Taught this guy everything I know.
Yes, this site is in need of not one, but two songs from Feargal Sharkey:
Perhaps even more fascinating than Feargal's shiny flowing hair is this:
via Simon Price:
Here's a weird pop fact. With successive singles "A Good Heart" (written by Maria McKee) and "You Little Thief" (written by Benmont Tench), Feargal Sharkey was sining about the same love affair - between McKee and Tench - from two sides, with the writers both using Sharkey as a mouthpiece. The latter was an answer-song to the former, and Sharkey put them next to each other on his album.
Kate Nash:
So the other night I was stressin out and we'd just finished rehearsing and I was like ARGHGHHGHGH I need to write a song and release something and do something creative instead of breaking all my stuff that I own. Linda (the shiny new guitarist) told me to RELEASE THE BEAST! So I did.
The next day I did a couple of interviews and then went straight to work. The girls were kinda like "what who how when and what the crap are you talking about?!" and I was like "no time to explain just trust me, and when we've finished this will be a new song." AND SO IT WAS.
We recorded it, then started shooting a video at 10pm, proceeded to get pretty silly until about 4.00 am and run around being dicks and having fun all over poor Oscar and Steve's (the owners) practice rooms. There was beer, there was cheescake, there was dancing with dogs, there was a LOT OF SHOUTING. I felt a lot better.
So this is a new song and video and a nice intro to my new stuff that was all made, recorded and video-ed in 24 HOURS. Pretty sweet. Rock n roll history? I think so! Wooohooo
Adorable.
Come Back To What You Know- Embrace .............. is a tune

This song is 15 years old. Fifteen. FIFTEEN.
TWENTY years since I saw Belly's first UK show supporting Pavement.
TWENTY THREE years since I first saw Throwing Muses in London.
She's back.
