"I've been a bad, bad man..."
Here's what I'm saying tonight [1]: Scritti Politti's White Bread Black Beer is the best album thus far of 2006, and is the album that hundreds (thousands?) of indie pop bands have tried (more or less unsuccessfully, compared to this) to make for years.
It's a low-but-hi-fi, a one-man-but-many show, an album made in the back room of a London flat & sounding like it should be heard on movie soundtracks & dancefloors & backyard stereo systems all alike. The album that, if there were justice in the world, would finally give the twee indie-popsters of the world some much-needed sense--this, this, is how you make a pop record.
[1] And for the last three months, but only in my head.

Sounds like a perfect way to make an album. And it's at the iTunes store. Totally purchased.
Well played. :)
