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)

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

Amy Winehouse makes me want to puke on sight.

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?

― the original hauntology blogging crew (Enrique), Monday, 22 January 2007 12:07 (nineteen years ago)

Anti-semitism.

― Dom Passantino (Dom Passantino), Monday, 22 January 2007 12:08 (nineteen years ago)

I dunno... I don't really see why people will slag her off when really Alright Still is the 2006 equivalent of Original Pirate Material with a cheeky lass instead of a chavvy lad. I won't listen to it all the time but tracks like LDN and Alfie are great summer songs, while things like Friday Night and Friend Of Mine represent the darker side. It's hard to try and sell her when I don't know what it is that people DON'T like about her if you see what I mean? People go "Oh she's a spoilt brat who's getting by on her Daddy's money" which doesn't really make sense because most singer pop stars come from a stage-school background and are endorsed by wealth. The bitchiness she displays on Alright Still is no different from Mike Skinner's rogueishness on OPM yet somehow she gets slagged off for it whereas Skinner was lauded in his day.

What is it people don't like about her?

OMG I HAD NEVER LOOKED AT IT THAT WAY BEFORE.

are you being sarcastic?

― wogan lenin (dog latin), Monday, 22 January 2007 12:21 (nineteen years ago)

again?

― wogan lenin (dog latin), Monday, 22 January 2007 12:22 (nineteen years ago)

Again, Still

― Dom Passantino (Dom Passantino), Monday, 22 January 2007 12:22 (nineteen years ago)

Lily was a big fan of getting the absolute shit fucked out her after a show...(NSFW, blimey)

― King Boy Pato (patog27), Monday, 22 January 2007 12:41 (nineteen years ago)

Amy Winehouse has a great voice. No comment on her lyrics

― the Dirt (FunkDirt), Monday, 22 January 2007 12:47 (nineteen years ago)

It would help if she stopped singing like some kind of cigar-smoking overweight whiskered Mississippi blueswoman.

― wogan lenin (dog latin), Monday, 22 January 2007 13:09 (nineteen years ago)

...who also happens to be lobotomised.

"No...Nurrgh... Noh!"

― wogan lenin (dog latin), Monday, 22 January 2007 13:09 (nineteen years ago)

Maybe she is. Modern surgury is amazing, look at MJ

― the Dirt (FunkDirt), Monday, 22 January 2007 13:11 (nineteen years ago)

one month passes...

http://media.www.dailyiowan.com/media/storage/paper599/news/2007/02/08/Opinions/Skin-Deep.Sincerity-2705229.shtml

I don't even know where Iowa is.

― Dom Passantino, Friday, 23 February 2007 16:07 (nineteen years ago)

Isle Of White, Asshole

― the next grozart, Friday, 23 February 2007 16:14 (nineteen years ago)

heard this in a shop today... I think I came around on it somehow. It's not that bad really.

― fandango, Friday, 23 February 2007 18:08 (nineteen years ago)

his quoting of grant hill provides a devastating argument.

― keythkeyth, Saturday, 24 February 2007 17:08 (nineteen years ago)

I have been Lily Allened and I'm so much happier for it.

― Bimble, Sunday, 25 March 2007 23:14 (nineteen years ago)

I'm seeing her tomorrow...I've heard mixed reviews of her concerts but I'm looking forward to it.

― musically, Sunday, 25 March 2007 23:46 (nineteen years ago)

After all I've said about her... she is wearing some nice shoes in the video to "Alfie"

― Dom Passantino, Sunday, 25 March 2007 23:50 (nineteen years ago)

But it's sold out tomorrow! WHY ME? Why? Am I to hang around outside the gig and pay a zillion for a ticket? Am I reduced to that? Really?

― Bimble, Monday, 26 March 2007 00:26 (nineteen years ago)

Baby she beats the shit out of the Streets, that's what I say.

― Bimble, Monday, 26 March 2007 00:27 (nineteen years ago)

Things sell out at the Showbox so fast...I just saw that the Arctic Monkeys are playing there and it's already sold out. I think they're a bit too big for the Showbox now, the Moore seems more their type. Check CL for tickets...be prepared to pay at least $50 or so though.

― musically, Monday, 26 March 2007 00:59 (nineteen years ago)

and to think when she played the crocodile a few months ago it was three quarters and most people didn't seem to give a shit

― jergincito, Monday, 26 March 2007 12:05 (nineteen years ago)

has anyone mentioned the greatness of opening a summery girly pop tune with the lines:
' riding around on my bike all day / cause the filth took away my motor'

― grap-fu, Monday, 26 March 2007 12:19 (nineteen years ago)

Licence, there!

Baby she beats the shit out of the Streets, that's what I say.

Bimble on Monday, 26 March 2007 00:27 (12 hours ago)

beats, and the rest! (hem hem...)

― Mark G, Monday, 26 March 2007 12:31 (nineteen years ago)

no, not one over-pampered word magazine/omm-brand thirtysomething music journalist who neither regards the police as filth nor refers to their car as a motor has remarked on the great urchin pop sass of this line, not one.

