I walk away with my dignity. You can't take that away from me.

Local news.

I love music.
Wanna know why?
'Cos it has this kind of effect....

I listened to the new Jamelia album tonight. All the way I was thinking "Oh dear" and then all of a sudden the album was finished. That terrible Stranglers sample....that awful Depeche Mode sample. I put it on repeat and gave it a few more listens. Now, I find every track addictive and think the album is a great result. The production is spot on, the mixes are great and her voice is as good as ever. At the moment, Jamelia is the UK equivalent of Beyonce in my opinion.
It's a great album, which I highly recommend.

I think I'm gonna get stoned.
No updates from until Saturday now 'cos I'm gonna be with The Girl. Le sigh.
Unless of course, I get a chance to post from hers without her knowing.
Muwahahahaha.

As a massive DM fan, I'm kinda looking forward to hearing that Jamelia tune with the Personal Jesus sample.

As someone who likes to get stoned, can you pass it this way.

And as someone who has no problem stealing people's ideas, I think I'll do a feature on my local paper tomorrow.
I can assure you it'll be much less newsworthy.

Thank god I can comment. Haven't been able to do that on your blog for ages. Jamelia? Never was drawn to her but on your recommendation will have a little listen. Hope you have fun with your honey

i don't want girlies touching depeche mode.
but you'll be having fun this weekend so a little Jamelia is okay i guess.

Ally said...

Now if I triangulate all those different incidents, I should be able to plot your exact whereabouts on the map ...

flash,
Stealing ideas? Oh the nerve of it!
You obviously thought about what you were writing, whereas I kinda skimmed through and was pretty stoned.

rachel,
Am I having commenting problems? Sorry, I didn't realise. I'm not being barred by a Webmarshall type thing am I? That's happened before. Apparently I swear too much.
Give Jamelia a chance. My motto is always, always give something at least one listen.

chloe,
Hated it at first, really like it now. I've heard much worse examples of sampling The Mode.

ally,
Don't bother, I am already wearing my 'anti stalker cloaking device'. And of course, all the names and places were changed to protect the innocent!
