Lily Allen - This summers biggest racist?

XP I think your acting like a dick is a lot less charming than you think it is.

no trying to charm ya, mordy.

http://thequietus.com/articles/01070-lily-allen-it-s-not-me-it-s-you-album-review

anyway you're not alone, there are a lot of people who profess to like this shit.

this quietus piece reminds me how bad music journalists are at writing about music. in this entire review the only reference he makes to the, well, music is:

"Sometimes she's not getting enough juice out of her backing tracks (more Pet Shop Boys-ey this time around)"

thanking you.

so, the question is, has greg kirsten saved his best stuff for the new (and excellent) 'the bird and the bee' album ?

if it really is excellent then probably

You can imagine Flight of the Conchords doing many of these lyrics. "Everyone's At It" is pretty close to a 100% Conchords song, though:

Bret: So you’ve got a prescription and that makes it legal? / I find your excuses overwhelmingly feeble

Jemaine: So your daughter’s depressed — we’ll get her straight on the Prozac / But little do you know, she already takes crack

So if these lyrics are supposed to be funny you approve of them?

never a big fan of comedy music but if this were comedy, those lyrics would be funny.

given MGMT's recent success i believe theres a big market for concords knock offs

They're not supposed to be funny. Conchords are usually funny because you're laughing at them, not with them. (I mean, you're laughing with the performers, but not the characters.)

"Chinese" from her new album is so lovely. :)

never a big fan of comedy music but if this were comedy, those lyrics would be funny.

sooks about file sharing, "quits" music

Ugh, that remix is awful. Sorry.

Lily Allen - This summers biggest quit?

My guess? She's run out of things to write about.

Good on her if that's why (really). More should do that for that reason.

As someone who is actually making good coin out of it, I doubt she's going to quit the music business just yet. Maybe after the next album bombs.

"quits" music

did think she'd taken it up, tbh (right? right?)

The blog she's set up to promote paying for music is really cack-handed e.g. posting URLs but not actually making them work. Some interesting statements from a variety of artists tho - most of the argument revolves around artist rights vs consumer rights and their supposed diametric opposition as i see it - in that you read Tinchy or whoever's mostly reasonable (tho often naive or vague) comments and then dozens of posts from anon wankers saying things like "what's the problem you make all the money from touring, merch etc." as if paying for the music shouldn't even be an option.

she only got her break because she has a famous dad. The one thing this over-privileged kid should quit doing is whining.

she. is. awesome. thank ye kindly.

The blog she's set up to promote paying for music is really cack-handed deleted.

Um, Lily Allen got famous because of all the free downloads she offered!

(see top of thread for history)

as per the article linked :

She also wrote on her blog: "I made those mixtapes 5 years ago, I didn't have a knowledge of the workings of the music industry back then."

adorable

She's looking unprecedentedly foxy in the Professor Green vid:

(nsfw, context is - inevitably - an azealia banks beef, i'm by no means #teamazealia but how is this acceptable, how has she not been run out of town yet)
