also lo-fi reggaei-lite with AIDS references sounds EVEN WORSE than what she actually released.

― Roughage Crew (Enrique), Wednesday, 26 July 2006 14:20 (nineteen years ago)

I mean, at least Typically Tropical didn't put any AIDS references in "Barbados."

― Marcello Carlin (nostudium), Wednesday, 26 July 2006 14:23 (nineteen years ago)

High. The only thing that could possibly be better than lo-fi reggae-lite would be lo-fi reggae-lite with AIDS references.

i haven't criticised lallen on class grounds at all (though dom and marcello have). to be honest the mockney accent is massively grating to me, but i don't give a shit about her realness (i contend that her realness - in the sense that she writes the songs herself and so on, rather than she's lived the life herself - is more important to those who like her). i'm well aware that if i liked the music i'd forgove most of it in a heartbeat (i like MIA innit). but her MUSIC SOUNDS TERRIBLE and the lyrics mostly make me cringe.

― The Lex (The Lex), Wednesday, 26 July 2006 14:28 (nineteen years ago)

No! Her music is great and the lyrics are funny!

You're mixing "her" up with Billy Connolly.

― Marcello Carlin (nostudium), Wednesday, 26 July 2006 14:35 (nineteen years ago)

"You can't knock em out. You can't walk away.
Try desperately to think of the politest way to say,
'Just get out my face. Just leave me alone.
And no you cant have me number. Cause I lost my phone.'"

Come on. That's a GREAT verse!!

― Mr. Snrub (Mr. Snrub), Wednesday, 26 July 2006 14:44 (nineteen years ago)

It doesn't scan.

― Marcello Carlin (nostudium), Wednesday, 26 July 2006 14:48 (nineteen years ago)

it's not very good.

tbh NEITHER IS PARIS HILTON

but it's just very, very underwhelming.

― Roughage Crew (Enrique), Wednesday, 26 July 2006 14:50 (nineteen years ago)

Are you serious? (xxpost) LOL

― Sploshette Moxy (Dada), Wednesday, 26 July 2006 14:50 (nineteen years ago)

i have no idea what music you like from this decade, Enrique.

― Konal Doddz (blueski), Wednesday, 26 July 2006 14:51 (nineteen years ago)

me neither.

― Roughage Crew (Enrique), Wednesday, 26 July 2006 14:52 (nineteen years ago)

well, plenty of tings up to about 2003, but when i started reading ilx i went right off music.

― Roughage Crew (Enrique), Wednesday, 26 July 2006 14:52 (nineteen years ago)

And no you cant have me number. Cause I lost my phone.'

With the expensive education she'd had i would expect better English than this! Tut tut!

― Sploshette Moxy (Dada), Wednesday, 26 July 2006 14:54 (nineteen years ago)

well, plenty of tings up to about 2003, but when i started reading ilx i went right off music.

LIKE WHAT?

why did ILX put you off music?

― Konal Doddz (blueski), Wednesday, 26 July 2006 14:56 (nineteen years ago)

i liked basement jaxx and the neptunes and goldfrapp and um y'know whatever random r'n'b i heard + liked.

ilm's overload of STUFF and OPINIONS put me off. i don't like talking about music -- but tbh already by that point was kind of adrift, with dance music, and hip hop, and HATED the garage revival, post-strokes thing.

― Roughage Crew (Enrique), Wednesday, 26 July 2006 14:59 (nineteen years ago)

k thx

― Konal Doddz (blueski), Wednesday, 26 July 2006 15:04 (nineteen years ago)

i don't like talking about music

You do realise you are on a message board for talking about music?

― Raw Patrick (Raw Patrick), Wednesday, 26 July 2006 20:45 (nineteen years ago)

Is Lily Allen the voice of that "I need a man to stick it out.... Oohooohho, think slow (shaboom, shaboom)" song? Sorry if this shows my ignorance!

― JTS (JTS), Wednesday, 26 July 2006 21:00 (nineteen years ago)

On that NME cover, she looks like Jade Goody.

― JTS (JTS), Wednesday, 26 July 2006 21:02 (nineteen years ago)

No offence to her, it's just not a good photo.

― JTS (JTS), Wednesday, 26 July 2006 21:03 (nineteen years ago)

This album is OK, and has at least 3 or 4 really great tracks. So definitely not album of the year, but there's nothing wrong with it.

― zeus (zeus), Wednesday, 26 July 2006 21:35 (nineteen years ago)

wow. i think you're thinking of "mushaboom" by leslie feist. they couldn't be more different.

― william, it was really nothing (superpopelectro), Thursday, 27 July 2006 01:50 (nineteen years ago)

It's on the "Silentnight" mattress advert, if it helps.

― JTS (JTS), Thursday, 27 July 2006 02:35 (nineteen years ago)

'[the album] ends with a song called “Alfie” that makes you lose all faith in this country, a horrific “supply teacher trying to act cool to his third period class” piece of “yeah, weed makes you TIRED, innit blood” that destroys any hope that Allen could have Been Something.'

This is baffling - surely everyone has at some point known someone who smoked so much weed they weren't fun any more? It's not like she makes any generalisations about drugs.

― Nedpoleon (NedBeauman), Thursday, 27 July 2006 06:20 (nineteen years ago)

chris moyles just played the Vile version, and then to make matters even worse he did his own ..

