9.7.05

The bar is raised higher (or should that be lower?)

Forget Interpol's top-40-missing rerelease of Slow Hands or Kaiser Chiefs' forthcoming pointless I Predict A Riot return, the most rubbish indie single rerelease crown has been taken by far as news comes through that Long-view are going to release Further again.

This was the band's debut single in mid-2002 when they were called Longview and seemed at least vaguely exciting to someone who thought that a band sounding like an inferior version of Elbow was exciting. It was rereleased (complete with Elbow remix, heh) around a year later ahead of their (terrible, overproduced, nothing compared to their live show) debut album Mercury and made the top 40. Fair enough.
But here we are 2 years and 2 new singles more later and they are shoving out a barely distinguishable remix of it again. Can anyone possibly still care? What the fuck is the point?

At least Heather Small has some small excuse...
