The Quietus celebrates the perennial underachievers with this mix and, over at the site, an interview and tributes from their loyal followers. Here's Ben 'Bad Science' Goldacre: "It's hard not to sound pseudish when you're talking about music but my love of this band is so deep that I'll risk it. I think I love The Chap because they sound like they got bored with how good they are at music, like Stewart Lee got bored of comedy, and decided to make it more interesting, but effortlessly. So 'We Work in Bars' takes the banal everyday comments that people make, with the intention of aggrandising their daydreams, and serves them up with the epic backing they kind of deserve. At least, in my head that's how it works."
