richard Always on the lookout for the opportunity to appear on the fringes of yesterday’s zeitgeist we cooked up a plan to share with you – our faithful – an album choc full of infitessimally predictable and overexposed tunes that you couldn’t possibly have playlisted yourselves. We call it Cook-In – like the sauce you use when no-one’s looking – and it’s inspired by the tunes we like to listen to while we cook up a storm here at Yumblog Towers. From the custard-hued Yellow by Coldplay to the diarrhoea-themed Run by Snow Patrol via perennial favourite Dancing in the Moonlight by Toploader, we feel that there is something for every 30-something white English male out there. And what is more there is a special treat in the guise of up-and-coming band Crimson Order showcasing their fantastic song Hourglass – a classic for our time and featuring the dual drumming antics of Bloggers R and D. Pedestrian and MoR it ain’t.
