Find the door and walk out to the sun

I saw Ash once, a long, long time ago. At Maxwell's. When there wasn't a girl in the band. The cute little singer boy was wearing a pirate shirt. They played about 40 songs in the space of an hour. Heidi sat outside. Rebecca and I got Ash out of our systems for good.

This past Monday TtIKtDA posted some stuff by the new-to-me-since-I-stopped-paying-attention-so-long-ago girl from Ash, Charlotte Hatherley. There's a tune called Summer in particular...it's a bloody mess: a false start; you can't tell what's verse and what's chorus for at least three spins; the lyrics equate a bedroom to a cocoon in best Juliana-Hatfield-high-school-poetry stylee; there's a honky tonk piano that kicks in about a minute into the song.

But once it gets going, oh oh oh it's the best damn song of the season. I don't want to go to bed, because there aren't any handclaps when you're sleeping. Go download.

Just had a listen to Summer - it is pretty good, even if I'm not much of a guitar girl these days.
