Damien Rice and David Gray are the same person, in case you hadn't noticed. Remember when you were a kid and you sliced that worm in half with a bit of broken glass, and it morphed itself into two brand new worms? Well, that's the clever marketing trick David Rice's record company used on him. Two worms, twice the profit.
Trouble is, they got a bit too cocky and sliced a third bit of worm off, resulting in what is now known as "James Blunt". In a desperate bid to win him some credibility they then asked Paul Weller if he'd duet with him at last year's Brit Awards.
"Thanks," replied Weller. "But I'd rather eat my own shit."

At least David Gray is good though.
ReplyDeleteha ha-- I totally forgot that about worms. Oh wow-- poor little guys. It is an interesting phenomenom. I do get all of those guys confused.
ReplyDeleteAnd then there's the female worm who became Dido, KT Tunstall, Sandi Thom and possibly Corrine Bailey Rae.
ReplyDeleteYes indeed!
ReplyDeleteI believe that Michael and Janet Jackson were the proof of concept for this recording artist cloning procedure...
you're beautiful. you're beautiful. you're beautiful. it's true. i saw your face. in an empty... place(?) and i don't know what to dooo.
ReplyDeleteCurly only thinks David Gray is any good because he's Welsh.
ReplyDeleteOshi, now that I think about it, the music industry really is just 3 or 4 big worms that have been chopped up into tiny little pieces. Except for the odd few snakes: Björk, PJ Harvey, The Streets, Tricky, Kylie.
I'm not a fan of Gray himself, he used to play football against some of my mates and they don't hold him in high regard. Twat, is how one described him
ReplyDeleteI can't stand any of them except Paul Weller, who I never had much time for up until hearing that quote. Now I'm his biggest fan.
ReplyDeleteAw shucks. I enjoy that James Blunt song. How they pass each other in the subway, they lock eyes and see their whole lives, and she's with someone new, and he's still looking for her face in others... it's so, real, and sad. ::sigh:: Maybe I am just a sucker.
