Kylie Minogue – Giving You Up
Kylie’s meeting with Xenomania finally gets a release and already I’m forseeing disaster. This video is the weirdest, most unflattering thing I’ve ever seen! Kylie is walking around a town, getting taller and taller (which makes her bum look gigantic) and scarier and scarier. I guess it’s meant to be a joke about her being so small but it’s really goign to ruin any classy or cool image she ever had.

Garbage – Why Do You Love Me
I really liked the singles off Garbage’s last album but after hearing that the new one was more like their original 90s sound, I didn’t have too high hopes for it. However, I am pleased to announce that Why Do You Love Me is absolutely brilliant! It’s feisty girl power indie-rock as you would expect, but also really catchy.

Groovecutters – We Close Our Eyes
This is the latest in the sampling an old song with a slutty video trend, and although the song (a cover of Go West’s one top 10 hit) is in fact quite ace, the video is a total disaster. They seem to be aiming for a mixture of the videos for Britney & Madonna’s Me Against The Music (girls snogging) and Stupidisco by Junior Jack (girls fighting) but it’s so amateur it’s not even funny.
