Nigel Buxton: Self - BaaadDad

Quotes 

• BaaadDad : [commenting over the music video for 'Tubthumping' by Chumbawamba]  This is the most unpleasant performance that one has ever seen. I get knocked down occasionally and like everybody else I get up again because I have to. I certainly don't go around shouting about it in the sort of obscene way that these amazingly ugly performers do. "He drinks a whiskey drink, he drinks a vodka drink, he drinks a lager drink, he drinks a cider drink." What on Earth are we meant to conclude from that, except some sort of proof of their hideous indiscretion and bad taste? Chumbawamba, that sounds very much to me like what one might expect them to be doing in the gutter. I gather that they're meant to be subversive, I can't think that they would subvert anything, because they're totally inconsequential. A pathetic joke, I would have thought. One rather wishes they would all fall down and not get up at all.

• BaaadDad : So my pick of the week is Hanson with 'MMMbop'. Fresh pop from these invigorating, enthusiastic young ladies.