― mark e (mark e), Thursday, 27 July 2006 07:06 (nineteen years ago)

Bitter and vindictive? It's a break-up album for heaven's sake! When did ILM become such a bunch of milquetoasts?!

this might be the real crux of it. if yall actually *read* dom's review, the rub isn't (just) that she's a well-connected media daughter with a private education, it's that she comes across as really unpleasant.

i take jerry's point but she goes beyond the call of break-up album duty. the video for 'smile' is like a sped-up ep of 'hollyoaks' or something. horrible.

― Roughage Crew (Enrique), Thursday, 27 July 2006 07:31 (nineteen years ago)

Hello..
You really think I'm niiiiiiice...
but when you play it twiiiiiice...
you'll see the inner viiiiiiice...

There. Done. Don't have to actually record it.

you're listening to him whY?

― Konal Doddz (blueski), Thursday, 27 July 2006 08:48 (nineteen years ago)

It's true love.

― alext (alext), Thursday, 27 July 2006 08:58 (nineteen years ago)

She ain't nasty, she just don't brook no shit from scummy men. Go sister!

I like the album, but she's going to be a better actress than pop star.

― Pete W (peterw), Thursday, 27 July 2006 09:15 (nineteen years ago)

...a comparable reinvention of the musical wheel...

― Roughage Crew (Enrique), Thursday, 27 July 2006 09:20 (nineteen years ago)

you're listening to him whY?

yeah - i know, dreadful thing to admit, but was taking the offspring to childcare, which isn't far enough to power up the mp3 player - so easy option.

― mark e (mark e), Thursday, 27 July 2006 09:24 (nineteen years ago)

Lilly Allen = good.
-- Dom Passantino (juror...), March 16th, 2006.

SEE ME

― Roughage Crew (Enrique), Thursday, 27 July 2006 09:24 (nineteen years ago)

sounds like dom and i had a similar experience. for 2/3 weeks i loved the album, then something clicked and the nastiness/unpleasantness really came home, the video subsequently sealed my opinion.

― mark e (mark e), Thursday, 27 July 2006 09:30 (nineteen years ago)

Loved the album for a month and LOVE IT STILL!

can't see the fuss either from the haytaz. the same people never ever mention the background of your thom yorkes or your mike skinners but suddenly it's a *girl* and everyone's got their
knickers in a twist.

and that paris hilton song i've just heard BY THE WAY and let me tell you it stinks. BLOODY AWFUL it is.

― pisces (piscesx), Thursday, 27 July 2006 12:24 (nineteen years ago)

yes. yes, that's what it is.

― Roughage Crew (Enrique), Thursday, 27 July 2006 12:27 (nineteen years ago)

Yeah, nobody ever called Mike Skinner out on his accent Pisces, that's a pretty salient observation.

― Dom Passantino (Dom Passantino), Thursday, 27 July 2006 12:28 (nineteen years ago)

And, man, if Thom Yorke does one more song about his rough urban upbringing, I'm gonna scream!

― Dom Passantino (Dom Passantino), Thursday, 27 July 2006 12:29 (nineteen years ago)

Does Lily Allen sing about rough urban upbringings? If so I'm glad I missed those; it's kind of hard to imagine.

― Euai Kapaui (tracerhand), Thursday, 27 July 2006 12:34 (nineteen years ago)

Speaking of Skinner:

Ms_smile writes:
"You may or may not know that one of Lily Allen's best friends is the beautiful t4 presenter Miquita Oliver. A couple of yearsago, Miquita was seeing The Streets' Mike Skinner and told Lily she was missing him, as Skinner was performing in Japan. She wasn't aware at the time that Lily had flown out to Tokyo for 24 hours to shag him."

― Raw Patrick (Raw Patrick), Thursday, 27 July 2006 19:51 (nineteen years ago)

I hear Lily Allen was best friends with MIA but then Lily slept with Diplo and MIA got all mad but then she found herself getting aroused and they totally did it.

(Note to self: write ILM slash.)

― Eppy (Eppy), Friday, 28 July 2006 02:19 (nineteen years ago)

i fucking hate thom yorke and mike skinner even more than lallen.

― The Lex (The Lex), Friday, 28 July 2006 07:08 (nineteen years ago)

Beautiful?

― Sploshette Moxy (Dada), Friday, 28 July 2006 08:49 (nineteen years ago)

fit

― Roughage Crew (Enrique), Friday, 28 July 2006 08:50 (nineteen years ago)

She looks healthy, I'll give you that

― Sploshette Moxy (Dada), Friday, 28 July 2006 08:50 (nineteen years ago)

yeah, but unfortunately she knows it.

― StanM (StanM), Friday, 28 July 2006 09:04 (nineteen years ago)

"considering the amount of prang you'd done you looked amazing on ~~cd uk~~popworld"

― Roughage Crew (Enrique), Friday, 28 July 2006 09:07 (nineteen years ago)

yeah, but unfortunately she knows it.

Weird. I don't get it at all.

― Sploshette Moxy (Dada), Friday, 28 July 2006 09:11 (nineteen years ago)

how would you describe her? 'average-looking T4 presenter'?

― Konal Doddz (blueski), Friday, 28 July 2006 09:17 (nineteen years ago)
