Monday 15th May in England (land of hope and glory) spawned 2 things that lay claim to be the next generation of Spice...
First up, Geri 'Pregnant longer than Katie Holmes' Halliwell finally opened her legs a la Bag it Up at the Brits 2000 and popped out a little girl. Cue she now has her own baby spice jokes.... Despite being at odds with overwhelming public opinion, I have always liked the Spice formerly known as Ginger and can only hope she learns from the multitude of new mom mistakes made by Britney Spears Alexander Federline. Or Lynette Scarvo.
MP3: I Give Up On Love
Secondly, i just don't know where to begin telling you how bad the album by Mrs Robinson - the latest girl band to claim to be the new Spice Girls is... yes, i admit i bought the album on a total whim as it was attractively priced, despite the fact that they look like blokes from that dodgy channel 4 show on the cover. The production values are poor, none of the songs are particularly inventive or catchy and it just pales in comparison to even the worst Girls Aloud songs (See The Day, I'm talking about you!) Typically, the sweetest track on the cd is also the last one - Faded Heart sounds kinda like Expose's Your Baby Never Looked Good in Blue which i loved. But times moved on since then, and whoever was responsible for this shambles clearly hasn't. Download at your own peril. Shocking!
MP3: Faded Heart
Zapping has got it wrong on this one me thinks..
Taste is taste - another good blogger rated "We Could Be Heroes" by BWO ABOVE "Minimal" by PSB. Hellowwww?
Alas, i dont think the band gonna go very far but it wont stop me wearing the excellent pink promo t-shirts they are releasing soon.
