What we say

Rating: happy This record left our Phil feeling happy.

On the cover of the new Scout Niblett CD 'This Fool Can Die Now' she's shooting lazer beams from her eyes. Am extremely jealous as that's a super power I've always fancied.... All I can do is shoot fowl smelling gas out of my arse and make people cry. It's hardly constructive and you know I'm not gonna be in the next season of Heroes with powers like that. Shame cos I reckon I'd really spice it up. The opener of this is great... I've never been a massive fan but it features Scout & Will Oldham bouncing off each other to make a very moving piece of music. I've always found her a bit shriek(ish) and more often than not wish she'd not bother singing. This whole album sounds more coherent and her voice is not annoying. Maybe I'm getting more tolerant as I can't imagine she's changed? Anyway there's some quiet songs on this... some with crazy arrangements, some are well rocking.... She's a law unto herself this woman and in this day of blandness whether you like her or not she's to be commended for trooping on. Nice.

What the label says:

Scout Niblett’s fourth full-length album, recorded with Steve Albini & featuring a rhythm section of Kristian Goddard & Chris Saligoe, while Will Oldham (aka Bonnie ‘Prince’ Billy) contributes vocals.
On the first track, ‘Do You Wanna Be Buried With My People’, Scout Niblett’s mournful pleas glide alongside Will Oldham’s emotive vocals. The skeletal ‘Moon Lake’, a signature Scout drums-and-vocals song, sits alongside the vocal harmonies.
·From the impassioned voice of ‘Baby Emma’ and the plaintive cries of ‘Nevada’ to the guitar-driven indignation of ‘Let Thine Heart Be Warmed’ and ‘Your Last Chariot’, ‘This Fool Can Die Now’ is a body of fourteen songs that traverse a spectrum of charged emotions from yearning and grief to resignation and acceptance.

About the humble CD:

The CD is essentially a small portable face mirror which has an extra feature of being able to play music (through a thing known as a CD player). These CD's are a modern invention hence them being all shiny and digital. They can hold about 80 minutes of music and apparently are indestructible as you can smear jam on them and they still play (not as nourishing as toast mind you but when you're hungry.....). They sound crystal clear and are tiny convenient things. They lack the charm and warmth of their old analogue counterparts but their portability, convenience and ease of being duplicated make them a perfect thing of a thing for most folks. Jewel cases are the worst thing ever though and they really need to stop.
