What you say No-one has reviewed All I Wanna Do by The School yet. Give us your opinion on All I Wanna Do by The School. What we say This record left our BRIAN D feeling angry. The School do this whole Tracy Ullman 60's Motown ballad crossed with the theme from Eastenders. Considering the success of The Pipettes I can't really slag this 7" on Elefant too much apart from it's bland retro-isms. At least Kirsty Macoll had good songs. 'All I Wanna Do' suffers from one of the most crassly overemployed titles in the history of indie music (2nd only to "rollercoaster") I'd like to review the flip except I fear for my ears. Gah! Sicky candy floss pink. Great...... What the label says: Debut release from Cardiff's The School. Limited edition PINK VINYL! Produced by Ian Catt (SAINT ETIENNE, TREMBLING BLUE STARS) Combining indie-pop and the shimmering 60's - style production, THE SCHOOL play sunshine pop with moments of light and shadow, the kind of infectious, hyper-melodic pop you can simultaneously cry and dance to. Sophisticated, happy songs, with a little melancholy thrown in, inspired by THE BEACH BOYS (and the fantastic AMERICAN SPRING, produced by Brian Wilson), THE BEATLES, Phil Spector and girl bands from the 60's. & current bands with whom they share references and tastes, bands that also wrap their sweet melodies in wonderful keyboard and string arrangements, bands like BELLE & SEBASTIAN, SATURDAY LOOKS GOOD TO ME, CAMERA OBSCURA, Jim Noir, LUCKY SOUL & THE BRUNETTES

About the humble 7":

The humble 7" is the smallest of the vinyl formats (not including the ridiculous 5") and it's the perfect medium for transporting a couple of new songs by up and coming bands straight into your ears. They're fun and they take up less space in your house than something bigger would. They come in a plethora of exciting colours and fantastical packages, and you can fit about 14 minutes onto one 7". You may have to get up every few minutes to put a new record on but think of the exercise. Don't forget every record you buy plays at least 2 speeds (depending on your stereo) and you need to play all records on all speeds to get the maximum joy from your purchase.
