As if Farmer can definitively say who the best band to come out of Wales are. Listened to every Welsh band, have you? What an utter, utter idiot of a man.

Shove it up your oversized hole.

One of my favourite songs of all time.

Bonnie “Prince” Billy - Raining in Darling

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p26kW302T1g

Darling
I can stay awake all night
But i would make mistakes, alright
Cos the body asks so much

Sweet thing
I give you what i reach
Taken what i had to teach
And re-rendered it with such
With such
With such

Oh, it don’t rain anymore
I go outdoors
Where it’s fun to be

Just watching a programme on Robert Plant on BBC2 and he spefically mentions this as being masterful.

Scott Walker - Farmer In The City
