Screw the summer joie de vivre. Festival season is nearly over, Britain once again won sweet F.A. in sports and to top it all off the weather is going to shit faster a Senator Clay Davis scene from The Wire . Accordingly we felt the distinct need to reacquaint ourselves with our grumpy sides and taking inspiration from Cee-Lo’s excellently executed ‘Fuck You’, we’ve scoured The Counterfit memory bank for the best instances of swearing in our favourite tracks.

Once upon a time in a post many months ago, we at The Counterfit promised an album to the reader who could suggest a new favourite band or artist for us to listen to. Dutifully you sent in your recommendations and finally we’ve found the time to present part one of our assessment of the picks by all our friends.

If you’re an aspiring female musician reading this with a view to getting a credible leg up through the media into the music industry

This is Snacks the cat. Now we know what you’re thinking, this is a music blog not an internet meme site but bear with us and we’ll explain why Snacks is the biggest animal sensation in music since Pete Doherty and Amy Winehouse started employing baby mice in dodgy YouTube videos.

Roll right up! Roll right up! A sudden flash of inspiration has hit us and we’ve decided to make some money out this blogging lark. We as a reputable institution will set forth a series of odds on the likelyhood of several music events happening and you can give us your money. What? You want us to give it you back afterwards with return? Fat chance…
