I enjoyed them (Wild Beasts, that is; not sold on Blue Roses, though she was better supporting St. Vincent last month) and thought the Two Dancers stuff sounded ace, but what was with Devil’s Crayon being played perilously slow?

I have to confess I didn’t give it much time, sorry. I walke down, listened to half a dozen songs, was underwhelmed, and wandered off. So perhaps I owe the lass some proper attention before making stupid statements, but then I really was’t at all grabbed by the album either so she might just not be for me.

But then, I think Joanna Newsom’s shit too.

Unfortunately I can’t argue re your statement about there being “nothing musically there” with Blue Roses on the basis I haven’t listened to the album – but I suspect it’s the converse – there is so much musically there that it’s difficult to enjoy without a degree of effort.

Having said that I’m sure you gave it some effort so, well, this is pointless I suppose…

I liked her voice.

I think WB’s fash has improved – last time I saw them they were wearing grandad shirts and braces – they looked like they’d just come out of the coalmines or something.

Really?

Look at him there, which his denim jacket.
And his rolled up sleeves.

And his friend there, with the hat.

It’s not 1987, guys.

I didn’t go to this gig. Or listened to Wild Beasts. Or read the above review.

But judging from the photograph, I don’t like them.
