Less Folk - More Music from British Comedians




So I came to the realization that there was way too much folk being placed on the iDisk. So I thought I would counter act this by putting up the opposite to folk, a failed music venture from British comedy legend, Ricky Gervais. Apparently Ricky, like every effeminante Brit was in a 80's new Wave band called, Seona Dancing. From what I have cobbled together from allmusic.com and SeonaDancing.com, The music is like all 80's new wave, pretty much crap. I guess it sounds kinda like a New Orderish, Suede, Cure type of thing. I was only able to get through two of the four songs, so I guess I am not the best person to give an honset oppinion. I admit I use to love me some Cure, Depeche Mode, and Information Society, but I was 14 and weird. Seona Dancing is worse then all of those bands. Which is a good thing since Ricky gave us "The Office" and Karl Pilkington. So we can laugh at that rather then seeing Seona Dancing on some god awful VH1 special.

But hey, here it is for you guys. I figure you can go to a party and when "The Office" comes up in conversation you can say, "Hey did you know Ricky Gervais was in a new wave band in '83 called Seona Dancing? I just happen to have it hear on my iPod, wanna listen?"

Put it on, and then sit back drink your Blatz from a can; adjust your trucker hat ever so slightly; unsnap your plaid cowboy shirt to show more of your ironic faded '80's rock tee; gain mega hipster points. Enjoy!
