...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...

Stop!
26.10.2008

We have been sent a link to the new Ladyhawke video. I guess that means someone wants us to stick it around about.... here;

 

'My Delirium' is the highlight of the Ladyhawke album and it sounds precisely like what a Stevie Nicks and Xenomania collaboration would sound like (probably). This video, on the other hand, looks precisely like it took ages to do as most of it is drawn. We like the pussycat makeover they've given Mount Rushmore at the 2:25 mark. Anyway, 'My Delirium' is released as a single in December. LadySpace.

Weak-kneed...
23.10.2008

Happy Halloween from everyone's favourite nausea-inducing techno goth merchants, Adult.!

 

This track, 'Inside', is taken from their new EP, 'Let's Feel Bad Together', available exclusively (and expensively!) from Beatport. Click here. Website.


Paint A Familiar Picture...
22.10.2008

The Smiths were a good band. Many people liked them. They are considered highly influential. All good reasons to flog all their old songs again! See here, a new collection which both Morrissey and Marr have been involved with. Also, here's the quite pleasant looking 7" box set, due out on 8th December, just in time for Santa Claus;

Did you see the sticker on the front? They're only giving us some badges and a poster as well! Great. But wait... I'm reminded of a lyric. How does it go again? Oh yes...

"Re-issue! Re-package! Re-package!
Re-evaluate the songs
Double-pack with a photograph
Extra track and a tacky badge..."

('
Paint A Vulgar Picture' by The Smiths, taken from the 'Strangeways, Here We Come' album)

Oh the irony. The Smiths is dead. Long live The Smiths. Or summit.

Are you watching me baby?
19.10.2008

The mighty Girls Aloud 'did' 'The X Factor' last night. The performed their new single 'The Promise' live... a bit ropey here and there but they still managed to sparkle...

 

The single is available right now to download from iTunes - click here! The CD single is out tomorrow, which has the really quite good B-side 'She' on it, plus you can still order a limited edition numbered 7" picture disc from their website over here. That comes backed with 'Girl Overboard (Tangled Up Tour Live From The O2)', which is lifted from the new live DVD, available here! And of course, the new album, 'Out Of Control', is out November 3rd (buy here). Woolworths are once again offering a bonus CD if you buy a copy from them, called 'Girls A Live', featuring 8 live tracks from across all their tours so far. Chuck in the 2009 calendar and their 'Dreams That Glitter' book and you're all pimped out, Girls Aloud style! The next single is already rumoured to be 'The Loving Kind', their collaboration with Pet Shop Boys. Hear a clip of that here. The best use of the word 'disinclined' ever? "BABE!"...

I went to see Mari Wilson last night....
03.10.2008

 

She doesn't look like that anymore but she still sings and dances about a bit. The reason she was up my way was because she's got a new album to sell and she sang some of the new songs last night. We heartily recommend 'Hits And Misses', 'The It Girl' and 'Forever Young', especially if you think you'll enjoy something that sounds a bit like a cross between Swing Out Sister and Saint Etienne. There are clips to be heard over here. Please go and see Mari and buy her album, 'Emotional Glamour', which is released on Monday 6th of October. Old pop stars need some love too, y'know...

I Kissed A Doll...
28.09.2008

...I sort've like it. I dunno, just one hit single under her belt and Katy Perry is chucking a doll on the shelves in time for Christmas. Some acts have to work for years before they get immortalised in plastic. That said, celebrity dolls are our 11th most favourite thing of all time so I suppose it's alright. It's already sold out on pre-orders though so you're fucked if you want one. P.S. There are some nice Katy Perry lip balms (though not actually Chapsticks) floating around but they weren't as good as Goldfrapp's 'Black Cherry' lip balm pots from a while back. P.P.S. My boyfriend thinks Katy looks like Sarah Barnes (Loui Batley) from 'Hollyoaks'...

The Promise: The Verdict
14.09.2008

At approx 20:25 this evening, a squillion Girls Aloud fans around the globe collectively squealed as their new single, 'The Promise', got it's first worldwide play on Radio 1. So, after enduring almost 90 minutes of Radio 1 Sunday evening programming (who is Sam Beeton?), was it all worth it? Let's have a look at our Last.fm activity...

