What do you think the chances of Annie marrying me are?

― Alba (Alba), Sunday, 12 September 2004 00:33 (nineteen years ago) link

Get in the queue!

― edward o (edwardo), Sunday, 12 September 2004 00:36 (nineteen years ago) link

I'm not sure that is the way marriage works, but it is true that I have little experience of these matters.

― Alba (Alba), Sunday, 12 September 2004 00:41 (nineteen years ago) link

Okay, we won't have a queue. All in ILM-brawl, last man standing wins Annie.

― edward o (edwardo), Sunday, 12 September 2004 00:41 (nineteen years ago) link

I'm a lover not a fighter.

― Alba (Alba), Sunday, 12 September 2004 00:43 (nineteen years ago) link

(I will review this policy if needs must)

― Alba (Alba), Sunday, 12 September 2004 00:46 (nineteen years ago) link

YOU ARE CHEWING GUM! I AM CHOCOLATE!

― edward o (edwardo), Sunday, 12 September 2004 00:49 (nineteen years ago) link

You have made me realise that I have yet to appreciate the message of that song. I shall withdraw from the race until I have worked out what Annie wants in a man.

― Alba (Alba), Sunday, 12 September 2004 00:57 (nineteen years ago) link

This record fills me with joy. The good kind.

― adam (adam), Sunday, 12 September 2004 00:58 (nineteen years ago) link

it's a very good pop album.
as was boomania.

― frenchbloke (frenchbloke), Sunday, 12 September 2004 07:47 (nineteen years ago) link

Headman remix also terrific!

― JoB (JoB), Sunday, 12 September 2004 10:30 (nineteen years ago) link

The single (out tomorrow) has a b-side named 'Kiss Me', so London ILM, get on the slsk case.

― B.A.R.M.S. (Barima), Sunday, 12 September 2004 11:34 (nineteen years ago) link

She's such a tease!

― Alba (Alba), Sunday, 12 September 2004 11:39 (nineteen years ago) link

Her next b-sides will be named 'Can You Taste My Love?' and 'Come To Me', a cover of the JC Chasez track (with the line about masturbating intact and added moans and dirty talk).

― B.A.R.M.S. (Barima), Sunday, 12 September 2004 12:17 (nineteen years ago) link

Now Barima is such a tease.
(Dear God. Please make this happen)

― edward o (edwardo), Sunday, 12 September 2004 13:27 (nineteen years ago) link

I so rarely buy "new" records that I don't know where to shop...where in NYC does one find a copy of this on vinyl import? I've been rocking The Greatest Hit for years...

― Dan Selzer (Dan Selzer), Sunday, 12 September 2004 16:40 (nineteen years ago) link

I don't think its out at all yet.

The first half of this is great - just hearing the into ratcheted up my anticipation levels. Not so sure about the second half yet.

― Matt DC (Matt DC), Sunday, 12 September 2004 18:11 (nineteen years ago) link

I assume Dan is talking about the 'Chewing Gum' 12".

― Alba (Alba), Sunday, 12 September 2004 18:12 (nineteen years ago) link

Chewing Gum came out as a seven-inch in the summer, but it was a limited release thing. Good luck finding one...

from Rough Trade Shops weekly e-mail newsletter:

annie chewing gum 12 3.99
one of this years big tunes from annie with an inspiring richard x production gets a full release. the music is a dayglo hommage to 80's punk funk and especially the tom tom club and could fit on the coolest dancefloors or in the cd uk studio. it's a perfect mix of booty pinching basslines, clattering percussion and breathy vocals. the 12" features the vocal and mylo mixes plus the headman dub

What chart position is WBS predicting for this single?

― DJ Martian (djmartian), Sunday, 12 September 2004 18:33 (nineteen years ago) link

I dare not think. It really could go anywhere between 1 and 40, maybe even lower... I'd like to think outside shot at the ten, most likely somewhere between 15 and 25.

But I've always been shit at predicting.

― William Bloody Swygart (mrswygart), Sunday, 12 September 2004 18:35 (nineteen years ago) link

Plus I managed to condemn the 'gados to #67 in a piss-quiet week for singles (as will be shown by Barima's rundown later). Though they did beat the 5678's new single, which is something, I suppose.

― William Bloody Swygart (mrswygart), Sunday, 12 September 2004 18:47 (nineteen years ago) link

It's not been playlisted by BBC Radio 1, unfathomably, so I wouldn't expect a very big hit.

― JoB (JoB), Sunday, 12 September 2004 19:54 (nineteen years ago) link

For God's sake, why? It's catchier than real chewing gum! Looks like I'll have to either d/l or buy all the formats, though the 12" is probably a lock.

― B.A.R.M.S. (Barima), Sunday, 12 September 2004 21:01 (nineteen years ago) link

Oh god I'm going to have to buy all the formats, I want the Mylo mix and the new song and I can't download. This is on top of the Girls Aloud single... and there are albums that I really want coming out at a rate of one per week, and I still haven't got Showtime yet. Oh god.

― The Lex (The Lex), Sunday, 12 September 2004 21:05 (nineteen years ago) link

Oh, 'Love Machine' is alright from what I heard on the top 40. Not essential and definitely not better than our lovely Annie!

