I almost cannot bring myself to visit this great evil on people I know and love, be warned if you want to ruin your recollection of one of the greatest songs of the 90s then take in this abomination!

As a yoof who has no real knowledge or appreciation of the original versions of the songs he's covered, I generally really like his work, and the album

Spudnik would agree with me, but Spudnik isn't here.

This might help

Sucks.

Charlatans/Oasis/Sheds/OCS etc. are the main kinds of music I still listen to along with more modern stuff. You can argue that he's bringing it to a new audience but frankly I could live without that. It just seems to me like a subtle way of turning great but under appreciated songs into easy listening. Adding a trumpet and recording it with a pop singer is just sacrilege unless you're trying to be ironic. It's unfortunate that he isn't.

At least he didn't choose 'One To Another'. Then I would have had to kick a puppy.

I love the cover of Oh My God with Lilly Allen.
