Now that I've decided I'm no longer going to call myself a fan of pop, it's sort of liberating not to care how shit the charts are.

Paloma Faith - oh great, someone to combine stage school Duffy faux soul mannerisms with stage school Bat For Lashes faux witchy mannerisms. I like that piano riff but really, why does this even exist.

Freemasons - lazy hack work which seems to rely on archness for emotion - FAIL.

Yeah You's? As in...The Yeah You Is? Vile twee indie pop. Just die.

This week's saviour: The Gossip - retreads their one groove but it's a good groove. 6/10 at best. WELL DONE, POP. I'm so glad I hate you now.

Paloma Faith is ARGH awful. These wimmins are becoming the new landfill indie; if I was able to do reviews at the minute I'd have to make myself a Crappy White Faux-soul Idiots review generator; "[NAME] is a young woman claiming to revolutionise pop by not being like any of the other women in pop, before proclaiming her love for previous women in pop and her desire to emulate their style for some cheap pseudo-cred. Here is another tired and increasingly cheaply produced motown retread to soundtrack our boring lives every time we step in a shop or turn on a radio until we all admit Schopenhauer saw sense and KILL OURSELVES."

Or something. Seriously tho they are ALL RUBBISH ALL THE TIME ARGH. It almost makes Lady Gaga look alright simply for being obnoxious in a slightly different way at least.
