It's Friday evening, I have jacket potatoes warming up in the oven. I couldn't thnk of anything much better to do than listen to The Delgados and drift somewhere else. Across space and time. That after all is what it's there for. The Delgados understand nuance which is not just one of my favourite words but one of my favourite things,.
Hate is a strangely named record because it doesn't feel like the currency they trade in. But at a certain point they declare that Hate is all you need. That's what Rock & Roll is there for, Any number of people got outraged when Dylan was awarded but really it's outrageous that no Rock & Roll figures had been awarded it before. Rock & Roll has pushed on human discourse.
Hate is a great noel that now doesn't need to be written or read. The record rises and swells magically like a wonderful evening with friends or family. .The Delgados ynderstand beauty and poetry,
