When the dogs begin to smell her

[koganbot]

I only have this to say:

The dogs were barking at the new moon/Whistling a new tune/Hoping it would come soon so that they could DIE!

Thank you.

Against all odds I actually think the leaked version of this with genuine Chris Martin vocals is much, much better than the album version. Mostly because it sounds that much more like 'See It In A Boy's Eyes' which I still sometimes find myself humming, and did anyone see Jamelia slag off "Poor" Javine the Slag on Buzzcocks the other week? Eeeeexcellllent.

I refused to d/l the Chris Martin version because I love the album version, but I can hear exactly where his voice would have gone if it hadn't been taken out, and it would have been this awful high-pitched weedy thing (not unlike a dog barking at the new moon) which would have ruined it.

I have decided that Chris Martin is a Good Thing when he is writing songs for other people; the evidence of this and 'See It In A Boy's Eyes' (better than anything on rub new Jamelia album!) cannot be ignored.

Gwen Stefani's 'Early Winter' (virtually the only listenable thing on her new album!) gives me the fear that I might have to say this about the Keane dumpling boy soon.

Ha, I know nothing about the dumplin' Keane boy other than hearing several Keane tracks once and deciding this was worth a tick. Agree that "Early Winter" is the best thing on the Gwen, though I'll prop for a few other tracks as well (including "Wind It Up," whose force is undeniable, which I suppose enhances its unlistenability for those who find it unlistenable).
