More saints!Can one listen to the new Saint Etienne double best-of London Conversations and not notice that Sarah Cracknell can't really sing (he wondered)? She's a posh dollybird, for shizzle. And bonus points for her dad doing something [looking...ah! first assistant director] on early seventies James Bond movies, sure. But, like Madonna, she's there on the records, but her presence is so thin (not ethereal) it's kind of bizarre.
Which reminds me: Greg Dulli can't sing either.
Still, one has to give them respect for a.) making stomping disco records, b.) being unknown in the US and C.) being old.
