So self aware

We've been desperately trying to avoid coming into contact with Come Undone, the new single from Robbie Williams.
But, this morning, the terrible moment came and it was blasting out of the radio before we had time to chuck ourselves out of a window.
It's been trumpeted as the first single that the post-Guy Chambers Robbie has written all by his little self (although we're sure B. Ottestad, A. Hamilton and D. Pierre might have something to say about this), and as such expectations are bound to be high.
So, things we like about it:
» The tune, which is OK.
» The valiant attempt to rhyme "full of shit" with "adamant".
» The fact that it's not Feel, so we know there's no risk of seeing him on our telly riding around on a horse and looking smug.
And things we don't like:
» The rubbish singing from Mr Robbie, especially the high bit at the start.
» The equally rubbish lyrics. We've had just about enough of the self-pitying, "poor-little-me" act. And saying "fuck" doesn't make you look clever, unless you are us.
» The fact that he will just be looking smug in some other video.

About Us

According to Marxist theory, cultural forms such as opera, classical music and the literary works of Shakespeare all fall under the heading of high culture. Low culture refers to a wide variety of cultural themes that are characterised by their consumption by the masses. We might not be Marxists, but we do know we loved Footballers Wives. If you do too, you'll know what this is all about.