― That one guy that quit, Monday, 26 March 2007 15:16 (nineteen years ago)

Perhaps it's because we recognise a poor Chas and Dave imitation when we hear one.

― Marcello Carlin, Monday, 26 March 2007 15:20 (nineteen years ago)

Chas and Dave > Lallen.

― Dom Passantino, Monday, 26 March 2007 15:26 (nineteen years ago)

'Scuse me while I kiss the sky!

She is the woman of the year. Hormones or sexuality aside, she's made me so proud for British music. Been several years now since the Brits have presented me with a decent new musical act and boy am I a happy anglphile now.

― Bimble, Saturday, 31 March 2007 05:33 (nineteen years ago)

"And no you can't have my number/cause I lost my phone"

This is the line that killed me. Perhaps it's not so much the lyrics but the melody. I don't know but whatever it is, it witched me out. I am taken.

And the calypso horns on the song that follows! That's why I love her!

Young though she is, she knows Happy Mondays. Let's keep this in mind.

― Bimble, Saturday, 31 March 2007 05:36 (nineteen years ago)

Anyone here know Death By Chocolate? A few bits remind me of that as well.

― Bimble, Saturday, 31 March 2007 05:39 (nineteen years ago)

"Take What You Take" was the song she hated so much...and the one I found most embarassing for her...but if you listen to the big climax at the end of that song...The Pixies won't have a thing on her this year, mark my words.

Don't even get me started on the soothing reggae of "Friend Of Mine"...

― Bimble, Saturday, 31 March 2007 06:02 (nineteen years ago)

Woman of the Year, Album of the Year, etc etc. I am smitten. Good old fashioned Brit stuff, man. That's what I need. Always I want to have good old fashioned Brit stuff in my life. Americans couldn't do a decent reggae track if their lives depended on it. In fact, they wouldn't even try. It's not their forte.

I love her cover of the Kooks' "Naive" too. I love it all. She's my hero.

― Bimble, Sunday, 1 April 2007 07:49 (nineteen years ago)

BIMBLE DO YOU LIKE LILY ALLEN?

― GOTT PUNCH II HAWKWINDZ, Sunday, 1 April 2007 08:07 (nineteen years ago)

This is a job for...*deep voice* Mr. Obvious Man!!!!

In a single bound!

― Bimble, Sunday, 1 April 2007 08:25 (nineteen years ago)

Hahahaha.

― Bimble, Sunday, 1 April 2007 08:30 (nineteen years ago)

So, Bimble, did you get to see her? I thought she was great live; I couldn't stay for the whole show, but what I saw was terrific.

Fuck the Showbox for making the Jarvis Cocker concert 21+ though. Or at least for having it a month too early.

― musically, Sunday, 1 April 2007 09:01 (nineteen years ago)

No, I confess I let it go, I didn't bother. I only had about enough money for some necessary groceries and felt it would be ridiculously irresponsible of me to waste $50 on a ticket. Of course, if I'd gotten paid that day I would have gone.

I regret it now of course, but oh well. I just had a feeling at the time that it wasn't meant to be. She's young. She'll be back.

― Bimble, Sunday, 1 April 2007 09:12 (nineteen years ago)

i thought you were british, bimble. now i get it.

― That one guy that quit, Sunday, 1 April 2007 11:27 (nineteen years ago)

Hahahah. Probably a common mistake.

― Bimble, Sunday, 1 April 2007 16:12 (nineteen years ago)

Lilly Allen is....HOT!

― wesley useche, Monday, 2 April 2007 01:03 (nineteen years ago)

Hey, now I'm paying attention to this thread since my npr-listening friends are into Lily Allen! Dom, Iowa's that middle of the US state where I am. I think the Passatino-hate is coming from the larger of our partying college towns, unsurprisingly.

― mh, Monday, 2 April 2007 16:47 (nineteen years ago)

it's amazing to me that that dude spends pretty much the entire piece discussing passantino's article and yet doesn't quote from it once.

― s1ocki, Monday, 2 April 2007 16:51 (nineteen years ago)

i agree with the iowan person and not dom when it comes to lily allen - i personally do not give two (2x) shits about lily allen's "background" except whatever of it comes out in her music; i also don't mind that she doesn't clown on herself - i mean if that were a requirement i'd have to throw out 90% of my record collection

plus you have to admit it is a legendary piece of music writing that includes the sentence "Grant Hill once said that image is nothing, thirst is everything" haha

― Tracer Hand, Monday, 2 April 2007 17:49 (nineteen years ago)

"Top-tier production, mos def."

there aren't enough owls on the internet to do this justice.

― That one guy that quit, Monday, 2 April 2007 18:47 (nineteen years ago)

the guardian has really gone big on this 'ldn is a victim' track. i feel blessed never to have heard either it or any of the people mentioned in it and the old geezer the graun brought in today seems to be pretty much 8080, but lily allen's reaction is certainly instructive...
