Foals Review Timbaland! (Nearly)
Huddle up, chickabiddies, I bring you a tale of frustration and woe.
ChartBlog likes Foals (the band, although we're fairly partial to young horses too), and ChartBlog also reviews a lot of songs. Given the chance to interview Yannis again, it seemed natural to try and put these two things together into some kind of amazing feature, where Foals are our guest reviewers, and get to air their thoughts about modern music in general, and Timbaland's new song 'Scream' in particular.
Well, that's not how it happened. There were no end of problems getting through on the phone, and then it became very clear that Yannis (and his bandmate Jack) were ill-prepared for the task in hand, not to mention distracted by the NME Awards, to which they were on their way.
You join us after many attempts to dial Yannis's phone, and then sudden success on Jack's...

Now I come to think about it, something like this level of chaos happened the last time Foals met ChartBlog. Artistic types, eh?
(It's important to say that none of this is the band's fault, and that they did a magnificent job, in the circumstances).
Here's the Mystery Jets/Laura Marling song we ended up talking about. Good, innit?
PS: There will be more on this tomorrow. Let's just say Steve is NOT happy...