 ...'nuff said. Listen to it yourself here! It's out on October 27th, BTW.

That pop star we like a bit, but not like really loads, just a bit, Darren Hayes has chucked his cover of Madonna's 'Dress You Up' on his MySpace! Click here! We quite like! Thank you Mr Darren Hayes... bonus points for the 'Virgin Tour Live' adlibs. Clap, clap.

V.V. Good
06.09.2008

This sort've looks like it's just boring and shit and then there's a little bit of animation in the middle that makes it a bit better...

 

VV Brown's (man, it's annoying how two 'V's look like a 'W' side by side) amazing single can be downloaded here. It's been around for a while but we don't understand if it's actually, properly been released yet. These things aren't so important these days it seems. Looking forward to more, though. VVSpace.

Up The Saturdays
29.08.2008


Much like 'Up!' Shania Twain and 'Something Deep Inside' Billie Piper, that headline provided some very brief smutty amusement. The video for The Saturdays second (and much better than the first) single, 'Up!', isn't quite finished yet. But this is the whole song accompanied by some behind the scenes footage of the filming...

 

Looks alright and the song is dead good, isn't it? They are continuing with The United Colors Of Benetton outfits, though, so they loose points there, frankly. The album is out in October apparently and they might be doing this year's Children In Need single, too...


Parallel Lines
28.08.2008


The new Ladytron video is good, especially if you like stripes and that;

'Runaway' has been remixed by everyone's favourite techno goths, Adult., and all 3 formats can be pre-ordered here for the unusual sum of £7. If you're skint, make do with this free download of the last single, 'Ghosts', which has been given the remix treatment by someone calling themselves Blestenation. LadySpace.

Rosie Lover
27.08.2008

This is Rosie & The Goldbug and this is their new single, 'Lover'. We really like it...

 

...we especially like the bit around the 2:43 mark and the 'playing the piano but standing up' moments. 'Lover' is released ahead of their self-titled debut album, due out on September 15th, which is full of magical cabaret showtunes, with lashings of drama and glamour and panache. Or "Kate Bush on crack", as some PR blurb screams. Lot's of bands say that, don't they? "Like so-and-so on crack"... But drugs are neither big nor clever and no one is the slightest bit impressed. But Rosie & The Goldbug don't disappoint, I promise. You can still buy their last EP, 'War Of The Roses (Because You Said So)', and if you trot quickly in this direction, you get a free mp3! It does feature Marcella Detroit, mind you, so if hate her as much as Siobhan Fahey does, I'd just leave it if I was you. Oh! They're only from bloody Cornwall! Well I never... RosieSpace.

You Made Your Bed Purchase?
24.08.2008

It's Red Blooded Women! You'll have already heard rumblings about this three-headed, electro-pop monster trio if you've visited Pop Justice or any self respecting music blog in the last year or so, but now, they have actually released something! Their debut single came out today, 'You Made Your Bed EP', on the ever-delicious Planet Clique Records. You can download the 6 track digital bundle over here right now and also, there's still some copies of the 2 track red vinyl 7", which comes fully signed and you'll also get a free mp3 upon ordering...

rbwltdlinkPC

So, let's hope this is the first in a long series of releases from Carly (AKA Burger Woman*), Liz (AKA Booze Woman*) and Candy (AKA Fag Woman*)  - Red Blooded Women! RedBloodedSpace. RedBloodedTube.

*If these nicknames take off in the way that those Spice Girls ones did, then they're, like, copyrighted to me, ok?

Back for good
18.08.2008

Hello!

I am back. My PC was knackered for a bit (Smoke! Flames! Etc.) and I've changed jobs and joined a gym and remembered I have some friends. As a result, my Pussy has been neglected for a few months. Sorry 'bout that. Mucho gratias to those who asked when my funeral was but as you can 'see', I'm very much on the right side of alive. So, let's put some words and pictures on my website and we can all get back to normal, eh? Super.

Love ya, mean it.
