Randomly scrolling through the posts and caught this one. I disagree - he CAN still sing. He just chooses not to work so hard at it. (Maybe he took a hint from the late Kurt Cobain and realized that he didn't have to even try to hit the notes on-key in order to be successful.) I still love McCartney's music. The Kooks? Hmmmm. I find them a little offensively exhuberant. Like the Beatles on meth. |

Heard this song about 30 times now, and just realized that the drums sound frickin' awesome! Maybe just the mood I'm in...

This was Apple's free iTune of the Week in May-June 2007. I liked it for quite a while but it's wearing thin with me.

Every time he sings "oohlah" it reminds me of the Martians' war cry in the rock opera version of War Of the Worlds.

wikiSelf described "musical whores" The Kooks have drawn on a number of varied sources to create their indie pop sound. Listing The Rolling Stones, The Beatles, Bob Dylan and Chris De Burgh among their influences the band have gradually developed both their song writing style and musical presentation over the course of their two albums. <6> |
