Last night I went to see Darren Hayes in concert… for the 7th time! Only 3 have been full concerts, the others being gigs with other acts where he played just a few songs, but he was always the main reason I went. Most people would find this completely mad, but to anyone who has… Continue reading Dirrrty Pop Review: Darren Hayes Live

I have had an excellent idea for a new Dirrrty Pop feature and all will be revealed in due time, but for now you can help me by filling in this poll: Which of these songs is the best? Sylvia Night – Congratulations Rogue Traders – Voodoo Child Morningwood – Nth Degree Rihanna – S.O.S… Continue reading Untitled

That time of year is here again – revision time. I’ve got LOADS of work to do, and my first exam is only 2 weeks away. It’s a Classics exam, on classical Greek architecture. Not exactly my best subject (I thought Classics was just about literature when I chose to study it), so I’m going… Continue reading Classics Classics

The Feeling – Fill My Little WorldWell, this is a surprise. I have heard this song many times yet it has never had any effect on me, until today when I saw the video and suddenly found that I love it. The video is quite clever in a taking the song title a bit too… Continue reading New Pop On The Block

I was extremely excited when this CD arrived in the post this morning as I’d received no e-mail telling me it was on its way. After a few listens I can safely say it’s brilliant, with several songs reaching the absolute height of BWO aceness as seen on such tracks as Conquering America and Sunshine… Continue reading Dirrrty Pop Review: BWO – Halcyon Days

This time last year I was wondering if there would ever be a good no.1 again, and there wasn’t until Sugababes released Push The Button, one of only 2 good no.1s of the whole year (the other being Madonna’s Hung Up). In the 3 and a half months of this year there have already been… Continue reading Things Can Only Get Better!

Orson – Bright IdeaI really don’t get Orson. Their sound is kind of like Maroon 5 meets the Killers, 2 bands that I like, yet I really don’t like their songs. I thought it might just be No Tomorrow, but their new song is even worse. They’re like the Daniel Powter of bands – they… Continue reading New Pop On The Block

Despite the fact that he released it in America and most of Europe over a year ago and everyone (possibly even Gavin himself) thought it was going to be We Belong Together, he has announced that Chariot will be his next single. I like the song but I really don’t think this is gonna be… Continue reading Slightly random Gavin DeGraw news

but when you’re refering to the band, the Delays, they definitely are. Their last 2 singles, Valentine and Lost In A Melody, have been absolutely magnificent and the new one, Hideaway, is just as ace and although it’s less electro it’s about as jolly as a song could possibly get – and to think it… Continue reading Usually delays are not something to be celebrated

I got my Melodifestivalen 2006 CD in the post last week and, as you can imagine, I’ve been listening to it quite a lot since and even less surprising is the fact that I keep returning to track 1 on CD 2 – Temple of Love by BWO. And it’s only during this BWO listenathon… Continue reading Untitled
