasn’t at all my cup of tea, I don’t think I would’ve even listened had it not been for the inventive way Matthew chose to present it. Check it out.

Certainly more succinctly. I always felt that we gravitated to flat indie singing because it reminded us of music in pubs and there was comfort there. Maybe it's just that the best song writes aren't necessarily the best singers. And visa versa.
