...or is it? I think so! The latest(ish) videos, the odd review,
exciting new bands, what's being released, what we're listening to, that
good thing off of the telly the other night and who said what about
whom. It all might possibly be on this page... by the way, we've got a
bit of a new look. Did you notice? Same old shit, just ever so slightly
different. Why not
send us some news? Carry on...
Pile of hits
31.12.2007
And as the year 2007 draws
to a close, we reflect on what was ruddy good in the exciting world of
popular music, much like every other blog. We've decided the ten albums in
the pile of CDs below are the bestest most goodest ones of the last 12
months. Let's have a look...
1.
Siouxsie'Mantary' 2. Rilo
Kiley'Under The Black Light' 3.
Dragonette'Galore' 4.
Girls Aloud 'Tangled Up'
5. New Young Pony Club'Fantastic
Playroom' 6. Chungking
'Stay Up Forever' 7. Sarah Nixey'Sing, Memory' 8. Tracey Thorn 'Out Of The Woods' 9. The Go!
Team'Proof Of Youth' 10.
M.I.A.'Kala'
We also had a few runners
up with Roisin Murphy's
'Overpowered', Siobhan Donaghy's
'Ghosts', Feist's
'The Reminder' and Amy Winehouse's
'Back To Black' (even though the latter actually came out in
2006!).
The best tracks of 2007 by
my reckoning are (in no particular order); M.I.A.'Boyz'; Siouxsie
'Into A Swan'; Deborah Harry'Two Times Blue (Nickel & Dime Mix)';
New Young Pony Club'The Bomb';
Feist'My Moon, My Man';
Groove Armada'Song 4 Mutya';
LCD Soundsystem'Freak Out/Starry
Eyes'; Rihanna 'Shut Up &
Drive'; Garbage'Betcha';
Girls Aloud'I'm Falling';
Roisin Murphy'Let Me Know';
Rilo Kiley'Give A Little Love';
Dragonette'Black Limousine';
Chungking'Slow It Down';
Robyn'With Every Heartbeat'
and Sugababes'My Love Is Pink'.
I do hope some of your own favourite's made it into my
lists... see you next year!
Out Monday!

So, anyway, I must have taken my finger off the pulse for a micro-second
because I only just heard this track today (!) and it turns out it's really
quite old. It's been out in Australia for, like, a year, and it came
out here in the UK on Data Records a whole month ago! Shame on me...
It's obviously not quite been a roaring success so I can't be the only one
in the dark. Why not enlighten yourselves and listen to it?! It's by
TV Rock Vs Dukes Of Windsor and it's
called 'The Others'. I actually thought it was some sort of
The Similou remix when I first heard it
but it's not, so there you go... There's also a real video for this but it's
a.) not that brilliant and b.) I can't get it to stream properly on
Youtube but
by all means try... Or you can also see it, and click some links to buy
it, just over
here. Yesterdays news - today!

Last
Christmas, we didn't give you our hearts. Instead, we made you a lovely
digital Christmas Album to download called 'Never Mind The Baubles -
Here's Christmas!', do you remember? We also sent an extra special
email, containing a link to a bonus 'Stocking Filler Edition'
album, which went to everyone who said thank you or wished us a Merry
Christmas in return, but all the miserable and ungrateful lot reading this
wouldn't know anything about that... This year, we're being even more
generous and offering you thrice as much music to help soundtrack your
seasonal shenanigans. It's 'Never Mind The Baubles - Here's
Christmas! v2.0' - the deluxe five disc, 101-track, digitally
un-remastered, definitive, special limited edition, collectors box set!
Minus the box!!
Yes, it's our Christmas gift to you all! Almost six hours (crikey!) of
seasonal tracks, some traditional, some modern, some great, some a bit shit
and some down right bizarre! From the tinsel-tastic glam of the 70s
classics from the likes of Slade,
Mud and Wizzard,
to the swinging, easy tunes from Christmas crooners
Dean Martin, Nat King Cole
and Peggy Lee, to the tacky pop of
cheesy acts like Steps,
Fast Food Rockers and
Whigfield, they're all here! Joining them
round the log fire for a mince pie are more recent bands such as
Razorlight,
Coldplay, Oasis and
Girls Aloud and there's even some
anti-Christmas, bah-humbuggery from The Long
Blondes, Cristina and
The Creatures - all collected together in
one generously stuffed seasonal package! This special holiday season box set
spectacular is available digitally now! So, to
celebrate the birth of our lord, Jesus Christ, why not indulge in some
festive, illegal downloading? Below are a stupid amount of links, each
taking you to a musical winter wonderland of timeless Christmasy music from
my own vast collection, ranging from the sublime to the ridiculous... There
are 101 (!) festive dittys in total, with about 20-ish tracks on each 'disc'!
Collect them all! If you want! You could be here all day! I've left it a bit
late this year haven't I?! Merry Christmas! Etc!

