that sounds okay, though. (lex would prefer scott storch.)

― benrique (Enrique), Friday, 27 October 2006 07:47 (nineteen years ago)

both sound great!

― The Lex (The Lex), Friday, 27 October 2006 07:48 (nineteen years ago)

I would prefer Scott Walker.

― Marcello Carlin (nostudium), Friday, 27 October 2006 08:04 (nineteen years ago)

how is timba a has-been and not scotty?

― benrique (Enrique), Friday, 27 October 2006 08:08 (nineteen years ago)

Because you cannae change the laws of physics.

The Neptunes? Anyone?

― zeus (zeus), Friday, 27 October 2006 08:16 (nineteen years ago)

These days they could certainly be anyone.

― Marcello Carlin (nostudium), Friday, 27 October 2006 08:26 (nineteen years ago)

girls aloud working with any of these 'yours for a million' R&B producers would be horrendous.

heard the demo version of 'Love Machine' on the Popjustice CD? weird and quite ropey but funny for the chorus:

how can i feel this way
hang on to what you say
this is so very ~~gay~~ strange

― ;_; (blueski), Monday, 30 October 2006 16:57 (nineteen years ago)

listened to whole greatest hits all the way through woooooo sugar rush!!!!!

― The Lex (The Lex), Monday, 30 October 2006 23:18 (nineteen years ago)

bosh 'i think we're alone now'!

sweary 'no good advice'!

― The Lex (The Lex), Monday, 30 October 2006 23:19 (nineteen years ago)

'money' is brilliant!

the 'i think we're alone now' cover is hardly the greatest tilt at the song, but it just about won me over by the end. Cheesy eurovision synth solos ahoy!

― zebedee (zebedee), Tuesday, 31 October 2006 15:56 (nineteen years ago)

oh man a pink floyd cover :-(

― benrique (Enrique), Tuesday, 31 October 2006 15:59 (nineteen years ago)

if only

― zebedee (zebedee), Tuesday, 31 October 2006 16:03 (nineteen years ago)

'money' isn't very good, it's a bit too messy. also horrid guitars.

girls aloud singles in order of greatness:

no good advice
the show
love machine
whole lotta history
life got cold
jump
i'll stand by you
see the day
something kinda ooooh
wake me up
sound of the underground
biology
long hot summer

― Marcello Carlin (nostudium), Tuesday, 31 October 2006 16:05 (nineteen years ago)

'long hot summer' is underrated and i'll take it over 'life got cold' and the ballads but that's some great singles there.

― benrique (Enrique), Tuesday, 31 October 2006 16:09 (nineteen years ago)

I agree with NRQ, "Long Hot Summer" is a longterm keeper rather than an immediate stunner. I go back to that and "Graffiti My Soul" more often than any of the other singles.

― Tim Finney (Tim Finney), Tuesday, 31 October 2006 20:54 (nineteen years ago)

'long hot summer' has long lost most of the charm it initially held for me! the coda is wonderful but too little too late to save it from the stodgy arrangement and limp key-change-missing chorus. 'graffiti my soul' is possibly girls aloud's pinnacle though.

― The Lex (The Lex), Tuesday, 31 October 2006 21:42 (nineteen years ago)

Biology is fucking amazing...the "Give it up, and then they take it away..." verse is J-pop brilliance.

― musically (musically), Wednesday, 1 November 2006 04:05 (nineteen years ago)

Graffiti My Soul wasn't a single.

― Marcello Carlin (nostudium), Wednesday, 1 November 2006 08:45 (nineteen years ago)

Yeah, I don't think anyone is saying it is though.

― Tim Finney (Tim Finney), Wednesday, 1 November 2006 09:05 (nineteen years ago)

I don't understand the Long Hot Summer hate at all - the "if you wanna get fresh get out of my car..." bit is fantastic.

Life Got Cold is their worst single.

