Silent Alarm is alright to be fair. Not sure it deserves to be short-listed on that basis
Didn’t get Bloc Party at all. Sixth form lyrics. Horrible singer who is a cunt.
This is still huge, the first breakdown, mamma mia!
Cognitive dissonance Dave, cognitive dissonance.
Smallman1 It’s sickening unconscious bias, is what it is.

Him and MC were like a Poundland me and BF (RIP)