This year's Christmas
number one? Yep, probably something God-awful off of 'The X Factor'
again... but in an alternative reality, the delightfully bleak,
frost-covered tones of our very own Snow Queen,
Sarah Nixey, would be crowned the national festive chart topper.
Sarah appears on
The Black Arts new single, a special yuletide collaboration
from Black Box Recorder and
Art Brut. That's the video, up there. 'Christmas Number One' is released digitally today and on limited
edition Christmas tree-green 7" vinyl on 10th December, via Fantastic

Lucky This Christmas
01.12.2007
Hey there, why so sad?
What's that you say? Your 'Lips Are Unhappy'? Scared you'll be
'Lonely This Christmas'? Well don't be sad, because this
Christmas you can buy yourself (or a loved one) a nice little bundle of fun
in the shape two shiny new mp3's from scrumptious indie pop darlings
Lucky Soul! What's more, you'll be doing
you bit to make the world a nicer place, as all profits are going to
charity. What's even more is that for the ludicrous price of only 40p, you
can buy them twice and still have change for some roast chestnuts!
Lucky Soul are releasing these two songs
together in one digital download bundle in conjunction with
Last FM who want to push them to the top
of the charts and if that's what they want to do, then who are we to stop
them? So if you'd like two tracks for small change and give a little money
to those less fortunate than yourselves then nip on over to
7Digital, have a listen and then pre-order. You'll receive your bundle
on Monday 17th December... Lovely!

Siouxsie, Roundhouse (05/11/07)
10.11.200
And so, earlier in the
week, we fled to big, bad London for a date with Siouxsie...
There she is! The venue
was packed out and she was on top form.... but I would say that, I love her.
She performed nine of the ten tracks on her new album, 'Mantaray',
kicking off with the sugary pop fizz of 'They Follow You', as
well as a few surprises ('Cish Cash'! Without
Basement Jaxx?!) and some old
Banshees classics ('Arabian Knights',
'Israel', 'Hong Kong Garden'). A few of the big,
sweaty, die-hard punk blokes were most definitely in attendance for the
later, I hasten to add. Those early 80s Banshees
t-shirts they'd squeezed themselves back into were thread-bare and simply
not as absorbent as they used to be, so I ended up a little bit sweaty...
and none of it was my own! But, I'm a forgiving type and we were all
worshiping at the Siouxsie alter so,
y'know... I rose above it. A highlight for me was 'Sea Of Tranquillity',
which became a lilting tropical calypso serenade
from under the ocean, with the audience swaying to and fro like stunned
jelly fish. Or something like that. 'Into A Swan' was also a
perfectly executed, electric statement of intent which was accompanied by
some serious feathery swan-wing-type dance moves, on and off the
stage... "feelings so strong can't be ignored", indeed...
Now, it's no secret that
Siouxsie seems to have avoided the
ravages of time, like she has taken part in some kind of 'Picture Of
Dorian Gray'-esque deal with the Devil, and this evening she cut a
striking pose, lithe and predatory, striding along the stage like a wild
cat. Her Pam Hogg catsuit was a new
creation this evening, silver, black, white and skintight, leaving little to
the imagination... but the eye make up and heels clearly stated, 'you
wouldn't dare...'. Her leg kicks were fierce, her fingers were spidery
and her voice was thick with passion. Oh Siouxsie,
you truly have me captivated... sigh. So, anyway, she ended the generous
encore with a rendition of The Doors' 'Hello, I Love You', all snaky and whispery... and then she
strutted off, deep into the night, leaving a chill in the air... 'til
next time. Spotted in the audience were
Neil Tennant, Gary Numan and
Paul Morley!

Hereis the new
Spice Girls video. I don't think much of the song...
Some observations, then;
Emma is obviously hiding her post-baby flabby gut under that nice
big table!
Mel B hasn't learnt any new dance steps, has she? Same old arm
movements going on there!
Mel C really does ham it up, doesn't she? Loose the fringe
already!
Victoria has nothing but some slutty 'underwear' on in the middle bit...
my children in need don't need to see that, thank you very much,
missus!
and finally...
Geri... grabbing every shot like it was
her last with her silly little gloves and her lumpy little torso!
Dear me, we're a bit pissed off with this aren't we? Sorry. There's always
the new Spice Girls Marks & Spencer
TV ad to look
forward too...

so slightly scary this Halloween! For example, devilishly handsome electro
sleaze-poppers, Dangerous Muse, have
released a new song! You can listen to it! No, they still haven't done an
album yet (it's just getting annoying now, isn't it?) but 'Every Day
Is Halloween' is a nice enough tune, so thanks very much lads. I
can't find it on iTunes UK, which is a bummer, but you can still
listen to it
here, in between apple-bobbing or during the ad breaks of 'Most
Haunted Live', obviously...