― Matt DC (Matt DC), Wednesday, 1 November 2006 09:15 (nineteen years ago)

I don't mind "Life Got Cold", but Lex overrates it on his list. "Some Kinda Miracle" shoulda been a single, I usually forget that it wasn't one.

― Tim Finney (Tim Finney), Wednesday, 1 November 2006 09:18 (nineteen years ago)

I go back to that and "Graffiti My Soul" more often than any of the other singles.

I believe that sentence implicative of the presumed existence of "Graffiti My Soul" as a single.

― Marcello Carlin (nostudium), Wednesday, 1 November 2006 09:21 (nineteen years ago)

Such urgent issues.
-- Marcello Carlin (marcellocarli...), October 31st, 2006.

― benrique (Enrique), Wednesday, 1 November 2006 09:26 (nineteen years ago)

ULTRA CONTROVERSIAL ALERT my least favourite GA single is still "Love Machine".

― edward o (edwardo), Wednesday, 1 November 2006 09:41 (nineteen years ago)

Sorry Marcello, I meant the "other" in relation to "Long Hot Summer".

― Tim Finney (Tim Finney), Wednesday, 1 November 2006 10:33 (nineteen years ago)

'life got cold' has really great lyrics. LOADS of GA album tracks should have been singles! if i made a GA 15-track compilation half the singles would be nowhere near it.

ed o : love machine :: lex : biology

'biology' has the potential to be so good but is completely fucked by the ghastly production.

― The Lex (The Lex), Wednesday, 1 November 2006 11:15 (nineteen years ago)

'life got cold' is lyrically EMO, right? and it bites oasis. so OF COURSE lex digs it.

― benrique (Enrique), Wednesday, 1 November 2006 11:24 (nineteen years ago)

'life got cold' isn't emo at all, it's nihilist! it's all about being completely blank and having no soul (or a frozen soul).

― The Lex (The Lex), Wednesday, 1 November 2006 12:12 (nineteen years ago)

it's about being mizz about getting old.

haha k-punk likes things that are about blank and having no soul and he practically invented emo.

― benrique (Enrique), Wednesday, 1 November 2006 13:24 (nineteen years ago)

I think I agree with NRQ on this.

it's one of those songs that allow teenagers to indulge in premature nostalgia (see also "When You Were Young" and all "end of school" anthems ever esp. Green Day's "The Time Of Your Life")

― Tim Finney (Tim Finney), Wednesday, 1 November 2006 13:38 (nineteen years ago)

The album's number one in the midweeks, ahead of Winehouse (3) and the Who (6)!

― Marcello Carlin (nostudium), Thursday, 2 November 2006 11:55 (nineteen years ago)

shitty article:

http://enjoyment.independent.co.uk/music/features/article1962798.ece

didn't know they recorded round my ends.

haha i admire this: '"The higher it gets, the better the album will sell," says Walsh, "and ultimately that's what we're trying to promote."'

― benrique (Enrique), Friday, 10 November 2006 12:21 (nineteen years ago)

Last Christmas, your scribe found himself in the somewhat embarrassing position of being genuinely moved by their take on The Pretenders' "I'll Stand By You", though, in my defence, I'd have to cite its limpet-like adherence to the arrangement of the fine, Chrissie Hynde-penned original. Make no mistake about it: Girls Aloud can carry a tune.

What a goon.

― Jerry the Nipper (Jerrynipper), Friday, 10 November 2006 13:01 (nineteen years ago)

From the twanging, almost Monkees-like pop of "Love Machine", to the fabulously melodramatic, cod R&B-imbued "Biology"

You'd have thought maybe a music journalist would have, at some point in his life, heard both a) The Monkees b) any R&B ever.

'i'll stand by you' is amazing. i prefer GA's cover.

i have heard the monkees! but i hate them.

― The Lex (The Lex), Friday, 10 November 2006 13:15 (nineteen years ago)

lex in hating pop non-shock

five years pass...

Not sure anyone around here cares anymore but the comeback single just leaked (for about 5 minutes) and it's good.
