Twisted Tender

THAT must be one of the most random campaigns, especially for a band with such a consistent singles history. mind you, eventually they saw fit to give Get On Your Boot a release. THAT was probably even odder.

Radiohead's Kid A, MGMT's Congratulations...

Now i'm just SO disappointed with Little Boots. How can anyone so brutally set such portentously exotic, dream-like cover arts against such ground level, unambitious tunes? number 23 is the place this deserves.

anyway, ms germanotta, what is it that you're hiding in the red clutch? please do tell us.

REALLY GOOD totally dripping with confidence this should be top 20 on pink vinyl sales alone. :)

errr... are you aware that your main source credits in its home page (as one of its three main stories) Robbie Williams' UFO endorsement as some kind of major happening? now THAT is hard to explain.

Grim, that pun finally gave it away. admit it, you REALLY are Gordon Smart B)

hehe a fair haired steward once told me that the telemetry interference thing was more or less a veil of Maya, meant to cover up the fact that at certain heights it would be impossible for mobile companies to track down (and charge for them) any calls from and towards any provider. given the source this could be either the most accurate, reliable insight on the subject or the most vapid chat up excuse ever. another day, another corporate conspiracy

i can see these flights becoming major attractions on youtube though.

i'm totally in awe with the video. a bit like having the chance to peek at what was happening in the ladies room while in the gentlemens' Mike Skinner was snorting (see Blinded by the lights) actually i wish a mash up clip was made off these two promos i'd say a very respectable number 21 for this. cheers Lily you can play my xbox anytime.

I can't really see how, Aled. Not even Europe has showed any particular understanding of Girls Aloud's complex blend of cheesy 90's euro power house and Bow Wow Wow post punk sensibility. however, it would be interesting to see Polydor promoting that formula (more of that later in this post) I agree that Foundations could have been a sizeable hit in the US, because it came out on the back of the americans flirtation with Lily Allen and Amy Winehouse and Kate Nash just fit in with that kind of neurotic pop persona. again, thinking back at the way Can't get you out of my head became a huge hit on its own strength I just wish record companies took more risk and just not limited themselves to feed the american market with a pre-packaged idea of what should appeal to big america. kylie minogue may be a case, back in 2001 she sounded AND (in that particular promo) looked like an alien to the average US citizen and that didn't stop Fever becoming a huge seller. now wouldn't it be such a thrill if In for the Kill replicated that feat :)

the OCC is well aware that the digital era as we know it is to become an obsolete concept soon. we, the buying public, may not foresee this yet because the market has caught up on downloads only recently. but it is apparent now that formats have a shorter life cycle than before. like the report says, it's gonna take a while, years surely, but the growth of digital downloads is not only bound to reach a plateau, it will inevitably get in reverse mode. so, yeah, when that happens streaming is gonna be more than just an option

New Order Bizarre Love Triangle #56 I mean, honestly, this defies any logic

does it? from what i've heard i would call it more a "career SOS" single. i know that you could probably say the same about Freak like me (as it obviously was a make or break moment) but ...in that case they came to rescue their career and ended up rescuing pop. i don't know, this is okay but it just doesn't have that special something to grab you by the balls. i just wish they went proper dubstep on this.

Yup, it's no circus, it looks more like a 60's club in Soho :)
