I spent this last weekend packing boxes and listening to Cookies, the excellent debut album from the Scottish band 1990s (Note to bands: I know band names like “1990s” and “!!!” are cool and abstract, but it makes it really difficult to google your damn band). The album is filled with sharp little pop songs, focusing on the two eternal rock song subjects; doing drugs and girls.
While the album mostly features short, sharp guitar powered tunes, Cookies takes a detour on the album’s finale, “Situation,” invoking Television, the legendary NYC band, with its purposeful mispronunciation of the word “Situation,” to its interlude of interlocking guitar leads. As I have said before, if you are going to rip off a band, make sure it’s a good one, and Marquee Moon-era Television is mighty fine place to start.
The pop song…
…the Television homage…
