Guillemots - 'Annie Let's Not Wait'

2007 is going to be a very interesting year. For some reason, the singer-songwriter division of the pop army is showing signs that looking very intently at its own feet and moaning on about bad feelings in a mopey way is no longer the giddy thrill it once was, and that other emotions might be worth singing about too.

GuillemotsBut the tricky bit is deciding which emotion to sing about first. Happiness? Boredom? Anger? The warm contentment of waiting for a bus in a good coat when you're not in a hurry and it's windy but not raining? How about ALL OF THESE THINGS AT ONCE?

Enter Fyfe Dangerfield and his merry menandwomen, who all seem to have flip-top heads which open at key moments in their songs so that a massive rainbow can burst out and splatter the sky. And no ordinary rainbow either. Theirs contains all that is good and all that is bad and all that is not-quite-good and not-quite-bad, all spread out across the clouds, filed according to colour and doing a happy little jig within its own little spectrum as it streams out of the collective Guille-head.

Which, I'm sure you'll agree, does rather cast all those moany trouba-bores in a rather bad light...
