January 18, 2008 Earworm


...which brings us to Butler's last stand with Suede. Or, his last single - and even that has been up for debate because no one that knows is willing to talk about Bernard's exact contribution to the tracks on "Dog Man Star" prior to his abrupt exit from the band. But, he remains credited for guitars on "New Generation" while his replacement, 17 year old Richard Oakes (referred to as "Little Dickie" by the always classy British music press), gets the credit for the b-sides.

It sure sounds like Bernard back there behind Brett as the story of slumming with a bright young thing unfolds. If she's real or drug induced hallucination remains unanswered, but you should be dancing to it, not thinking about it, so get moving.

Here's the video, featuring "Little Dickie":
