Darren Hayes! Some recent Darren news is that the Savage Garden song Chained To You has been covered as a dance track and bizarrely has apparently been playing on the UK music channel U, which last time I looked was an Urban channel. You can hear a clip of it here – it actually is… Continue reading Happy birthday to you..

Everyone must go and vote for Cleopatra on Hit Me Baby now cos they were sooooooo ACE! They sang Cleopatra’s Theme and for their cover did one of the very best pop songs of the last few years, GA’s No Good Advice! They all looked fabulous (even Yonah!!) and sounded even better. They managed to… Continue reading Get a pen and paper, right down their name…

Representing the Netherlands: Ashley Jade – Let Me Be Your FantasyYou may think one of Atomic Kitten or perhaps Blue’s cover versions would be the worst of all time. Well, think again! This young lady (not that she appears particularly ladylike in the video) has managed to ruin one of my favourite mindless dance tunes… Continue reading The International Video Challenge

Noise Next Door – She MightThis is the boys who ruin Henley-on-Thames’ nice reputation’s first single on a major label (Warner Bros) and also marks the ditching of their bright red hair colour. Obviously it is irredeemably terrible, although perhaps a little more bearable than Calendar Girl and Lock Up Ya Daughters. They are, according… Continue reading Video Killed The Radio Star

This CD has been around a few years now but seeing as it’s only £2.99 in Virgin at the moment, there’s no better time to get your copy of what has, for me, been one of the nicest surprises I’ve had from an album. Here’s my review of a very eclectic and interesting CD… You… Continue reading Dirrrty Pop Review: Just Jack – The Outer Marker

I’ve decided that I don’t want my favourite European pop stars releasing over here anymore. This is because, as with Kim-Lian, they tend to arrive with completely the wrong song for the UK market, get compared to someone totally inappropriate (in this case Lolly), be ignored or laughed at by everyone who has any influence… Continue reading Untitled

I review videos from around the globe, and mark them with globes out of 5. Genius, if I do say so myself! Representing the UK: Triple 8 – Good To GoWow! This is actually good! I was a fan of Triple 8 in their heyday (a short and quiet one as it was) but after… Continue reading The International Video Challenge

I was all ready to pay out loads of kronas to import Robyn‘s new album, especially when I heard she’d been working with Teddybears Sthlm on it, but I just thought I’d check CD Wow in case by some miracle they had the CD and, amazingly, they did! For just £8.75! So any of you… Continue reading If you buy this record your life will be better!

With all the 80s pop on TV at the moment with Hit Me Baby One More Time, endless Mania programmes, PWL Radio and all kinds of 80s-themed shows literally popping up on VH1 and Magic, I have been getting quite into the 80s sound recently. I may have only been 2 years and 10 days… Continue reading The Beginners’ Guide To The 80s
