sandi thom - i wish i was a punk rocker



anarchy was still a dream / and the only way to stay in touch was a letter in the mail

i always fall for this song when the beat drops, it is a tremendous hollaback mum statement of lame intent. also when you factor in nerina pallot, 06 is the year of cute songs made cuter by gruesomely unpalatable lyrics!

3lw ft jermaine dupri - feelin you

you might think the 3lw comeback single would be a powerful reassertion of their thing wot it is they do but "feelin you" says little about them and a lot about jd's astoundingly consistent songcraft powers - he even overlaps his own voice with theirs in the chorus! you know, like how ciara and bow wow do on the very similar jd-produced "like you", but erm it seemed ok for bow wow to do that as it was his song and everything! jd seems to have decided 3lw cant even be trusted with their own chorus, HARSH. in all other ways i like how this song almost revels in its minor mid-tempo headnodder status though. i feel im gonna be humming the delicate xylophone type riff when i wake up tomorrow and will possibly play it ALL DAY EVERY DAY to see if it ever becomes the slightest bit obnoxious. (it wont.)

f.a.t. - release the beat



there are five of them and they are sort of like a girl-blazin squad, only not as good. they were wearing baggy red ts, bandanas and singing in american accents! v embarrassing!

...is what lil missy said after we saw tommi (yes TOMMI) in 03, but so much has changed!

- tommi have chopped off two of their five arms, possibly the embarrassing tv presenter type ones who ruined things first time around

- o but wait they are "doing a sitcom pilot", sounds like a real winner already

- they have also started a rng spinoff project with some girl called flick

- the project's first song is called "release the beat" and the video is already on c-u

- it is fucking amazing! the beat is vaguely reminiscent of dirty pop classic "ladies" by sarai and the whole thing feels like proper lady grime without the guiding hand of some gauntly annoying dubstep auteur behind the scenes

- loooong instrumental outro as well, which if u ask me shows confidence like, lets just add another sixteen bars to let the hotness sink in!

- honestly without resorting to silly hyperbole, this is the best thing that ever happened to music so check the f.a.t. myspace

spizzazzz's 9/11



(more here, i'm feeling this song, awesome beat switchup for the chorus!)

but akon you have so much to live forrrr



i been posting a lot on notes&stuff but no one's been updating the main section! i think you will agree the balance is dangerously outta control rmx!

i just cant think how to fix it???

that mvp video

it was released 6 weeks ago but the vid for "bounce shake move stop" is still on all the time, i just cant ignore it 4ever!

1) the muscular rapper dude. his mouth is spitting the words but the rest of his face is a picture of inexpressive serenity. his arms gesture like, hey guys im rappity rappin, but bear no relation to word emphasis, IS THIS A REAL HUMAN BEING I DONT THINK SO



2) a breakdancer breakdances, when suddenly another breakdancer shoots into frame and smashes the previous one into a thousand cgi pieces - take that fat lace magazine!



3) a vast army of cybergimp drumming ladies appear behind muscular rapper dude, those drums arent even plugged in wtf



4) a dj scratches the breakdown on a cd deck (take that q-bert motherfuckers) while yet another (tiny, holographic) breakdancer body pops around his sinewy dj hand



5) dj then spins to his laptop and inputs the code for moderately hot bitches ooh i sense some science that is in fact weird





6) man who is somewhat like fatman scoop has to be cgi'd into weird crowd surfing scene, they simply cannot afford to crush the moderately hot bitches, this is the world of urbansploitation
