I’m pretty sure that I ought to hate Michael Bublé. I deeply loathe the old crooners he apes; surely I should equally despise their upstart modern imitator? And yet, I can muster nothing more than indifference for him.
Almost as puzzling is the fact I don’t hate what I’ve heard of the new Duran Duran album, which was playing quite a lot on Radio 2 at work recently. Historically, I can’t abide Duran Duran (or, in fact, any New Romantic music). But actually, what they’ve played sounds to me like vaguely enjoyable electro-pop. I’m not about to rush out and buy the record or anything, but I don’t mind hearing it on the radio.
Very strange.
I thought he was Michael Ball for ages, it was pretty confusing.
How can you not like Duran Duran, they are no-no-no-notorious.
No-no-no-notorious they may be, but they are also fucking awful.
