KLYMAXX

Headlines you don't want to see the morning after yr office party: ELTON JOHN'S STAG NIGHT - PICTURES.

Anyway here's Klymaxx - "Meeting In The Ladies Room". This song is totally amazing. It begins with a woman saying "I had to leave my condo - to come to THIS" and then continues with her RAGE at the hussies who have been eyeing up her man. "I've had to become a B.W. - a BASIC WOMAN" - so it's off to THE LADIES ROOM to sort them out. OR IS IT? Because then the rest of the song seems to be about going to the ladies room so as to look even better for yr man. And then one of the verses appears to be sung by one of the women who is CHASING the man. And also let's face it a song about "powdering your nose" before you get out on the floor has plenty of subtext going on. This is the joy of being a big group, you can represent all sides of a situation in a single track!



DIVAS NEED LOVE TOO!

I chose today's song on the basis that I'd probably have a thumping hangover and should select something soothing. As it turns out I feel tired but intact as the work do was a bit of a damp squib. But you get the soothing wobs song anyway:

In non-Christmas, non-pop news, what odds would you have given on the highest UK album in this years Pitchfork Poll being by ARSE BRUTE??!!

If you want to know why I don't like Art Brut,

It's because all music should sound like this.
