OK, they’re not boybands in the traditional sense, but some of the music is pretty good… Rooney – When Did Your Heart Go Missing? (Video)I never cared for Rooney in the past and all I knew of them was that they were on The OC once and have nothing to do with the English footballer,… Continue reading New Boybands On The Block

Booty Luv – Don’t Mess With My Man (Video)Lucy Pearl’s single from 2000 was a perfect choice to be next to get the Booty Luv r’n’b->dance treatment as it was a moderately-sized hit, the kind that a lot of people would recognise but not know the original singer of, so it soon becomes more identified… Continue reading New Pop On The Block

1. I just realised the Shop Boyz song is “party” not “horny” like a rockstar. It doesn’t make it any less painful on the ears, though.2. The new Chemical Brothers single sounds like Will Smith meets the Avalanches! A strange combination but it makes for a great song, actually.3.

The song is OK, but has nothing of the charm and… Continue reading You can’t say this site’s not educational!

They were saying how the female readership of Kerrang has shot up, and the reason for this is because they all started buying it when Charlie left Busted and joined a heavy metal band. Have I not been… Continue reading Radio 2 cements its place as the best UK radio station

Finally the great song goes to someone who deserves it, and I can listen to it without restraint.

A strange system of recycling seems to be taking place. I am just now listening to my beloved Radio 2 (yes, still) and the presenter announced that the next song would be the new single by Ladytron. I got excited, hoping it would be as good as Destroy Everything You Touch. The song began to… Continue reading Has the world run out of indie-pop?

I was just listening to the latest singles chart and remembered that I ‘discovered’ (after a zillion Americans already had done so, but long before any Brits) Plain White Ts in February 2006! It’s almost comforting to know that some things never change and PWTs are still just as rubbish as they were 18 months… Continue reading Plain still = boring
