Breakfast television is the most important decision I've made in the last decade

On Fridays this year, we ask...

( What's in the Box? )

Today in The Box... by Jove, it is Kingmaker!

Kingmaker - Eat Yourself Whole

This is an extremely recent addition to The Box. ChrisC has not yet learned the rules about what sort of presents boyfriends are supposed to give their girlfriends, and thus gave me Eat Yourself Whole on tape a week or so ago. Fortunately, he knows me well and is quite aware that I have not yet learned the rules either. Any idiot can buy flowers, but how many people are willing to rummage in grubby charity shop 39p boxes for Kingmaker albums ?

When listening to it, I couldn't quite work out who the band reminded me of. Reading the sleevenotes, it suddenly became apparent: they thank The Wonderstuff. And that's exactly what Kingmaker sound like: a younger, less experienced, less raddled Wonderstuff.

I have been cheerfully bouncing along to Kingmaker in the car, despite previously knowing nothing off the album. Today's interesting Wikipedia fact is that Kingmaker were (in 1992) supported by Radiohead.
