no kate nash thread yet?

Lex word-for-word OTM, alongside Just Jack this makes me seriously question certain peoples' right to music. ATTENTION ALL U 'STREET LAUREATES', UR FAUX-NAIF 'POETRY' IS THE MOST BONE-HEADED, UNLISTENABLE SHITE I HAVE EVER HEARD, AND UR BACKING TRAX AREN'T EXACTLY CORDON BLEU EITHER

the 'Caroline's A Victim' track really is bad yes.

why, what have you got against dawn french?

The whole "awkwardly rapping my ever-so-perceptive observations of life as I know it on the street, in the club, and then back out on the street after I've been kicked out of the club BUT I'M REALLY SENSITIVE becoz I fancy him/her lol ;-) :):) haha but i's a serious artist 4 realz" schtick was copyrighted by The Streets a few years ago, wasn't it? And at least he did it with a modicum of natural charm (although I personally dislike his music). These people, though, are charlatans of the very, very highest order.

they're certainly no Mansun!

scorching ad hominem there, and now they're a step closer to reaching this year's FA Trophy final!

RIP Chad, heaven needed whatever it was that you contributed to Mansun

aw c'mon dom, you agree with me about kate nash! do you not remember your lily allen review? can there not be common ground?

chad had the best hair, SO THERE YOU GO

"I'm-a dirty dawg"

there's some piano chick w/some goofy keyboards and shit in about every city that's a good as this.

ok i've read a few weekend on sunday pieces on this broad, but none of them even tried to describe her music. perhaps i will visit "my space" and figure it out for myself, but nothing her boosters or she herself have said recommend her. i'm guessing that her backstory will be revealed sandie thom-style pretty soon. she's a young'un so it's not her fault entirely, but the journalists who promote her are running-dogs.

i'll be interested if she does some more folky stuff. i seem to remember she sings well.

she's being produced by paul epworth. probably not going to be too folky?

speaking of folky ..... k.nash left, v. bunyan right

album is pretty straight-up electro in parts.

my mum loves her.

riveting!

shut your FACE. And what have you done today?

She is a terrible artist. That she was strumming a guitar 6 months ago and is now riding beats as an "Electro" artist proves that she is just a manufactured entity.

I am offended by the LeTigre comparison, they roll legit.

I like "Foundations" like everyone else does...

But the kids are singing it ALL THE TIME!! and drivin me NUTS!

Oh and that Vashti pic above! blimey!

'foundations' would be an okay instrumental

I like "Foundations" like everyone else does...

waht

If only nobody at ATC Management read the Guardian, none of this would have happened.

And so I get (the kids/wife) the album.

ah.

Have you considered divorce?

Put it this way.

They think it's bobbins.

Suicide then?

I think it's bobbins also.

Hey, we don't *have* to play it any more!

If only there was some way one could hear an album before buying it.

This is fucking mad popular.

This is fucking mad popular shit.

there's a new one called 'ava' as well. when will this infection end?

and 'adele'.

my sister met jack penates (sp.). i worry about her.

penate (with a wispy thing above the 'n') if my memory serves correctly. we had to promote this crap on our radio station. although in future i'll be strictly off-message as far as this sort of music is concerned.

Okay I am now mad because I bought this because I really liked "Foundations" and I haven't heard the whole album yet and this thread has made me afraid to.

saw this on telly this morning bittuh fittuh rubbish

I mean sounds like a bad catherine tate impression

Okay I still like "Foundations" a lot, even though I can see how the quaver in her voice could eventually make me want to kill.

Halfway through, she is an order of magnitude less tiresome than Lily Allen.

did you pick up the hard-fi record too?

No, should I?

PS I have found some of the tedious bits of this album.

sorry depends what you're looking for I guess!

i keep hearing this and it gets more and more grating.

'Mouthwash' is astonishing

TBF I don't like her voice or her lyrics so this is a bit of a no-win

then this new one, with one line of lyrics and very little of her voice, should come across as her best effort to date

It did! But she was starting from a v. low point on the graph.

I'm intrigued when artists try to completely change up their audience in these death of the industry times tho.

then this new one, with one line of lyrics and very little of her voice, should come across as her best effort to date

^^^ remoinds me of this Lou Reed quote after the commercial success of "Sally Can't Dance" - "This is fantastic — the worse I am the more it sells. If I wasn't on the record at all next time around, it would probably go number one."

lol that is so much better than last time round, a pity it's not actually any good - i definitely would like to encourage kate nash to continue down this newfound path of "not bothering to write songs" though

wow this is horrible.

since you guys are all havin' a bad day cuz you listened to kate nash your old pal m@tt h3lges0n is gonna show you something cool:

hahaha

lex is pretty OTM though, I'd forgotten how precious and needy her album was and it seems she's gotten rid of that impulse by forgoing the actual songwriting process

haha that new song is amazingly bad

haha I had pac's "temptations" playing when I saw that. made it even more lolsome.

kate smash

so looks like she was wrong footing us with that noisy track. that's a hidden track on th album supposedly.

THIS however is more like it:

Not a Kate Nash fan at all, but I'll just leave this here and YOU guys can decide if it's a joke or not...

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JIB3YCGihp0

I really wasn't expecting that

also: "Written and recorded in less than 24 hours"

She sounds like she's giving birth while trying to channel the 'spirit' of Courtney Love.

the beginning of this is great

actually when she isn't screaming I really like this, and her screams only drag it down to "not gonna seek this out"

and furthermore

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OLZLZHi8HLA

her new EP is out

it appears, after 1.5 songs, to be a massive bag of shit

Is it the same kind of stuff as the 'Underestimate The Girl' track, or is it more in line with her earlier stuff?

it's definitely in the new vein, only less imaginitive

she's rather good on GLOW. Maybe that's what she should have been doing all along.

weirdly, she is actually doing a nostalgia tour re her debut soon.

https://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/episode/p07ctstz/kate-nash-underestimate-the-girl

Underestimate the Girl is an intimate portrait of British singer-songwriter Kate Nash and follows her journey over several years in her pursuit to remain a creatively and financially independent artist. After being dropped by a major label, Kate learns (the hard way) how to navigate the music industry as a self-sufficient businesswoman and creative.

I went back to Made of Bricks today after discovering her Christmas song and really, really liking it and... I like it now? Including "Dickhead"? what happened, I am confused
