Paul McCartney & Heather Mills, ‘Wearing My Rolex’

In a unprecedented career move, Paul ‘Macca’ McCartney of the Beatles and Wings and ’solo’ fame has gone all grimey down the electro-house road, which is not long and winding but short and to the point….

All I want to do is tell you I love you
Thats when i start promising the world to
a brand new girl i dont even know yet
Next thing shes wearing my rolex

most energetic McCartney song since ‘Jet’? best songwriting since Hey Jude?!

Thumbs up, what the hell/

PS: this is a joke, the song is actually by Wiley… I almost got ya’all, eh :!

The Ting Tings, ‘That’s not my name’

# 1 (yes) in the UK this week.

Now, where did this come from? The Ting Tings, that seems a pretty silly name…
mmm
this guys toured with the NME, is it an indie band? Is ‘That’s not my name‘ this year’s ‘Standing on The Way Of Control‘ ?

let’s listen…

Ok, I’ve listen twice and not only my headache is not getting any better but I feel like jumping out of the window… eventually I don’t cause I live in a first floor and it’d be pretty stupid, but…

kids! this is My Sharona! and it was released a trillion years ago…

The world needs another My Sharona like it needs another Nagasaki.

Thumbs down.

Jackson 5, ‘I Want You Back’

Chart music nowadays is nowhere near as good as it once was. Am I right or am I right? Or what?

Recently I’ve been asked to DJ in a wedding (my sis, don’t go thinking that I am a high profile DJ…) and while trying to compile songs I remembered that I HAVE to play I want You Back by the Jackson 5. I went to wikipedia (yes I research the shit I write about) and read:

“I Want You Back” is a 1969 number-one single recorded by The Jackson 5 for the Motown label. It held the number-one position on the Billboard Hot 100 singles chart for one week, from January 24 to January 31, 1970, replacing “Raindrops Keep Fallin’ on My Head” by B.J. Thomas, and then replaced by “Venus” by The Shocking Blue.

So we got I Want You Back in all its awesomeness (that riff, that bassline) but the lucky bastards living in 1969 had already enjoyed the genuinely beautiful classic ‘Raindrops Keep Falling on My Head’ and were about to discover the absurdly brilliant ‘Venus’… I mean… it really is a different league than the latest crappy Madonna attempt to be modern and the Florida ft. T-Pain nightmare of Low…

So for once I’m including a 60’s single in the blog… magic times, Michel Jackson was black, imagine that!

Thumbs up. Yes
