Embarrasing herself by releasing singles? Riiiight. Anyway, I think this will flop despite how good it is. Oh well.

Kate shot the video to "Kiss That Grrrl" a few days ago. BBj642B6ItA

Sorry, I didn't mean to repost. My own fault for not checking. Anyway, I think Mutya will lose this. But it'll be interesting to see what does happen. Maybe Mutya has a few tricks up her sleeve.

Ooh, I ordered that last week. I can't wait to get it - it looks fantastic and has been getting excellent reviews. You can tell how much all of them care about the franchise - particularly Heather, Wes and Robert. I think I'm getting a signed poster with mine, too. *Crosses fingers*

Saw this. It was pretty bad. Especially the script - it's like the writers just watched the whole franchise and picked lines out of them and threw 'em in this film. The CGI was pointless and further proved doing it yoursef works best. Acting was pants. Although, Jackie and that Kyle Gallner dude were alright. The pacing of the film was wayyyy too quick, too.

Shame she didn't predict the flop of the year.

WTF @ that airbrushing.

I'm really glad Wes is on board for this.

I've heard it's pretty crap. Shame. In other news - there's a new DVD coming out called 'Never Sleep Again' which features 8 hours worth of footage from almost all the actors from 1 - 7 and 'FVJ' aswell as other stuff like the making of the original. Heather Langenkamp (Nancy Thompson, 'Nightmare 1') narrated and executive produced it. It looks brilliant AND the cover art pays homage to the original art. http://www.bloody-disgusting.com/photosizer/upload/hiresneversleep2040610.jpg

I haven't watched these films since the third. It all got too ridiculous for me.

Top 10 for Kate Nash. Great.

I actually like "Shape". "Follow Me Home" and "Walk This Way" were awful.

A break will benefit them. Clearly people aren't interested in them at this point. Take a few months off doing nothing, and then go into the studio writing & recording the album ready for a 2011 release in the summer. That's the best thing to do, IMO.

I remember when they used to be headliners. Now they are a supporting act? Wow. Anyway, I'm not going. But have fun!

Top 10? That's good then. I'm glad. I really do love this album. If you compare the lyrics to songs like "Skeleton Song" and "Mouthwash", you can see the improvement. And her vocals are more improved, too. She's less nasal. I really think it's just the sound for you guys. Everyone who's listened to 'Made of Bricks' and 'My Best Friend...' can see it's a completley different sound. 'Made...' was more of a indie-pop sound whereas her latest effort is more indie/punk and pays tribute to the 60s girl group era with a bit of folk music sprinkled on top. But I'm pleased for her. This will be nice. Should be number one, of course, but top 10 is nice.

Do we have a midweek for the album yet? I want to know how badly this is going to flop ... :(

Those are what I'd consider as singles. I'm not sure about "Kiss That Grrrl" though because it's another 60s girl groupy type track and we've just had that. Hmm...it's tough because it's not really a commercial album. "Guilt" would give her some credibility. And I like "I've Got A Secret", haha. "I've got a secret I can't tell you. You would juuuuuudge".

Because there aren't any good ones about anymore.

I'm hoping the album will do good considering it IS good. She's never been a singles artist anyway. Aside from "Foundations", her other singles didn't really do much but they managed to help bring in album sales. *Crosses fingers*

Kinda peeved about Kate. Deserved a top 10 placing, but it's her second highest charting single so congrats!

Um, yay?

I can't get into that song. The spoken word part is good, but it's not something I can listen to on repeat and certainly not something I can blast from my speakers, lol. She said she tried writing clever/complex songs but she "just can't", so she sticks with writing really simple songs as she believes she's good at that. I think I'm the same. I listen to Regina's material and I think "wow, how does she come up with this stuff?". It's really hard to write a decent song (or for me it is, at least, lol). But you know, I think if Kate opened up more and worked with more experienced songwriters for her next album, she'd learn so much and would probably be able to improve. She said she's scared of working with other writers though because she doesn't want influence on what she's writing about. It is scary, but it pays off.

I've been listening to it non-stop. My favourites at this moment are: - Paris - Kiss That Grrrl (future single?!) - Don't You Want To Share The Guilt (probably the best song of her career) - Do-Wah-Doo - Take Me To A Higher Plane - Early Christmas Present - You Were So Far Away (reminds me of something Kimya Dawson would do) I think this easily tops her debut for me.
