Fun Lovin Criminals - Classic Fantastic (ALBUM REVIEW)

The Fun Lovin’ Criminals have been around now since they formed in New York in 1993. There alternative hip hop/rock style and injections of jazz, funk and soul, coupled with comedy in the bands lyrics have generally been well accepted by the British Public with their past albums, although I doubt this album, Classic Fantastic will do much chart climbing.

There first album in 5 years and there 6th in total lacks any really good tracks and generally lacks any imagination, the lyrics are horribly simple, even with the inclusion of Roots Manuva on track 5, Keep On Yellin’ There are a few plusses, there’s some good beats and funky rhythms and some good retro 70’s soul, but there is no comedy or fun in the lyrics or vocals to really back up any of the musical merits.

To Push or Not To Push? Atmosphere vs. Personal Space

Whilst making my way towards the stage for the Vampire Weekend set at Coachella this year, I went to make a move between two ladies standing roughly half a metre apart. One of the ladies saw me coming, turned her nose up and shuffled across to fill the space. Being a little drunk and keen to fill the gaps nearer the front, I nudge past with a brief “Sorry Love” as I went. I turned to see her flip me off, which fuelled my antagonistic side and I blew her a kiss before heading further forward just in time to see her turn slowly purple. This was not the first time during this festival that I was met with similar hostility in a sparsely packed crowd and with the UK festival season underway, I began to pose the question, to push or not to push?

Relative newcomers to the festival scene, Chew Lips are tipped to be the next Florence and The Machine in terms of breakthrough artists. The band consist of lead singer Tigs, bassist Will and guitarist James and have been playing music together for just over two years. Compared by many to Hot Chip, the band's style of electro-pop is tinged with Yeah Yeah Yeahs-esque soul that never fails to enthrall their audiences.