Watches are so yesterday, anyone will
tell you that. Thankfully, that gap between pop music and wrist wear is
being bridged, all around the world, right now! Here's a handy top three
list of all the hot wearables we'll be slipping our limp wrists into this
season...
01 Spice
Girls get literal with their new 'Greatest Hits'
limited edition 'gift pack', out 12th November. Aside from the hits CD,
the DVD of promo videos, the karaoke CD, the remix CD and some
postcards, the girls have chucked in a friendship (never ends) bracelet!
It's sure to be on everyone's wrist round the dinner table this
Christmas...
Buy
02 M.I.A.'s
range of accessories includes hoodies and flip flops, but it's this
tropical wrist band we're sporting! Coming in 4 dayglo colours (blue,
yello, orange and, our fave, green), M.I.A.
has gone practical as well as fashionable. Inside the band you'll find a
USB key, with mp3s, videos and photos!
Buy 03 Modular's Aussie,
electro-new rave one man band Muscles
has been promoting his debut album, 'Guns Babes Lemonade',
with this lovely gym-friendly sweat band, emblazoned with his own
moniker. The album features his underground club hit, 'Sweaty',
so it's another golden marketing moment! Genius! Get your free sweat

Never seen your face...
25.10.2007
...but
I know I'm in love! This is Bishi. A
legend on the London club scene, Bishi
is a singer, multi-instrumentalist & DJ, who has been collaborating with the
cream of the underground UK music scene for years now. The well-known face
of London’s notorious cult nightclub Kash Point,
Bishi has worked with
Patrick Wolf,
Simon Bookish, Capitol K,
Midnight Mike,
Zongamin and Riton. Her debut
EP, 'BitPop', sold out on the day of release but will soon be
reissued (hurrah!). She's finally found the time to capture her unique blend
of Eastern-urban folk-pop on her debut album, 'Nights At The Circus',
which is about to be released on Gryphon Records. The digital version
is out now - click
here to hear snippets and purchase! The first single lifted from the
album is the electro-psychedelia epic 'Never Seen Your Face'
(part of our August compilation!), released on limited edition clear vinyl
7" and two remix-packed CDs earlier this month. The remix package is just as
eclectic as Bishi's own exquisite
influences and work to date, coming from trendy types
Adam Sky (AKA Adamski),
R-Complex,
Glamorre, The Lovely JonJo,
Jet from cult act
Trash Fashion and Joe Atari
of Bar-Tok. You can order the
physical single now over
here, as well as digitally
here. In this new cultural landscape, Bishi
is emerging as an exciting and vibrant artist to watch! Unquote! Head
over to
BishiSpace now for samples, and if you sign up to her mailing
list, you'll get a free mp3! That's nought pence!
This isn't any ordinary DVD
plug...
24.10.2007

DVD! "You f'coffee, sir?". A-list Airline Hostess
Pam touched down for a sell out night
in London's Bloomsbury Theatre earlier this year to bring you this,
her first all-live, all-singing, all-dancing DVD release, packed with bonus
features! See why Cher,
Madonna and Sir
Elton John have been booking her services for their own private
jets and learn the truth about those bitches in cabin crew. Fresh from a
major sell out UK tour, including stints in Edinburgh and New York,
Pam is here on DVD to meet all your

I'm a huge Siouxsie fan, though you've
be forgiven for not knowing this recently as I've barely mentioned her
amazing debut solo album, 'Mantaray', which came out last
month... but I will be seeing her at The Roundhouse on
November 5th, so expect some major thumbs up afterwards. So, yeah,
Siouxsie is looking very fit at the
moment, sporting some fabulous dress and catsuit designs from her old mate,
fashion designer
Pam Hogg...
...as has Ms Minogue
in her latest video for '2 Hearts'...
...but I know who I'd rather zip up/down! Anyway,
Kylie get's plenty of attention so back to
Siouxsie. Here's a video of La
Sioux performing her cracking new single, 'Here Comes That Day', on
'Transmission' from
a few weeks ago...
Siouxsie
is also scheduled to appear on the news series of 'Later With Jools
Holland' on Friday 2nd of November, where she will be performing
three live tracks. You can order the new single over
here on 7", 12" and CD
formats, or
here digitally! Oh, and I must plug my friend Peter's amazing new
book, 'Songs From The Edge Of The World - A Chronological Guide To The
Songs Of Siouxsie & The Banshees', which is available to order
here! Check back soon for that live review... or see you down the front!

...it's the new Bodyrox Featuring Luciana
video, 'What Planet You On?'! Kinda like
Betty Boo's 'Where Are You Baby?' revisited, me
thinks, with a dash of 'Flash Gordon' for good measure. We'll
just gloss over the fact that her last single, the one with
Martijn Ten Velden, was a big hairy
flop, although to be honest, that was probably because the release date
changed a million times and no one stocked it anyway. Hopefully, someone
will buy this from somewhere when it's released on 26th November.
Luciana has an album out early next
year, which will probably be quite good.

