The Once Mighty Fall Hard

Oh Little Boots how I used to love your brand of space age pop before you ditched all sense of restaint in the tawdry Hands. Now you won't return my calls and keep producing lacklustre JLS covers just to spite me. Maybe we could flee to Mexico, record a folk/acid-house album and start over again? It probably wouldn't be met with reviews as bad as Jet's Shine On.

Speaking of clumsy links, increased time flicking between MTV2 and NMEtv has caused me to accept the latest single from Australia's best musical graverobbers as a decent slice of old school rawk & roll. Not that Iggy Pop or AC/DC are dead yet, it's just the sight of Angus Young's withered torso does indicate some pact with the devil has been made.



Finally, it would be wrong to end this post of mild surpise and beloise disappointment without a passing mention to Weezer's recently leaked single (If You Are Wondering If I Want You To) I Want You To to be taken from their seventh studio album Raditude..yes you read that right....Raditude! Fittingly it comes as a mild surprise that after the tentative shift towards former glories in last years The Red Album, the post-Pinkerton Rivers Cuomo has returned to the beloise disappointment of normal.
