TRIALS OF VAN OCCUPANTHER was my favourite album of 2006... so imagine my disappointment when Tim Smith turned out to be a right tit - so pleased with himself he couldn't even be bothered to sing in tune. Love the band, can't stand his phoney over-excitement and wanky hand gestures... somebody tell him just to sing the songs and let the music do the expressing! Also to stop ingratiating himself with celeb fans like the ever-dreary Paul Weller, who came on to add his non-voice to "Young Bride". Great band, very tiresome frontman.