― B.A.R.M.S. (Barima), Sunday, 12 September 2004 21:12 (nineteen years ago) link

"Love Machine" is essential, I've heard it like four times ever and every time was sheer unadulterated joy, and this whole non-downloading thing is like the worst kind of delayed gratification ever... at least I got an mp3 of Chewing Gum before the home internet connection ceased.

it isn't on the playlist?!!!!!

not for the first time (or even the 100th) i wonder aloud what the heck could be going on over at fab fm towers.

― piscesboy, Monday, 13 September 2004 12:08 (nineteen years ago) link

She is in the METRO today. No, not the Metro, but Q?

― the bellefox, Monday, 13 September 2004 12:12 (nineteen years ago) link

I don't quite get the excitement surrounding this record from those that have heard it. It's pretty good and all that but there's very very little that matches Chewing Gum or Heartbeat - perhaps only Me Plus One.

What really hit me with Chewing Gum was that after years of trying the whole indie-dance-electro scene had finally come up with a pop song that was every bit as great as the best Proper Chart Singles - to the extent that it could've been given to Kylie and the world would've gone bonkers over it. Much of the rest of the album just lacks the fizz of Chewing Gum, or the whole plaintive mournful nostalgic comedown feel of Heartbeat and instead sits in an uneasy middle ground.

Also Come Together = k-rub.

― Matt DC (Matt DC), Monday, 13 September 2004 12:27 (nineteen years ago) link

Do you hate fun, Matt?

― Jerry the Nipper (Jerrynipper), Monday, 13 September 2004 12:35 (nineteen years ago) link

He's bound to change his mind, it happens every time. Just speak to his ex-fiancee.

― B.A.R.M.S. (Barima), Monday, 13 September 2004 12:41 (nineteen years ago) link

It's not fun enough, thats my problem!

(xpost, yes, that is probably the case, but still...)

― Matt DC (Matt DC), Monday, 13 September 2004 12:41 (nineteen years ago) link

I just bought the 12" (£2.99 in Virgin) as the first step in my new 'buy vinyl/fileshare for digital' policy. Is 'Kiss Me' (only on CD1) any good?

― Alba (Alba), Monday, 13 September 2004 12:51 (nineteen years ago) link

Waiting on The Lex, I think. Thoughts of mail order are growing.

― B.A.R.M.S. (Barima), Monday, 13 September 2004 13:08 (nineteen years ago) link

I don't understand JtN's post, really.

I am bewildered to see N. say that he has bought a vinyl record, from HMV.

I don't think I have heard the singer you are on about.

― the bellefox, Monday, 13 September 2004 13:12 (nineteen years ago) link

If anyone wants to hear "Music Plus One," but hasn't been able to get on p2p, I've got that song up on my blog today.

― Matthew Perpetua (Matthew Perpetua), Monday, 13 September 2004 13:14 (nineteen years ago) link

Matthew! We did it again! We posted the same thing at the same time, or wanted to.

― edward o (edwardo), Monday, 13 September 2004 13:15 (nineteen years ago) link

I put it up yesterday and you've gazumped me :)

― edward o (edwardo), Monday, 13 September 2004 13:16 (nineteen years ago) link

Ah, "Me Plus One," that is.

"Music Plus One" is a Cornershop song.

― Matthew Perpetua (Matthew Perpetua), Monday, 13 September 2004 13:16 (nineteen years ago) link

Virgin, not HMV, pinefox. HMV Sauchiehall St's vinyl section is poor.

Is the shock now reduced?

I think you would like Annie.

― Alba (Alba), Monday, 13 September 2004 13:18 (nineteen years ago) link

Can you introduce us?

― the bellefox, Monday, 13 September 2004 13:21 (nineteen years ago) link

I think I could, given the opportunity.

― RJG (RJG), Monday, 13 September 2004 13:35 (nineteen years ago) link

Just been to Fluxblog and Matthew is now the second ILM'er to admit he owns and likes that Twitch track.

― B.A.R.M.S. (Barima), Monday, 13 September 2004 13:44 (nineteen years ago) link

Our Twitch?

― Alba (Alba), Monday, 13 September 2004 14:02 (nineteen years ago) link

"The first half of this is great - just hearing the into ratcheted up my anticipation levels. Not so sure about the second half yet."

I'm with matt here; first half is great, second is kinda bland. Too much royksopp-like, maybe?

― fernando, Monday, 13 September 2004 14:04 (nineteen years ago) link

Maybe it is not the best album ever in fact but I think it is almost certainly going to be the best of whichever year it ends up being released in and it is still a thing of immaculate shivery-tickings. Kiss Me is orchestrated frostbite and suddenly AS IF BY MAGIC it is on soulseek, as are the Mylo/Headman-centric contents of CD2 also.

(I hope everyone is remembering to buy the Go! Team album today too)

― Alex in Doncaster (Alex in Doncaster), Monday, 13 September 2004 14:14 (nineteen years ago) link

Orchestrated frostbite - yum! I hate buying singles on multiple formats, though.

― Alba (Alba), Monday, 13 September 2004 14:18 (nineteen years ago) link

I have no idea if it's our Twitch*.

*Thanks for making me have to write that, you bastard!
