If you don’t already know, Sarah Nixey is the former vocalist of utterly ace Black Box Recorder. She’s been making waves with a small solo career recently, if you’ve not heard her in simplest terms think Sophie Ellis Bextor with a Phd. It’s intelligent pop music when on the album, but live it’s a whole […]
Yesterday I went to the Spice Girls press conference at the Vue Cinema in the 02 in Greenwich. Not very handily located for the mainly W1 based press crew, the location was all based around some strange longitude/latitude thing the pr company had come up with. The conference was due to start at 12.30 […]
So label boss Clive Davis hates this album so much he offered Kelly $10 million to drop five tracks and let them be replaced by Dr Luke ones. That’s some hatred! It’s not an easy album to like by any means but if you give it a chance I really think it will grow on […]
“The Spice Girls are set to make an official announcement to the world regarding future plans on Thursday 28th June.”
This is one press conference I am making sure I am at. ! x 1 million. I’m a bit scared the whole thing is going to be an unparallelled disaster, but I’m currently unable to concentrate […]
I’ve finally started reading the amazing It’s a Trap blog which kind of aggregates all Scandinavian music news - new songs appearing, tour dates and the like. Anyway it just reminded me of the existance of Junior Senior. In the UK they’ll probably only be remembered for Move Your Feet which hit #3 in 2003, […]
As much as it pains me, actually pains me, to say it, I shall be taking a trip to the sinful container of G-A-Y on July 21st. I’ve been once before to see Sophie Ellis Bextor, and while it wasn’t as dreadful as I was expecting, I do not want to live the life of […]
“Umbrella” is still number 1, five weeks after release, and amazingly it still hasn’t grown dull. There’s nothing like wandering around town going “ella, ella, ella” continuously. I even heard someone doing it in Paris (from where I have just returned).
Fabulously the album it’s taken from, “Good Girl Gone Bad”, is stonking.
And if New Order […]
I foolishly forgot to blog about Tigerpicks - “Disco Punk Electro Funk” when it came out intitally labelling it as a bit messy and a Robots in Disguise rip-off. One thing I never disputed though, was the brilliance of the video.

The Tigerpicks are Frankie, Martyn and Emma, and they’re working with none other than Richard […]
When I was 16 I hated the Manics. They stopped George Michael’s “Outside” going to #1 with some old political twaddle and filled my teenage pop blood with rage. Then when I went to university, student radio opened my ears to all music beyond pure pop. And just as most people began to think they’d […]
Unklejam’s amazing 2nd single is finally out to buy on download this week. Love Ya flopped for no reason but What Am I Fighting For has been everywhere. It it’s not in the charts by the end of next week then my belief in the UK buying public will be withdrawn!
