Aah records...big ones (remember that indie thing when 12"s were the devil?), little ones (five inchers - bless), fat ones (that extra thick vinyl - yummy!), skinny ones (flexis that go flip, flap, wurble), shiney ones (grudging nod to cds), coloured ones (The Lollies' cranberry coloured 'Channel Heaven' - impossible not to lick) and ones with pictures on (it's kind of disconcerting dropping the needle onto 'The Holy Bible' with the Manics staring mournfully up at you). We all love them (unless we're some kind of freak). Bands send me their records. I listen to them. Then I write down whatever pops into my head. And I call it a review. Simple.
For those of you who like to cut to the chase and just read the last line of a review to get the gist without all the preceding wordy flim-flam, Kitten Painting is proud to present Roget’s Random Review Generator (RRRG). Through the magic of opening Roget’s Thesaurus at random and picking the first three words to catch the eye, RRRG will sum up the record in a pithy three-word statement. Bands are welcome to use these statements on press releases, ads, etc. Mark E. Smith is welcome to use these statements as lyrics.
