Our New Life
Posted in Life Is..., Music on 2 September 2008

A decidedly different post…but what’s life without a little teen drama? Not to mention today was a bit shit until it hit 90210 o’clock (aka 8:00 PM)! Shenae Grimes is the shit. Two thumbs up for Aunt Becky Lori Loughlin as well. 90210 AND America’s Next Top Model…IN THE SAME WEEK? Looks like the CW can actually [...]

Why is THIS finding its way to our playlists?
Posted in Life Is..., Music on 29 August 2008

01. So bad.
02. So autotuned Rihanna’s done proud.
03. Yet sooo good.

Mad love for Lil Wayne though…even if he is ridiculously overrated. Oh, and the song’s Cassie’s latest (you remember, the gorgeous/monotone one that somehow hit it big a while back…no?), “Official Girl”. We should probably mention that.

Mixtape-Mashup Poll, Results & Conclusions
Posted in Life Is... on 28 August 2008

Mixtape-Mashup Volume One
RESULTS & CONCLUSIONS
1. Seven people have fantastic taste in music.
2. Two people simply missed the option above.
3. One person is either EXTREMELY bad with their computer mouse…or simply upset we didn’t feature their favorite remix of “Electric”. Don’t expect to get that if you’re not British.
Please vote on poll number dos to the [...]

Little Boots and her unhealthy obsession!
Posted in Life Is... on 22 August 2008

The pieces of the puzzle, so to say, are starting to fit together. Remember a bit back when we mentioned Little Boots’ inability to think of a proper/fitting name for her US EP? Well, we think that may have something to do with her unhealthy obsession…with shapes. This is CLEARLY worse than if she were addicted to crack, [...]

The Shitometer, Take I
Posted in Life Is..., Music on 19 August 2008

There are two very important lessons to learn from the above chart.
A. The new Sugababes single is a proper grower. Still, despite fantastic-Ronsonfied-production-and-horns, the song is not very good. 6.5/10
B. The new Shiny Toy Guns single is a TOTAL dissapointment and an utter shame to humanity. Piss. Right. Off. 0/10

Nomi: Sexing up the rather un-sexable Hercules & Love Affair
Posted in Life Is... on 12 August 2008

We know Hercules And Love Affair are more about disco, house, and similar things you’d think DJ’s from 2000 and later crafted in their basements by hand if you lived solely on press releases…but the “sex” department is running a bit dry for them. This is, of course, IF YOU ARE “BLIND” (see what we did there)!

Posted in Life Is..., Music on 8 August 2008

Take notice of the bar to the right titled The Wall, Bow Down. ‘The Wall’ is, essentially, things that have our attention at the moment. You’ve probably (well, you should have!) noticed it changes pretty frequently. Does this mean we have A.D.D.? Possibly.
