Roddy Woomble. It's a fun name to say. Say it with me three times. Roddy Woomble. Roddy Woomble. Chumbaw-- I mean, Roddy Woomble. Roddy Woomble's the vocalist to the Scottish indie band Idlewild, which NME described so poetically flattering as "the sound of a flight of stairs falling down a flight of stairs." Of course, though, at that point, Idlewild was more edgy than the music of its time. With lyrics that are just as grammatically complete as an e e cummings' poem, you won't find a real love song with this band. However you'll find energy in the instruments and the broken phrases and thoughts that Woomble sings.
"The words have meanings
Readers have writers
They try without trying
And they lie without lying
And they always lie."
Readers have writers
They try without trying
And they lie without lying
And they always lie."
Hopefully that is enough to kickstart your Monday with some great rock.
