Barbie Grease
Some guests from July 26 Releases
VELVET SOHO – Jesus Stole My Girlfriend
We're going to send shock waves throughout the music industry Here: Grunge was complete nonsense. There. I said it! Sure, Nirvana did a few good songs (by plundering the Pixies back catalog), but it was nothing special.
This is what this is. Oily grunge. Like the Smashing Pumpkins were Australian, were young again and had the opportunity to grow some hair, had a bit more and started screaming about Ugly Kid Joe Records! Sounds horrible right? The first reaction was, as you can imagine, one of fun – laughing at the stupid looking for band … but then the chorus kicked and at the end you decide to grow your hair and never use shampoo. Good stuff, with added fat!
Plan B – Prayin '
Bananas are still in shock about how everything has gone right for Plan B in 2010! It seems like yesterday when we were listening to his debut with us and pollution fears sweary and pointed to the acoustic hip-hop sound that was like GBH both his guitar and our poor eardrums.
The third single is full of witnesses soul preacher fashion – as a weird Aretha Franklin, delivering a sharp two-edged song that works perfectly as both exhilarating gospel-driven Northern Soul anthem and gloomy – but still with added bite. The song goes to prison, so will many of our readers can associate themselves with the texts. You bunch of thieving yobbos!
Marina & The Diamonds – Oh No!
Oh no! The doll Minx returns to Electric Banana chasing with a terrible reminder – as some of our eagle-eyed readers would have noticed that when she first broke on the scene we were calling her "Mary" for the first few months. FAIL! However, with our professional reputation now in tatters, Marina back with a decent single and her name spelled correctly.
The track is based on the same willful opposition to the mainstream pop scene (which reminds us bizzarely Aqua Barbie Girl) that marks so much of the material's Marina, with an added hip / hop corner – that's a bit like Katie Perry, just not quite as good.
Katie Melua – a happy place
Young Katie Melua here is very visually exciting. But in the past, she ruined it by making the kind of music that your mother is more likely to listen to, that is boring. However, this is something better than we expected – in a way Kate Bush/1980s-sque type.
A nice place The latest single is a further proof of its new direction less boring â € "an alt-pop offering that the singer expressing her horror at the pressure of the 21st century the finds striking strings, synths and percussion military style – she certainly is not getting Melua (mellow) with age! It's almost enough for us to forgive her for write this sodding with Guy Chambers. The git.
AMY MACDONALD – The Pretty Face
Amy Macdonald's new single is about today's "celebrities" who become famous, especially just because of their appearance (Paris Hilton – the famous face of the cannabis trade mark) is a good example.
This sounds like a very soft Radio 2 pop version of The Libertine Ines' Time for Heroes, but obviously sung by a Scottish girl. Macdonald has actually got a pretty face, but This issue unfortunately is not going to get her on the cover of all magazines. Awwww. Why? Amy's main source of inspiration to Travis, so you know it is highly unlikely is on the soundtrack to a riot. Plus, you do not really want to have ugly people in magazines?
Tom Jones – Did Trouble Me / Strange Things
Whats New Pussycat? Well, fool old Tom Jones is still in his ambition to appear in the title role in a remake of "Santa Claus: The Movie '. Need seen him? The Welshman is a Silver Fox right now! We admire that. Banana stands behind its refusal to simply use it for Men Products. Bravo.
Has Trouble Me is a contemplative strum, Jones stripped back vocal on a number of wonderful banjo licks that sound like Mumford & Sons have attracted the attention of Mr. Jones. We only a half-praise Tom Jones sodding song? Yep. Strange things is a decent souly Dylan-like services. We still flatly refuse to our knickers at him … he can only very grateful for throwing!
SWEDISH House Mafia feat PHARRELL WILLIAMS
- A
This is already one of the biggest club tunes of the year – obviously – but we have no idea if this is true. Swedish House Mafia (what type of name is that?) Finally got around to releasing the danceable floor-filler One (Your Name), with vocals by the Neptunes / NERD (and not a female tennis player) Pharrell Williams.
The track is very heavy on the Ibiza-style elements that have most Electric Banana readers stacking for the exits … but fortunately there is little to stop us from turning it off before the song ends.
