Current Mood: too tited to find knob

What;'s that new Groova Armada platter called? It sounds a bit dancehall, which I'm liking. Unless I have the wrong song entirely and am hallucinating Damien Marley on Scott Mills.

Oh my, I've just had my first taste of Hellogoodbye. They sound like Lorraine, if Lorraine had been raised on El Presidente and not the PSBs.

Get Up? Or is it Get Down? That's the one with Lady Stush on it, anyway. It has been going round my head all day because I was listening to the Calvin Harris mix this morning.

Maybe it's 'Remain In A Stationary Position', then.

If we're thinking of the same track, it's called "Get Down," and as Kat says, it features Lady Stush. Lots of people (well, four or five) have been disparaging it for being a Basement Jaxx imitation and pitying poor Stush for having to carry the entire burden of saving it on her bare shoulders. I think it's quite wonderful, myself.

5 hours later it is still whizzing round my internal jukebox. It's the combination of the main synth hook and the manner in which Stush rhymes "ruff and tuff" whilst managing to give them different vowel sounds ("raff" and "toff"). Awesome.

Haha. I'm going to download it, I think. I've had Five Live on all day with people blethering on about the Merton Parkas so I think I need to give it proper investigation.

Agreed, it's 'Get Down'.

I only heard it once, yesterday, but it suited the weather and made me smile, and that's about all you can ask of listening to the radio in the afternoons. I didn't immediately think 'this sounds like Basement Jaxx' so I'm not sure that's fair.

I didn't think of Basement Jaxx, but some of this lot did.

Oh, they get much worse than that. Much, much worse. Downloaded the album out of curiosity a few months ago and most of it makes that single sound good.

Hellogoodbye, that is. I quite like the Groove Armada tune.
