It's good but it's not right...
Hello and welcome once again then to video killed the radio star, as we hit our fifth anniversary (well, weekiversary but that's just semantics really) it's business as usual with a number of, er, ace pieces.
U2 - Get on your Boots
"How to dismantle an atomic bomb" was, in all honesty, an absolutely massive disappointment and Vertigo now sounds like something from 1972. This, somehow, is worse...
Pink - So What
Somehow Pink has outlasted her inevitable status as a One Hit Wonder; to quote Murray from FOTC "their first single got to number 1, their second to number 13, their third to number 37 - their a hit making machine!"
Guns and Roses - Paradise City
One of the most excessive rock bands of all time takes a slice of humble pie, as Tom discovers.
H Two O ft. Platinum - Whats it gonna be [video]
This video takes a socio-economic look at the hardships of going to real schools. Dave considers this.
History in the making
In lieu of his inaugaration this week, we have a special contribution (ish) from BARACK OBAMA who writes (ish) this weeks foreword.
Coldplay - Violet Hill
Chris Martin is apparently suicidal due to the Credit Crunch and the power of the money men. Oh no. Oh noooo...
Gabriella Cilmi - Nothings sweet about me
Amy Wine....oh I mean Gabriella Cilmi is allegedly a talent. Dave picks that sentiment apart.
Britney Spears - Circus
Britney Spears wants to be a Fascist Dictator. FACT. Dave explains.
Duffy - Mercy
Duffy is under the spell of a malicious soul - or is she?
Team Building Exercise '99
It's Week Three in the Celebrity V Brother House. Tom has just got out of bed at around half past one in the afternoon to make soup, though he has designs to get back into bed. Dave meanwhile is still asleep...
Coolio - Gangstas Paradise
It seems appropriate that with him being in the news and on the airwaves at the moment (Celebrity Big Brother - oh how the mighty have fallen. He probably didn't even know who Ulrikakaka was) to do this epic hip-hop crossover number. As I walk through the valley of the shadow of, er, coolio...
Alda - Girl's Night Out
You know when you're walking through town and that pink limo comes through accompanied by screams...
R Kelly - Ignition Remix
From the creator of Trapped in the Closet (and Trapped in the Closet 2!) we give you Ignition Remix by R Kelly. And he's having a party!
Chamillionaire - Ridin' Dirty
Tom has a look at this, urm, banging tune and more specifically it's video. Featuring a really, really big policeman.
happy enforced annual calendar change everyone
Yes it's that time of year - everything is new, fresh and joyful and YAY. Give it a week and the reality of the recession will hit, everyone will be miserable and the world will be normal again. Moving on...
Pussycat Dolls - When I Grow Up
Dave has a cutting look at the Pussycat Dolls and their smash hit "When I grow up". Well I think it was. I vaguely recognise the lyrics...
The Guru Josh Project - Infinity
Yes ladies and gentlemen, it's THAT saxophone synthy MEGAsong. And, um, massive hit. Tom takes it in a new direction...
The Guru Josh Project - Infinity [video]
Tom takes us to infinity and beyond (what?) with this look at the Guru Josh project and his/their lovely, lovely piece.
Kings of Leon - Sex on Fire
Well we are just about the hits this week aren't we. Dave has a look at those nasty Kings of Leon boys and their rough-and-tumble song, Sex on Fire.
