Fucking Noddy (Revisited)
Whenever James sends me a tune I know I'll have to lean in that little bit closer; I always know it'll either have bangeresque status or somesuch superhero qualities. And 'Broke' certainly straddles both of the above attributes. Yes, it may be downbeat - think Baxter Dury chained to the same radiator as Mike Skinner - but as James wrote in his accompanying text - ''It's got Fucking Noddy vibes running all the way thru it." He's not wrong. I hope you enjoy it as much as I do.
The album of the same name it comes from is truly wonderful. Lavene is, from everything I've read about him, a total maverick. I must get hold of George and compare notes.
George stumbled across this guy while writing about Fray Bentos pies over on my blog a while back. I keep meaning to investigate further.
