albums of the decade - 97. FM Belfast - How to Make Friends


97. FM Belfast - How To Make Friends (2008)

One of the most delightful bunch of people I've had the pleasure to meet, I interviewed FM Belfast for the Iceland Airwaves music festival in 2008. As the photo's below show, they showed me that aside from 'making' friends you can also 'bake' them. This is the only interview where I haven't needed to prepare a script as the humour and laughs ran the show. Never before have I seen a band have so much fun playing live. This album contains songs about chimpanzee's, running down the street in underwear and also covers Technotronic's 'Pump Up the jam' and Rage Against The Machine's 'Killing In The Name Of'. It's pop music of the highest callibre and my favourite tag on their lastfm.com profile is "glittering raspberry."
