"I hate that Lily 'cockhead' Allen."

― Bashment Jakes (Enrique), Monday, 21 August 2006 10:13 (nineteen years ago)

JESUS WTF?

as in, I hovered my mouse over the word "Trainers" and I immediately get a popup advertising the Nike website!

"quietly made her foul point"

― rtccc (mwah), Monday, 21 August 2006 10:23 (nineteen years ago)

peaches and her posh mate sound hateful too, it must be said.

― Bashment Jakes (Enrique), Monday, 21 August 2006 10:25 (nineteen years ago)

Apart from the whole story sounds like cobblers.

― mark grout (mark grout), Monday, 21 August 2006 10:37 (nineteen years ago)

I mean, how do you 'gob' onto the back of someone's trainers?

Did she kneel down? Or was Peaches actually holding them?

― mark grout (mark grout), Monday, 21 August 2006 10:37 (nineteen years ago)

it's not the point, if it's true or not, the point is the mirror wants to print it and therefore (ooh, well, this bit is shaky) people want to read it.

― Bashment Jakes (Enrique), Monday, 21 August 2006 10:40 (nineteen years ago)

What it means is that Peaches Geloff's PR have pissed off the 3am Girls and Lallen's PR have given them an exclusive on something else.

For the record , I did not spit at the lovely Peaches Geldof . I went to the V festival and some silly journo came up to me and said ' Hi lily , that peaches , over there , said you are a stupid cokehead . Why dont you go over and have a word with her ? ' . I've known Peaches for a while now , and doubt she would say such a thing , so I ignored this journalist ( I use term journalist loosely ! ) and went about my day .
Thank you for your time

By the way Peaches is a lovely , incredibly intelligent young lady , and I want you to know there is no issue there whatsoever .

I still don't understand why people don't like Lily Allen, especially the hardcore poptimists. The argument that Lily is fake and nasty just doesn't ring true. If she is fake, then what is true? If she is nasty then how is her subject matter any nastier than a rapper singing about hos and bitches nd money?

― wogan lenin (dog latin), Friday, 25 August 2006 11:15 (nineteen years ago)

lily on time out's 'carnival' cover -- how apt for this week of debate on multiculturalism.

lallen's realness or lack thereof isn't why i dislike her (though it is why i resent her getting all this publicity). i fundamentally don't like her musical style, think the songs are shit, and find her voice (and esp the mockney accent) grating. i don't find her musical persona compelling either - in fact it slots neatly alongside a whole range of laddish/ladettish musical personae which are offputting to me. because of all of this, her hypocrisy in interviews also irks me, but as i've said a gazillion times, it's not something i focus on given how easily i'd forgive it if the music or persona were any good (see MIA, paris hilton, etc)

one month passes...

I see she's done the Kooks' "Naive" as a b-side to "LDN".

That's quite well meaning of her!

― mark grout (mark grout), Monday, 25 September 2006 12:46 (nineteen years ago)

i like her version of 'Naive' much more than i thought i would (see also cover of Khazi Chefs 'OMG'). Have warmed to 'LDN' LOADS also - it's so whirly.

― Konal Doddz (blueski), Monday, 25 September 2006 13:00 (nineteen years ago)

I could've qualified above by pointing out I HAET Kooks but perhaps not necessary.

― Konal Doddz (blueski), Monday, 25 September 2006 13:00 (nineteen years ago)

Amber and Alice like the song loads. Alice especially as she's just managed to ride a bike for the first time.

A date with ~~Elvis~~ Lily Allen, £2,000 ?

― mark grout (mark grout), Thursday, 28 September 2006 08:51 (nineteen years ago)

stevem why you liek lallen?

― EARLY-90S MAN (Enrique), Thursday, 28 September 2006 08:56 (nineteen years ago)

I'll wait until she rings me up to ask whether I've ever considered changing my gas supplier.

― Marcello Carlin (nostudium), Thursday, 28 September 2006 08:57 (nineteen years ago)

i only like half of her album. i prefer it when she actually sings rather than the more bantery stuff altho 'knock 'em out' and 'alfie' are alright. it is probably a fleeting fancy as have gone off 'Smile' a bit already. it's very stupid that 'LDN' still hasn't actually been released yet.

found the Soundboy Dub dnb mix of 'Smile' on slsk - pretty bad but not as bad as the grimey Gutter mix which is appalling. dance remixes of Allen are a VERY bad idea (see also Wookie mix of LDN) unless they're going to remove her voice almost completely or just shove a load of delays on some snippets for that dubby effect. her voice def. isn't suited to more uptempo treatment - but then her songs are all quite slow in their original form.

