Pop will always be around. But I do think we're seeing the final splutters/fading of the careers of many of the acts we grew up with and came to love over time, and what we have to worry about is...

I hate Bohemian Rhapsody. Elly should have picked a better example.

This has to be one of my favourite gay movies ever, alongside The Living End, Totally Fucked Up, Milk, Cruising and A Single Man.

I convinced two gay friends to watch it with me on Sunday. They...

Nope! I think she/they delivered one of the best British pop albums of the decade. Let's not forget that La Roux (album) was almost perfect lyrically.

"But our communication is telepathy, what you...

Sorry to go back to 2009, but why didn't Catch 22 get a place on Hands? It's next to Earthquake, Symmetry and Mathematics for the best thing she ever did.

That was the sound of a tool chest falling down the stairs.

Goldfrapp!
And Robyn.

And Little Boots and La Roux. Come on girls, you've apparently been working on new stuff for two years (Little Boots dripdropping tracks doesn't quite count), and 2009 will...

"Hell" reminds me of this genius bit of advertising.

A comment on the Guardian story:

"Sarah Harding's verse is a spectacular train wreck. You can practically hear the unkempt hair, smeared lip liner and wobbling legs."

HAH. He totally nailed why...

It's gone down in my opinion since I first heard it. I still like the chorus and Sarah's line but the GO GIRLS GO is embarrassing, as are most of the lyrics. It's exactly what Girls Aloud shouldn't...

Which is understandable, since Fascination is the only Alphabeat song still heard in the UK and I'm guessing this is the market they have the most interest in.

Their success has even faded in the...

Express Non-Stop (the song) belongs on the soundtrack to Weird Science, right next to Tesla Girls and Turn It On. I therefore love it.

I'm halfway through my first proper listen and I think I...

If this is being released as the only single from a Greatest Hits, am I alone in thinking it won't come with a proper B-side, just a load of remixes? It sounds made to be remixed into cheap-sounding...

Pros:

Killer hook, killer chorus
Sarah's "walk on the wild side"
Those "eoooooow", whoosing synths, despite sounding almost identical to those in Bad Romance
The outro

Cons:
Most of the...

I know, I know, it's nonsensical and irrelevant and means nothing. But I still couldn't help sniggering.

I couldn't help sniggering at this comment on a story on the Guardian site about them splitting after the tour:

"Toilet attendants around the world breathe a sigh of relief."

The clip sounds very 2012. For some reason I was expecting something closer to that stomping, Tangled Up era sound. Not that I'm complaining. I can see this topping the chart. That said, I'll...

"Heinrich Himmler is doing his best to avoid the attentions of Fred West" is a killer line. Pun very much intended. Automatically one of my favourite PSB B-sides after only one listen.

In His...

Rivers sounds like a bad ABBA tribute. It's next to Fix Me Up and We Wanna Party in OoC's low points.

I resent a fourth single not being released from Out Of Control for one reason - a new GA single almost always meant a new b-side, and if She, Memory Of You and It's Your Dynamite had been anything...
