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?

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.

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

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...)

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.

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.

'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...

― That one guy that quit, Friday, 13 April 2007 08:14 (nineteen years ago)

I find it embarassing if she really said that. She's a bit wet behind the ears eh? That's the same impression I got of her in an interview on You Tube.

I still love her music, but if she starts saying things like that in her lyrics, I'm seriously going to have to rethink my love for her art.

I don't actually think she's that stupid...I hope.

― Bimble, Saturday, 14 April 2007 05:37 (nineteen years ago)

three weeks pass...

Newest Lily Allen fan -- right-wing 'marriage = man and woman ONLY' National Review writer Stanley Kurtz!

― Ned Raggett, Thursday, 10 May 2007 15:02 (nineteen years ago)

I don't know if I would call that song "conservative". She does sing at one point (to her stoner little brother):

Now how the hell do you ever expect that you'll get laid,
When all you do is stay in playing your computer games?

That doesn't really sound like a conservative sentiment.

― o. nate, Thursday, 10 May 2007 15:05 (nineteen years ago)

haha lily allen

― BIG HOOS aka the steendriver, Thursday, 10 May 2007 15:41 (nineteen years ago)

Conservatives get laid by staying in playing computer games?

― Alba, Thursday, 10 May 2007 15:45 (nineteen years ago)

Lallen's boyfriend is a fat balding bloke, so there's hope for ILX yet.

― Dom Passantino, Thursday, 10 May 2007 15:46 (nineteen years ago)

BIG HOOS aka the steendriver otm

― That one guy that quit, Thursday, 10 May 2007 15:48 (nineteen years ago)

I mean she's basically just telling him to get a life. I don't see that as being either conservative or liberal really.

― o. nate, Thursday, 10 May 2007 15:58 (nineteen years ago)

Plus it's suggested that she was the one that gave him his first joint.

― everything, Thursday, 10 May 2007 16:30 (nineteen years ago)

yeah but she has said that poor people get what they deserve too.

― That one guy that quit, Thursday, 10 May 2007 16:31 (nineteen years ago)

but wow if she smokes weed i guess she can't be a conservative.

― That one guy that quit, Thursday, 10 May 2007 16:32 (nineteen years ago)

She can, but she's feeling guilty about it.

― everything, Thursday, 10 May 2007 16:45 (nineteen years ago)

yeah but she has said that poor people get what they deserve too

Link?

― o. nate, Thursday, 10 May 2007 20:02 (nineteen years ago)

Is that mockney bitch STILL around?

"So what if w'ere middle class? Just cause your mum was too lazy to get her fat ass up off the sofa and make some cash. I shouldn't be able to make tunes yeah? ( which is more than you're doing by the way.) Kate nash is well better than you, as are all the other people you talk about. Anyways im off to meet Jack Penate, Jamie T and the maccabees, for cucumber and cheese sandwiches in the conservatory. Thanks for the song it really has made us see the light, now we know where we belong."

― That one guy that quit, Friday, 11 May 2007 07:19 (nineteen years ago)

Well, that's one "celebrity" signed up for the Cameron election rally then.

― Marcello Carlin, Friday, 11 May 2007 07:25 (nineteen years ago)

Oh jeez, lighten up people. She didn't say that ALL POOR PEOPLE GET WHAT THEY DESERVE. She's responding to someone who obviously had the spare time and motivation to make a parody track, and probably could get up off the sofa and make some cash if they wanted to.

― o. nate, Friday, 11 May 2007 13:59 (nineteen years ago)

Oh jeez, lighten up people is how Nazi Germany started.

cheryl probably does use autotune (bothered), but it's not like lily allen can sing for shit anyway.
