Better late than never...however, this week's reviews have to be short (so much to do, so little time...)
|
"All The Small Things" by Blink 182A live version follows, tinny and dirty, like a an empty can of baked beans. Then another live track "Dammit" pogos about on a trampoline for a bit. The video (included here) is class, in which the toothsome young Blinks extract the piss out of every boy band video ever and run around in (and out of) their underpants. Rating: 9/10 The Rest
"The F-Word" by BabybirdNope. Forgettable. Not as dull as everything else they've done since "You're Gorgeous", "The F-Word" still sniffs around the backside of blandness in a remarkably uninspiring way. "Beat The Boys Up" takes torpor and boredom and moulds them into 4 minutes of utterly pointless drivel. The video to "Bad Old Man" grinds past at the end, each frame an exercise in tedium. Rating: 3/10
"Ex-Girlfriend" by No Doubt"Leftovers" is worse, if anything, being a horrible ska crash of a song. The video is mildly dirverting. Once. Rating: 2/10
"Bag It Up" by Geri HalliwellTreat her like a headache. Desperately dire fag hag covers on the b-side. "These Boots Are Made For Walking" and "Perhaps, Perhaps, Perhaps" prove nothing other than the fact that Miss Halliwell has a voice like several foghorns. And I can scarcely bring myself to mention the video... Rating: 1/10 |
