Jeff's tastes in music
Jeff Stelling is the featured patient in today's Record Doctor feature in the Observer Music Monthly. If you buy an inferior Sunday paper, you can read the article online here.

Re: Jeff's tastes in music
Interesting. I had heard Jeff mention Vampire Weekend a few times on the show, but never thought to check them out. I was actually expecting something gothic, or maybe extreme rock by the name, but they couldn't be more different. Jeff admits there that he doesn't like them really, but just checking them on YouTube they seemed pretty good. They have clever lyrics which you can understand too, which is always a big plus for me, and who better for a Countdown running joke than a group who sings about punctuation and grammar.Phil Reynolds wrote:Jeff Stelling is the featured patient in today's Record Doctor feature in the Observer Music Monthly.

Re: Jeff's tastes in music
That picture of Jeff with the guitar makes him look really menacing.
If that guitar was replaced with either an axe or a truncheon, he could easily look like a serial killer. Maybe, after he ditches the goalie gloves too.

Re: Jeff's tastes in music
He talks about Vampire Weekend as if they are Cannibal Corpse or something, he didn't sound impressed in the slightest.
Which is odd, as I always had them down as fairly appropriate fare for middle aged people. My mum certainly likes them.

Ha - that's a fun video. Was it really shot as one continuous take? I hope so.Derek Hazell wrote:I had heard Jeff mention Vampire Weekend a few times on the show, but never thought to check them out.

Re: Jeff's tastes in music
Apologies Dez. Genuinely hadn't seen your message before I posted that! Hey, they're still hugely popular for youngsters too, so just because you like them it doesn't make you old, honest! Er, I mean it doesn't make you middle aged, honest.Derek Hazell wrote:The first cut is the deepest, Matt.Matt Morrison wrote:He talks about Vampire Weekend as if they are Cannibal Corpse or something, he didn't sound impressed in the slightest.

'My Sherona' by The Knack. I'll give Jeff a brownie point for that.
