"Love on Top" • Fourth Single
Song and video are cheddar. I just cannot understand the love for this song, IMO it's the worst on the album. Hopefully it is never properly released and just falls into the "is it or is it not a single" territory that Upgrade U and Suga Mama fell into. End Of Time and I Was Here are the remaining singles on this album.

X Factor 2011 || Live Shows - Week 7
Suggestions for movie week: Marcus - PCD - Jai Ho (Slumdog) Janet - Lykke Li - Possibility (one of the Twilights) Craig - Cat Power - Sea of Love (Juno) Little Mix - April March - Chick Habit (Deathproof) Amelia - Brit & Alex - Let It Go (Step Up 2) Misha - DC - Independent Women (Charlie's Angels) I'm predicting that will NEVER happen and we will get Little Mix doing Time of My Life which goes into the BEP version and Craig doing something from Lion King. Would quite like to see Independent Women and Can't Fight The Moonlight.

Marina & The Diamonds - 'Electra Heart'
I love it. New sound but it's pure Marina. I'm looking forward to the new album.

'The Walking Dead' // Season 2
I agree. This season seems like it's spinning out stories which should be resolved within at least a couple of episodes. Things like them not getting the respirator in the episode when they decided they need one, things like that feel like they should be resolved within one episode. I've just downloaded episode 5. Hopefully there's some good zombie action which, other than the walker in the well, seems to have been pretty tame this season.

Radio 1 Playlist (16/11/11)
The Drake and Rihanna song is amazing, glad it's been added even if it's not the third single.

Arctic Monkeys - 'Don't Sit Down...' // 'Suck It And See'
Saw them in Liverpool. Started off brilliant, bit of a lull for the second half, great encore. The crowd were shit though. Don't know if it's me acting like an old man but crowds nowadays just don't seem to be anywhere near as rowdy as they used to be. My theory is that ticket prices have turned concert going into a middle class event...lots of milling about...not much moshing. Kelly Clarkson at MEN on her Breakaway tour had a wilder crowd than Arctic Monkeys in Liverpool.

Little Boots - Nocturnes
Like I thought, definitely benefits from the radio edit. I wish that every chorus was like the last one though... the drop is ace.

Little Boots - Nocturnes
I found a stream here: http://josepvinaixa.blogspot.com/2011/11/l...e-premiere.html It's good but I think this will benefit from a radio edit.

Little Boots - Nocturnes
Can someone point me in the right direction because blogsearch and hypem aren't helping me!
-
One Direction - Gotta Be You
That video is bad...like really bad. Why does Louis look so hilarious driving a mini?
-
Suburgatory
I think the episodes have slowly been declining in quality, except the Halloween episode, which bucked the trend slightly. The funniest bits of the show are easily the bits with Dallas or George.

Nicole Scherzinger 'Killer Love'
Then get on iTunes and download the three new tracks. You don't have to buy the album again if you've already got it.

Florence + The Machine // 'Ceremonials' October 31
Retract this statement. The album is four good songs; Shake It Out, Spectrum, No Light No Light and maybe Strangeness and Charm. The rest is absolute filler.
-
Kelly Clarkson - Stronger
I can't get into this album. Somebody tell me which song I need to listen to that is going to make me see the light.

Florence + The Machine // 'Ceremonials' October 31
This album is good so far, Although I've not really listened to it properly because I can't get passed Spectrum. Every time I put another song on, I just want to hear Spectrum again.
-
The Ting Tings - Hang It Up
God, they look terrible in that video. Neither of them can pull off being hipsters...well, they never could really, but at least with their first album they had decent songs. Hands was good but after it flopped they seem to have gone as far from sleek electro pop as possible and come out in punk rap dreadfulness.

US TV Primetime Discussion || Fall 2011
I might check out the most recent episodes then. I'd quite like a new non-comedy to watch. My favourite new shows this year have been Suburgatory and New Girl. I tried Ringer but only got half way through the first episode... I've gone back to watching Buffy instead.

The One That Got Away
Her X factor performance was great and I'm glad she did it acoustic. For me, it redeemed herself after her terrible vocals last year and showed the side of her that seems to have got lost in all the glitz and pink hair.

US TV Primetime Discussion || Fall 2011
Is there a "mythology" that kicks in then? I watched the first episode and thought it was well acted and well produced, but the episode's plot was so flimsy and the "crime" so easily solved that I haven't bothered watching any more. I find with these sci-fi and fantasy shows that try and do the whole "monster-the-week" thing can get really tedious because there's always some made up bit of science and technology that can solve the problem. Fringe gets away with it most of the time because they've created a strong mythology that most of the individual episodes become part of, but there's often duff weeks (boy psychically attached to a fungus). The thing that keeps you watching is knowing there's an over arching story that has some sort of pay off.

The Weeknd 'House of Balloons/Thursday/Echoes of Silence'
Initiation is crazy. I can't wait for Echoes of Silence, but I'm still discovering things on House of Balloons even though I've had it since June. This guy is too consistent.
-
Rebecca Ferguson - Heaven
This will probably do very well on Radio 2. It's a shame though, I wanted Sweet Dreams / Show Me Love Rebecca Ferguson, not distilled Duffy.
-
Nicole Scherzinger 'Killer Love'
And don't most re releases come about because an album hasn't been a success? Anyway, I like Try With Me and I'm looking forward to some new songs. I'm hoping they're going to be more urban leaning because I miss that side of Nicole...I still yearn for a HQ version of Physical.

iTunes Chart: October 2011 (II)
I'd quite like Lana Del Rey, Katy Perry and Sean Paul to sneak into the top 10. Jar of Hearts needs to die already. At first I thought it was a nice piano ballad, but it soon became evident that it is an absolute naff fest destined to be reenacted for years to come on singing competitions.
-
iTunes Chart: October 2011 (II)
This needs to be doing better. I was looking forward to Sean Paul being relevant again.

Video Games / Blue Jeans
It's also number 1 on the album chart. It's only £1.79 for four songs, although 2 are remixes.
