Scumbag Philosopher

There's a lot to be said for being a miserable and cynical and (possibly) in your late thirties. It means you've seen fashions come and go at least three times, you can remember the Soviet Union, and you can moan about how much a packet of Quavers used to be when they weren't an extortionate 47p like they are today.

It also means you can laugh really hard at those who seem to think that every movement they make during the day (and I'm including those of the bowel in this) should be so instantly fascinating that they have to share it with the world. You know the sort...

Now, I'm not averse to being a gobshite all over the internet, and I can be as needy as the rest of them when it comes down to it, but it's rather satisfying to know that, out there in deepest Norfolk, there's a band who are writing splendid songs about that thing they call "social networking".

Before Scumbag Philosopher were called Scumbag Philosopher, they were called Fuck Dress. Suffice to say, they're never going to make it onto Radio 2 with that kind of attitude, but they are going to make it onto my Great List of Songs 2010, with 'Social Networking Site' - the video to which you are about to enjoy...



So, whilst the internet might have given us a load of self-obsessed, whining morons (physician, heal thyself!), it's also been responsible for this ace pop song. Lol, :-), etc...
