What we say

Rating: unmoved This record left our Ant feeling unmoved.

Phil knows everything. I'm not kidding. He knows this weeks lottery numbers. He also knows that ALBERT HAMMOND Jr is some dude from The Strokes. I think it's him on the sleeve (Albert, not Phil) wearing a crisp pear of white jeans. I bet he just put them on to get the shot and then whipped them straight off. I defy any human man to keep a pair of white jeans clean. It simply isn't possible. '101' sounds like a The Strokes lite. Or Diet Strokes. Radio friendly enough but maybe not quite catchy enough to be as successful as the Strokes. You can buy Strokes albums at you're local super market but I doubt the'll be stocking this CD single or it's two 7" counterparts which are out on Rough Trade which is a British indie institution. Prison is also an institution but I wouldn't want to go there... am talking shit again...
