Late Night Friday Video Club

This is the first video from the Brighton Port Authority, the new moniker for Fatboy Slim. The song in question is called 'Toe Jam' and features vocals from David Byrne and Dizzee Rascal. And it's great, another Fatboy-sized slice of pop pizza. Video's pretty good too.

Saturday Eurobosh

[credoimprobus]

Remember some 5 years ago when Kate Ryan was doing awesome things to French europop classics? Well, she's at it again! And with one of my all-time favourite bits of 80s europop!

Hurrah!

(Not as good as her Libertine, mind, but then her Libertine is possibly the best eurobosh cover in the history of the world, so that would prob have been asking much!)

6 Women and 2 Men Who Would Sing Come on Over Better then Jessica Simpson

[anthonyeaston.livejournal.com]

Women:

1) Miranda Lambert (the song does have a sort of out of control prarie fire quality,and Ms Lambert can deliver)
2) Trisha Yearwood (could work as a corrective/paratext to the slightly cryptic Garth Brooks single More then a Memory)
3) Faith Hill (because she does songs alike this in a way where southern politness infects public lust, and Simpson is playing up her southern charms here)
4) Tanya Tucker (because she needs a comeback single
5) Martina McBride (because it would have worked better as a torch song, and her last album attempted and failed at it)
6) Britney Spears (though her last album was genius, profoundly unhinged, the southern girl working thru the genres as an attempt towards redemption, fits Britney's narratives much then Simpson's)

Men:
1) Brad Paisley (because it doesn't have any of the creepy misogyny that is work is so infamous for)
2) Josh Turner (because he could make the song much sexier, much more desperate)

as it is, the song is weirdly sexless, and desperate.
