I'm writing an article on the Fratellis album, and was wondering if anybody has any idea what the title is a reference to? It's apparently a film reference. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I hope you say it's mediocre identikit indie shite
hmmm
i'm interviewing them later actually. anything else to add. oh, and I wasn't aware of elvis costello being in many films....
?
Ask them who their favourite over Hackney bands are.
http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0004845/
Shout SHIT SHIT SHIT SHIT SHIT at them
hah!
That was the films in which his songs feature.....thanks anyway......
he's in
the second austin powers film.
He was in The Spy Who Shagged Me
And Notting Hill, I think. And Alex Cox's Straight To Hell. But I'm sure I've read somewhere it's some sort of (Frat)ellis Costello 'joke'.
I trust everyone has seen the NME quote in the album's TV advert.
no
i assume it doesn't say "this band are the fakest load of tripe we've come across since The Kooks' debut record landed on our desks"?
No, of course it doesn't
"The most important album you could own"!
i don't know
if i should laugh or cry.
:'(
well
they are headlining the next nme tour...
The NME review actually says..
"The most important album you could own right now along with Kasabian"
Which makes you wish for more lax gun control in England.
