Hate Band Aid 20?
Thursday, November 18, 2004
We do! This farrago of nonsensical styles sloshed together like a bucket of swill is a travesty of the original.
For all its flaws, "Do They Know It's Christmas" was a simple, sledgehammer of a record. Solid and cohesive, a hell of an opening and a rousing chant. Inspired, of the moment and a punch in the face.
But the new single is more like a wet fish sliding over your cheeks. From the initial Dido-pace (and lack of consonants), through the Darkness' twiddly-diddly-look-at-mee-dly, the John-Barnes-rapping of Dizzee Rascal and the final self-congratulatory applause and maracas of a school assembly.
However that doesn't mean we can't support the very deserving charity! Click anywhere on this text and donate £5 (that's £1.01 more than the cost of the single) and salve your conscience without actually having to go out and support this travesty. Then post a reply here confirming your donation and adding some hilariously witty comment.
