    There's nothing to get. They looked for an iconic singing style from the 80s (the speaky robotic scansion of the Kraftwerk era) and beat it to death until it's no more.

      Well, if that chap who was on buzzcocks the other night is to be believed, she saw the 80's the first time (She claims she's 23, but looks late 30s).

      Perhaps she's been waiting for it to become fashionable before releasing anything?

      That aside, I quite like the catchy-ness. It seems I've never been able to put a catchy tune down as I was also a fan of Joe Dolce, when I was 6 .

        I wasn't too sure at first but when I saw them live, I just loved them... might have been the few pints of wife beater I got down me beforehand though....

          They were pretty good live.

          Anyway, how many bands are truly original? Very fcking few, still doesn't make them bad.

            Look up the Dizzy Rascal version of That's not my name from the Radio 1 Live Lounge - quite funny.

            They call me black,
            they call me rudeboy,
            they call me Oi!,
            they call me mate.

              But they don't need to be so patently derivative. Stone Roses were derivative, but they were also original.

                Gotta admit, they wouldn't normally be my bag - but live they we're one of the better acts I saw at Glastonbury, only went cause someone else was into them and I'm glad I did.

                Sometimes some bands surprise you. I remember getting dragged to see James, a band I hated but one of those bands who're transformed when live and somehow couldn't translate it into the studio.

                  Why can't people just admit that they fancy the singer.

                    gotta agree there. i didn't know james much and was expecting even less but saw them live in a big field some 10 or more years ago and they were apsoflippinglutely amazing.

                      Hadn't immediately occurred to me but yeah, of course.

                      What's wrong with that?
