'World at your feet', by Embrace...
is utterly tedious, arse-drippy, and as exciting as going out to a penalty shoot-out in the first knockout round.
As you would expect. Now, who would have done it better?

Three Lions re-re-remix '06?
Not long now
The Hunter Camp is firmly of the opinion of a semi-final spot.

And then out on penalties to either Germany or Argentina
The fundamental cause of the trouble is that in the modern world the stupid are cocksure while the intelligent are full of doubt.

Ha! Six degrees of seperation time. Embrace is managed by Tony Perrin, Perrin managed the m*****n and previously worked with Simon Hinkler in Artery. Hinkler actually called Pete Turner about a vacancy just after Ben Gunn had left the Sisters - but was politiely declined.

Haven't heard it but being Embrace I'm sure it's s**t. Will no doubt soundtrack an early exit for England.

Eg-zak-ter-ly , a World Cup song should be a slightly "tongue in cheek" affair, I hope you don't take this the wrong way Em's, but a band like the Darkness would have done a cracker given the chance IMHO.emilystrange wrote:which is more or less what they said on radio 5 earlier.. htf you gonna sing that in the pub?

no, it's a bloody good idea, but they get enough slating for being a 'joke' band as it is, so...it was rumoured.

I think it was actually after Marx left; so rather than being declined, things just more sort of fizzled out (that is, if you believe "...Tombstones, baby")Karst wrote:Ha!

Perrin of course also managed All About Eve.
Shame he's gotten mixed up in this nonsense now!

Hated that band with a passion ever since they came out on the arse-end of "Britpop". Why are they still here?
