    7. Level 42 *

    8. Stranglers *

     

    13. Lightning Seeds *

    25. Dusty Springfield

     

    *Thats right folks, its fathers day - which means a bunch of new greatest hits compilations from bands who have already had some!

    But with the inclusion of previous greatest hits albums from these artists at £3.97 in the cheap chart, will that hinder the sales of these new versions? Is it worth £6 more for better artwork and a couple of different tracks?

     

     

     

    well lightning seeds in top ten so that might.

     

    depends on if they come with the dvd of the video.

     

    saw stranglers and level 24 being tv advertised. so that helps

    Spooky ones. I find them more scary. Have you seen the eye? Scary :o

     

    yeah got two copies of it. one Thai and one Tartan with the hollogram. actaully liked that one. dont know how the remakes gonna be.

     

    just watched Into the mirror

    bored me $h!tless.

     

    actaully think in this case the Alexandre Aja remake might actually improve on the original.

     

    def the two stars that the bbc gave it in their book!!!

    They are good, unlike some people *cough*duff*cough*lohan*cough* they actualy wrote nearly all the songs on their album. They also both play the guitar, but most of the tracks on the album are kind of samey.

     

    i've been listening to

    Supposing ... Sandi Thom is the musical antichrist

    I've not heard that Sandi Thom single all the way through yet, but I've seen the TV ad about six billion times, and the short, poxy burst on that is more than enough to convince me that if her sudden rise to stardom WASN'T the end result of a shrewd marketing campaign, the implications are terrifying. Because to believe the official story - that thousands of people voluntarily subjected themselves to this $h!t online, then recommended it to their friends - is to lose your faith in mankind completely

     

    There's a simple way to settle this once and for all, and that's for the huge crowd of people who apparently watched Thom's inaugural bedsit webcasts to step forward and make themselves known. Come on. Hands up. I want to see your faces. And then I want you smacked to death with brooms. You people are the enemies of fun. Your bland emissions pollute the atmosphere, threaten the environment. For the sake of humanity, you must be stopped.

    I don't know. Maybe I'm wrong. Maybe Sandi Thom genuinely touches some people. Whoever they are, I can't relate to them. Woody Allen once marvelled with horror at "the level of a mind that watches wrestling", and I'm the same with Sandi Thom fans. All I hear is that telltale, indefinable something that immediately marks it out as something that's bypassed the soul completely: consumable noise for people who don't like music but know listening to it is "the done thing" - like mutant imposters mimicking the behaviour of humans. I can't relate. It doesn't go. I'm being alienated by the replicants.

     

    There's a word for this sort of thing. It's not "art", it's "content". And it's everywhere, measured out by unseen hands, mechanically dangled over the replicants' flapping gobholes; flavourless worms for android hatchlings.

     

    Sometimes I can ALMOST see where content is coming from. Take Angels by Robbie Williams. It's a massively popular piece of content, beloved by millions. If I strain really hard, I can just about make out some genuine emotion. Just a speck or two - but enough to make its huge success at least vaguely explicable. Compared with anything that has any semblance of balls whatsoever, Angels is a bowl of cold mud - but next to most content, it's a towering emotional epic. It almost makes you feel something. No wonder it's become the official theme tune for thick people's funerals.

     

    Anyway, back to Sandi Thom. As luck would have it, while typing this article, I've just heard I Wish I Was a Punk Rocker (With Bollocks in My Mouth) on the radio, and the real braintwister is the lyric, in which she yearns for a time "when accountants didn't have control and the media couldn't buy your soul". It's a boneheaded plea for authenticity, sung in the most Tupperware tones imaginable: a fake paean to a pre-fake era. It's giving me vertigo.

     

    Wait. It gets worse. I've just looked it up on Napster - oh Christ. I didn't realise how far this had gone. The B-side is a cover of No More Heroes by the Stranglers. "Whatever happened to the heroes?", she warbles, knowing full well she's replaced them. She's the musical antichrist.

     

    This is too creepy to be mere coincidence. Someone's messing with us. The replicant kings are trying to mangle our minds. Plug your ears. Block the signal. Final phase. They're taking over.
