Brit Nominations

Popjustice sums it all up nicely

The list of bands (both UK and International) makes for underwhelming reading, but I think the list of UK singles from 2007 is quite a reasonable reflection of what's been going on in British pop*:

Leona Lewis – Bleeding Love
Mika – Grace Kelly
Take That – Shine
Kaiser Chiefs – Ruby
Sugababes – About You Now
Mark Ronson Ft Amy Winehouse – Valerie
Kate Nash – Foundations
The Hoosiers – Worried About Ray
James Blunt – 1973
Mutya Buena – Real Girl

Personally, I'd have trouble picking a winner out of Take That and Sugababes. The only truly mediocre song on that list is Mutya and her string sample.

*Call The Shots wuz robbed, etc

It's a new The Feeling single!

Rubbish video, inadvisable facial hair....


...AMAZING SONG!

'I Thought It Was Over' is The Feeling going proper disco and this is already near the top of my 2008 charts. The best bit is where everything drops out just after the middle eight and there's this Atari harpsichord twiddle. Yay!

( LOLz DIV )

somehow i'd forgot what a weird splice of unutterably sad and GOOSESTEP BONKERS MAYHEM this song is (ie roxy music's "bitter sweet")!!

(the second side of country life is probbly my favourite roxy sequence; still it catches me by surprise)
(next song = triptych = b.ferrari gets jeebus)
