B - badly drawn boy, about a boy soundtrack (2002)

b. obviously the natural instinct is to go for blondie, but my head (which is pounding) screamed for something slightly gentler. i had forgotten how much i love this eccentric, lilting album. i remember an ex-boyfriend playing 'something to talk about' on accoustc guitar, and the song - and whole album - always reminds me of sunny mornings overlooking dunedin. breathy, lyrical 'silent sigh' is another favourite but the genius is the full story of the album. whether you like the movie or not (and i do) the album stands alone as a beautiful piece of work. delightful melodic folk-pop for a sunday morning.
