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.

Controversial as this may seem we at The Counterfit still enjoy the process of buying music. Sure no-one actually cares about the content of our extensive record collections but if they did they would be impressed. In the spirit of not paying over £5 for a decent LP we’ve compiled the best picks from the ever frenzied online ‘January’ sales.*
