I had you SUICIDAL! SUICIDAL!

So if you don't know yet that 'Beautiful Girls' by Sean Kingston is on the cusp of being inescapable, this is where you start to prepare yourself. I love it; totally ridiculous, slightly inappropriate, and massively charming emo-dancehall. How much you like it may depend on whether you find the thought of primary school kids singing "SUICIDAL! SUICIDAL!" cute or wrong.

And JoJo's covered it from the girl's point of view! I love JoJo but I think this is the first time she's shown, you know, humour in her art.

Not suicidal is Róisín Murphy - this is a bit old now (I assume it flopped then, le sigh) but I love the video.

I haven't heard of Ben E King either :(

I don't really know how to tune my radio? and can never get internet radio to work. Not that I ever try b/c I can never stand any radio normally - too many presenters' voices, not enough music...

I really don't think knowing who Ben E King is has any importance compared to knowing the song!

I decided to listen to Capital Gold yesterday afternoon and it turned out I couldn't really bear it for more than about half an hour (they played queen or sth and i had to turn it off) so, you know, maybe I can't talk about who should listen to the radio more. But it is definitely lower on presenters-being-unpleasant and higher on presenters-being-affable-nobodies, the lesser of the two available evils.
