Signs Of The End Days #1: That New Mika Song
God knows I've heard some appalling records in my time, but this is really something else. I figured the worst consequence of the Scissor Sisters crossover camp pop/disco/credibility success would be Orson. Never in my darkest nightmares could I have forseen the horror of the new Mika record. I've heard modem dial up noise less abrasive than this mindless sub-Leo Sayer dirge. Note to record companies: Scissor Sisters sold a billion records 'cos they write good songs and have something of an off-Broadway edge to them. Replicating their success is not simply a case of paying some fool with an afro to screech over a re-heated disco beat like Freddie Mercury with his balls in a vice.