?? (I bought the CD single on Monday!)

I don't much like her indie cover versions.

― zebedee (zebedee), Thursday, 28 September 2006 11:23 (nineteen years ago)

i suspected it came out last Monday and didn't notice it at #27 last week on downloads.

― Konal Doddz (blueski), Thursday, 28 September 2006 11:25 (nineteen years ago)

the Warbox Original Dub of 'LDN' is OK and pretty much the only route to go with Allen remixes it seems.

― Konal Doddz (blueski), Thursday, 28 September 2006 11:26 (nineteen years ago)

hurray! 'nan you're a window shopper' is on the bsides too. they must
have cleared the sample (or removed it?)

― pisces (piscesx), Thursday, 28 September 2006 12:35 (nineteen years ago)

Saw this album in Tesco for sub-£5 already.

― steal compass, drive north, disappear (tissp), Thursday, 28 September 2006 12:37 (nineteen years ago)

seems to have sold reasonably well tho.

― Konal Doddz (blueski), Thursday, 28 September 2006 12:53 (nineteen years ago)

the shitty "rock" song she put on her album endears me to her so much for some reason

― Euai Kapaui (tracerhand), Thursday, 28 September 2006 13:31 (nineteen years ago)

About 150,000 last time I looked.

anyone else heard the Switch remix of LDN yet? completely bizarre, as usual. even stranger than his spank rock remix maybe.

― firstworldman (firstworldman), Thursday, 28 September 2006 21:24 (nineteen years ago)

it's not as good as the DJ Wrongtom 'STH LDN' mix - how do I get my hands on that?? and what about this South Rakkas Crew mix?

― Konal Doddz (blueski), Saturday, 30 September 2006 07:05 (nineteen years ago)

I thought the acoustic version of LDN she played on Jonathan Ross last night was awesome! She actually has a really, really good voice.

three months pass...

Next stop for Lily Allen: America! Although I think the most likely to succeed British export would be Amy Winehouse. But since Rupert Murdoch is bankrolling Lily's career to prove how huge MySpace is I suppose she'll do well regardless of how ill-suited she is for American radio.

― musically (musically), Sunday, 21 January 2007 20:52 (nineteen years ago)

SNL next week. I've still not heard any of her music.

― Marmot (marmotwolof), Sunday, 21 January 2007 21:06 (nineteen years ago)

Wow really, SNL? That's good for her...

Amy Winehouse is much more deserving of stardom, but Lil Allen is pleasant enough. I keep seeing these little commercials with her on MTV... some annoying voice screams LILY ALLEN and then she talks for a few seconds about random shit. I guess they're prepping us for LILY-MANIA.

― The Brainwasher (Twilight), Sunday, 21 January 2007 21:07 (nineteen years ago)

Amy Winehouse desrves nothing but a round house to the face (hopefully from Lily Allen)

Why do you say that?

― The Brainwasher (Twilight), Sunday, 21 January 2007 21:20 (nineteen years ago)

Lily Allen's acoustic performance of LDN on Jonathan Ross was really, really good. I think I may have said that somewhere else on this thread. But she does have really good pipes. I wish there was an MP3 of the audio of that.

If Allen succeeds beyond the indie/college crowd it will be quite unfortunate, as I can think of far superior acts that have tried to break the US to no avail. At the same time, perhaps it will give some hope to UK record execs that with a bit more push than they've given in the past, some of the better UK acts can be successfully exported.

― musically (musically), Sunday, 21 January 2007 21:44 (nineteen years ago)

america is welcome to her.

― the original hauntology blogging crew (Enrique), Monday, 22 January 2007 10:01 (nineteen years ago)

Well, "Alfie" the single will be up shortly.

No doubt, Sandie Shaw's "Puppet on a string" will be charting on downloads at the same time! (maybe not)

― mark grout (mark grout), Monday, 22 January 2007 10:26 (nineteen years ago)

I really don't undersytand why so many people don't get her...?

Amy Winehouse makes me want to puke on sight.

― wogan lenin (dog latin), Monday, 22 January 2007 11:56 (nineteen years ago)

I didn't like what I heard by Lily Allen, but I didn't get the sense that I wasn't "getting" something.

― R_S (RSLaRue), Monday, 22 January 2007 12:06 (nineteen years ago)

me too: please to explain dog latin?