Well, I just got back from glamorous
Huddersfield (?!) a few hours ago. I went down to catch Miss
Sandra Bernhard, who was a delight.
She's 52! I didn't know that 'til the other day. She looked fab, a little
lacy number, not much more than a negligée, black stockings and some
fabulous Manolo Blahnik killer heels. It
was extremely intimate, we were all watching the stage waiting for her to
enter and she just appeared to the left of the front row, strutted along,
into the isle, walked up and back down, all the while singing away... She
sang 'And I'm Telling You I'm Not Going', segued into a
monologue about her man up and leaving her. She picked on the guy close to
me and attacked the blond girl he was with for taking him from her ("and
you have the gall to turn up here today with this blond bitch in a cheap
sweater and a tacky cowboy boot!") ...before singing 'The Boy Is
Mine' and then she went up onto the stage. She ranted about
Nina Simone ("I want my Porgy money!"),
Stella McCartney's vegan shoes, US
politics and Britney Spears, amongst a
myriad of other hot topics. She also sang Guns 'N
Roses and Prince. For her
encore, she returned dressed in a cheeky police woman outfit, teamed with
some silver kinky boots. I was on cloud nine... She's such a star.
You'd all have LOVED it. Tickets for her London shows are still on sale BTW,
kids...

Sorry, I'm not feeling the new
Britney 'off the rails'
Spears single, 'Gimme More'.
It leaked last week and I still can't get excited. It could be any old
Lisa Scott-Lee singing, as far as I'm
concerned. Dull, dull, dull. The only redeeming quality is the opening 2
seconds... "It's Britney, Bitch!". I suggest the powers that be over
at Jive HQ release the first 2 seconds as a single in it's own right
and go for the shortest ever number one single on downloads alone! And as
they most certainly will not, I've done it myself!
Click here to download 'Gimme Less'. It's perfect as a
ring tone, a message alert or a morning alarm for your mobile phone...

This chap in slap is the divine
viKtor. He has been straddling the London
club scene since 2003 and his name is synonymous with all things pop, electro
and dance. His fashions, make up, slave-like dolly dancers and extravagant stage
shows have established viKtor's reputation
on an international scale and New York, Paris and Berlin have been his
playground. Cool London indie label, Use Your Teeth, released
'Dreamy Eyes', viKtor's debut EP, in
2005, which quickly sold out of it's limited run. 2006 saw a second EP,
'Dance Like No One's Watching', a digital release receiving heavy
rotation via MySpace. We like a man in heels here at
The International House Of Pussy so we've
been gagging for a full length encounter with viKtor
for months now and finally, we have an album to play with! 'Dance Like No
One's Watching' includes collaborations with producers
Tim Benton of cult synth-poppers
Baxendale, Xavior
(Spanky & Xavior,
Dex Dextor) and Richard Torry, of
legendary avant-pop group Minty, with
Leigh Bowery. With his debut album,
viKtor unleashes ten slices of electronic
pop perfection. Through unforgettable melody and a healthy dose of humour, 'Dance Like No One’s Watching' cements
viKtor's reputation as a leading figure in the UK’s electro pop
scene. 'Dance Like No One’s Watching' is in our top 10 recommended
albums this month and out now as a digital release, through iTunes
here internationally... buy it!

We're just loving this new
track by one Taxi Doll. The music
channels are all over it at the moment and it's quite frankly amazing. Chuck
in a few comparisons with Rouge Traders
and Blondie, point out the fingerless
leather gloves and there you go... you're all over it now, too!
Taxi Doll are named after 'the bouncy
dolls in the back of taxi cabs'. Personally, I'm more familiar with that
bulldog off of the car insurance adverts off the telly. 'Oh yes'.
Anyway, here's their
website and their
MySpace but I'm not sure when 'Waiting' is out... the
sticker on my promo CD says September 3rd but that can't be right... can it?
Someone should probably start telling people and putting dates on websites
and things, or am I just being silly?

Last
Christmas, we didn't give you our hearts. Instead, we made you a lovely
digital Christmas Album to download called 'Never Mind The Baubles -
Here's Christmas!', do you remember? We also sent an extra special
email, containing a link to a bonus 'Stocking Filler Edition'
album, which went to everyone who said thank you or wished us a Merry
Christmas in return, but all the miserable and ungrateful lot reading this
wouldn't know anything about that... This year, we're being even more
generous and offering you thrice as much music to help soundtrack your
seasonal shenanigans. It's 'Never Mind The Baubles - Here's
Christmas! v2.0' - the deluxe five disc, 101-track, digitally
un-remastered, definitive, special limited edition, collectors box set!
