Well Weapon
In my personal favourite issue so far we tear into Razorlight, Beyonce, Coldplay and Linkin Park. Fab stuff.
Razorlight - America
Somehow making their debut on this site over 200 articles in we have Razorlight and that song that defined 2006 (in so many negative ways), America.
Beyonce - Put a ring on it
Dave has an extensive look at Beyonce's recent hit which to all intents and purposes I thought was called Single Ladies. You learn something every yada yada...
Linkin Park - What I've Done
Chester Bennington could well be leaving us but first he pens this painstaking (and painful) farewell. Dave explains...
Coldplay - Fix You
What can I say? I really, really hate Coldplay and this abomination of a song - probably the most straightforward piece ever on here.
Love is only a feeling
I do love a good special and this weeks special is special with four articles about three absolute classics of the love-song genre; staples on Steve Wrights Sunday Love Songs, that's for true.
Sonny & Cher - I got you babe
Well it's the, er, season to be lovely and that so this description will not be mean. I have nothing further to add - Dave however does.
Lionel Richie - Hello
What would valentines day be without this absolute classic? All together now...
Lionel Richie - Hello [video]
Seeing as Lionel Richie = Love himself I figured I ought to do a double whammy today and look at the masterpiece that is the video for the previously analysed Hello.
Aretha Franklin - Natural Woman
Aretha Franklin is all natural babeh; and Dave tells us why.
James Bond Week
Upon realising this was 007 I was bloomin' tempted to call a halt to the presses and proceedings and have ourselves a little James Bond themed bash. But...
Lily Allen - The Fear
Dave has a look at the allegedly credible Keith Allens Daughter and her song, The Fear (not to be confused with Ian Brown and F.E.A.R).
Katy Perry - Hot and Cold
Ah yes, the song with a chorus that was just made for Question of Sport clipmixes - this is Dave's look at Katy Perry and her board of fare.
Chamillionaire - Ridin' Dirty
So a few weeks ago we had a look at the video for Ridin' Dirty. Well this week Tom has a look at the lyrics in a stonker as a piece.
VKTRS VI
And so on the night of Superbowl XLIII (43 to those in the know) we're here with another spanking(ly) new issue of Video Killed the Radio Star.
Guns and Roses - Sweet Child o' Mine
Continuing the theme of Guns n' Roses (well I know we've missed the Chinese democracy boat but then again I'd argue a couple of months is better than the wrong side of a decade) this week Tom has a look at that club-cheese-classic, Sweet Child o' Mine.
James Morrison ft. Nelly Furtado - Broken Strings
Dave has a look at the enlightening video for Broken Strings by James Morrison and Nelly Furtado (who, I read somewhere, counts The Smashing Pumpkins as an influence. Riiiight...)
The Killers - Human
"Are we human, or are we dancer" - Need I say more? Well, yes, as it would seem.
Lady GaGa - Just Dance
In which Dave has a look at that veritable number one "tune" Of Argos and Dancefloors by Lady "GaGa" (surely not a birthname that would usually be attributed to a lady of the, er, realm?)
