Norbert Fragg: Spot the Limey

13 January 2007

I must swear you all to secrecy. Norbert Fragg, that demurring, bombast averring guitarist, is currently in the covert employ of the Her Majesty’s Really Useless Intelligence Agency! For wages equivalent to two unkosher goy lattes (as well as a promise to finance yet another definitive remix, remake and remaindering of that infamous Twenty First Century Scherzandoid, Thing Dismal masterpiece: The Power to Be Peeved) the detail-oriented Norbert has forsaken precious moments of instrumental chastisement, to ponder the characteristic characteristics that identify the John Bulls and Bulimiae, from tediously nasal South Afrikaners, offensively polite Canadians, shrimp sucking Australians, Academy Award winning New Zealanders with their 30 odd feet of grunts, and paunchy Americans who can no longer don the marginally gay apparel of their misspent youth, and thus wax nostalgic for whirling pianos, spinning drum kits, pratty pants, lame capes, tambourine-smacking tenors in white suits and the epic profundities of 23 minute, double sided, indubitably dense, prog rock toot suites.
