In the December 2004 issue of NME Magazine, Dan gave his opinion on particular songs by the following bands - The Libertines, The Others, Franz Ferdinand & Keane.
Quote:
The Libertines: "Can't Stand Me Now"
Daniel: "Brilliant. Love it. I'm a massive Libertines fan. It's not my favourite track off the album, but it's wonderful, beautiful, fantastic, and incredibly sad."
The Others: "This Is For The Poor"
Daniel: "I really like this song. However, I feel like I'm being made to feel guilty. I like to think that I'm not a typical schoolboy, and stuff, but I do feel very guilty when listening to this song. I prefer Stan Bowles 'cos it's guilt-free."
Franz Ferdinand: "Take Me Out"
Daniel: "Brilliant, fantastic, just great! When I first heard it, it didn't immediately grab me, but it's infectious. You just find yourself humming it. And the album....but it's not my favourite on the album, it's erm....erm....'Matinee'."
Keane: "Bedshaped"
Daniel: "I'm not a big Keane fan. I mean it's nice enough but it doesn't make me dance, it doesn't make me happy, and it doesn't make me sad."
I disagree with him about Keane, the chorus is wonderfully heartfelt but their music isn't meant to make you dance, it's meant to make you listen to the lyrics but to each his own.
