Darkness single woman

One of my ambitions was to be able to play air guitar as good as Bill and Ted, so off I traipsed down to my local GT Sports for that age old air guitar accessory, the tennis racket.

Sadly, it's been lying under my bed now for a good six or more years, destined for a lifetime in a charity shop window, or worse still, the dustbin.

But not any more, 'cos thanks to The Darkness, my trusty old tennis racket is set for a new lease of life!

Here's some free advice if you hear this record driving home from work tonight. Pull the car over and unfasten your seat belt, because you will not be able to sit still for more than 20 seconds of the opening riff without thrusting your head backwards and forwards in a repetitive motion and cradling that imaginary guitar beneath your wasteline.

Well, unless you're tone deaf that is, in which case, you probably shouldn't be driving that car in the first place.

Whatever next? David St Hubbins in Slazenger advertising campaign?

You read it here first...

Re: The Darkness - Get Your Hands Off My Woman

well, I'm none the wiser after reading this coquettishly oblique review...

Re: The Darkness - Get Your Hands Off My Woman

Toby,

And I'll say this in a masculine non-flirtatious manner that doesn't diverge from it's horizontal trajectory...

The Darkness rule (for 1 week only) so may I suggest you get your arse down to Selectadisc or wherever you buy your CDs from and do yourself and Top Of The Pops a favour by pushing 'Get Your Hands Off My Woman' to it's rightful place in the Top 20...

Or else I'll come round your house and force you to swallow another 3 dictionaries.

Dom


Re: The Darkness - Get Your Hands Off My Woman

they're fucking shit. That xfm live performance they did was embarrasingly bad.

Re: The Darkness - Get Your Hands Off My Woman

i can't make my mind up about them. i saw them at the kerrang weekender and they were a marvel. saw them at the garage and they were quite good fun. "love on the rocks" is the best thing ever. but everytime i hear them on the radio i feel an overwhelming urge to render myself deaf with a chopstick so as to escape the caterwauling. [or, like, turn off the radio yknow.]
