On the Tube home tonight, coming home from work, I was visited by SOUPS. That’s Sudden Onset Unexplained Pissed-Off Syndrome. Just a surprising and unexpected bit of grumpiness. And the only thing I could find to cheer me up was John Grant’s marvellously cantankerous “Chicken Bones”, which starts off as apparently chirpy easy-rock before rapidly descending into massive cob-on territory.

Fantastic. I think I’m finally starting to grow to like last year’s Queen Of Denmark, despite being a bit grumpy about it originally.

I’m not always grumpy, you know, honest. Come back tomorrow for some more swearing.
