I think this is the best thing I've read about it. "Best" meaning "I agree" of course.

Yes good on Lorde for "Melodrama". Joel Little’s production on "Pure Heroine" always sounded hermetic to me but that now she’s got pianos and guitars and strings she’s sounding like the natural she obviously is. What is it though with favouring producers who used to be in previously useless guitar pop bands? Who’s next? Does someone from Fall Out Boy have a relevant CV?
I’m boosting SZA’s "CTRL" to anyone who’ll listen. She was on Rihanna’s ANTI which I own on vinyl and have built a small votive shrine to in the basement. Also, her name is pronounced “scissor” which is triple word score shit as far as I’m concerned.

I know it's singularly graceless to mention - but there are at least 30 FN songs (including Cruise Control) that would come before George on a 'mostly likely to be a hit' list.
If only Sneaky Feelings had twigged that all they had to do was call Fiona McDonald.

Flying Nun's sole No 1 was Headless Chicken's wasn't it? And it was "George" not "Cruise Control". I have a weird memory of "Boodle Boodle Boodle", although it was an EP, somehow being anointed top of the charts back in 1982 or whenever the hell it was. That might be the brain plaque talking but it feeeels correct.
On a different note ......
I'm afraid my Yoruba is a touch rusty but apparently the object of the titular demand is Boko Haram. And that is Eno Williams, easily the best dressed woman in England.

My God surely not! I've been snickering at that line for 36 years. We need clarification from top experts now.

We got the news in the car driving home just as The Church's "Unguarded Moment" pops up on Spotify. Sure enough, at the 3 minute mark what do we hear but a perfectly executed Chuck Berry guitar rip. In some random Aussie 80s psych pop. He is forever with us. A titan.

That woman was a passive aggressive nightmare. Those poor kids were so traumatised they had to weaponise irony and invent Silverchair just to remain psychically intact.
