Things I have noticed about Ready To Run:

Quim's album is tops.

- The lyrics in the booklet are handwritten. Like Avril.
- But: The back cover of the booklet boasts a collage of candid snaps. This should be made obligatory for anybody who wants to make an album. Ever.
- The candid snaps feature Lemar, Pippa, Sinead's brother, Sinead's dog and - bizzarely - Haytch from Steps (or at least somebody who looks a little bit like him).
- Sinead ends her Wee Thank You's with, Hope you enjoy listening to this my little chickens. Because she's ace.
- Ready To Run, the title track, is lovely, and made me a little bit weepy.
- I Can't Break Down sounds like a song from Smack The Pony. I can't remember which one.
- Small Town Big Dreams is ace (even if it does sound like it should have been recorded by Billy Evil, Far-Too-Grown-Up-For-His-Age-But-Also-Far-Too-Sheltered, Evil Child Star Gilman).
- The CD is pink.

I don't like guitars. I don't like girls with guitars. I should hate this album.

But I don't!

Sinead: Better than Liz Phair.
