It's 2007 and Radio 1 is playlisting to death a chillout version of a Smiths song.

I also think it may actually be good, but then I have this weird affliction that means that I overrate all Mark Ronson songs, even though he's a dick.

Youtube sez: "This is horribly dumbed-down, watered down lame cover version of a classic indie song. Why out of all the songs to cover, did he cover this one? The lyrics don't mean anything to the mindless chavs who will buy it."

I don't know.

I was planning to like this but I can't really.

Anything that annoys Smiths fans is classic.

I've never heard it and nor do I want to.

It's ok. Pretty standard xfm fodder. I'd rather hear a horribly dumbed-down, watered down(*) lame cover version of a classic indie song than some shit new thing by audio fi or the hard bullies, right off the production line and into the latest carling black label ad campaign.

(*) "watered down" is hardly fair either

its all about the return of the OTT 80s styled horn sections really isn't it ?

the 'version' of apply some pressure is funny, but the only one i know is totally shit .. but will sell by the bucketload as it has Robbie W on it.

The best song on the album is the Jam cover!
