Falling – The Wedding Present I like this version a lot. While not soaring to where the Julee Cruise and Angelo Badalamenti version does, the Wedding Present do very well with what they have. Namely, guitars, distortion and David Gedge’s voice. It’s in other ways still quite beautiful. Not for evocation of the show itself, [...]

Crawl

Crawl – The Wedding Present The first Wedding Present song to completely overwhelm me, to stop me in my tracks, and leave me with a new favourite band. It just moves from wonderfulness to wonderfulness. Acoustic guitar with slightly fuzzed bass, David Gedge in one of his rare softly sung moments, to the instrumental bit [...]

2, 3, Go – The Wedding Present This is them in 1996. They are a bit of a lad’s band, aren’t they? Like blokey, afternoons at the pub, calling them “Weddoes”, a resurgence band for those who were young in the late 80′s/early 90′s who’ve lost their youth in both appearance and ideals but not [...]
Convertible

Convertible – The Wedding Present Finally, some later era Wedding Present, which, as time would have it, has become a middle era Wedding Present. The Wedding Present: 25 years in the industry. This would be from the Cooking Vinyl era then, just before Cinerama became active. A little slower, a little softer, Jayne Lockey on [...]
Once More

Once more – The Wedding Present For as popular, simple, three-chordy, fun, and i guess influential as the Wedding Present were, there is really no other band in the world who sounds like them. In the whole near thirty years of their existence, has no one really tried to imitate them? Maybe they’re too idiosyncratic, [...]
I’m Not Always So Stupid

I’m not always so stupid – The Wedding Present GodDAMMIT! What i think is happening is that, in anticipation of the morning and the song, i dread what’s to come and think “wouldn’t it be just awful if another Wedding Present song were to be on my mind this morning.” That consternation and thought in [...]
This Boy Can Wait

This Boy Can Wait – The Wedding Present Damn, my minds playing tricks on me. Let’s just call this Wedding Present Week. I love the strumming of the guitars on this. I guess it’s their trademark: Fast, arthritis giving, washboard sounding guitars played as frantically as a pop song allows. It is such a good [...]
Don’t Talk, Just Kiss

Don’t talk, just kiss – The Wedding Present This just just getting silly. It’s not like i’m trying in my daily life to rectify some wrong, listening to them incessantly, determined to implant them in my mind for this occasion. I can’t explain it. There’s only so many things i can say about the Wedding [...]
