Sigh ...

[blamebrampton]

I discovered today that there are many people who do not know this song. Which is a tragedy, as it is truly an anthem for our times. In the face of the all fairly grim men battling to run Britain, the monkeys at BP, the Rudd govt's ETS backflip and no doubt thousands of other short sighted and moronic decisions made by elected officials and non-elected CEOs this month, and with a special tip of the hat to Greece where the average person was apparently shocked to discover that rampant corruption and tax evasion is bad for an economy, I give you Jarvis Cocker's finest hour. Warning: contains one rude word, a lot.

Sigh, indeed.

Jarvis is always at his best when he's angry IMO (I Spy, This is Hardcore, Cocaine Socialism), and this is my favourite of his solo tracks. So I'm just going to watch the video and try and forget about the outside world for a few minutes.
