Surprised by joy
Dizzee Rascal, displaying the kind of Nietzscheanism we demand, but rarely get, from our pop stars, seems to be in a good mood. It turns out, contrary to expectations, that being successful actually is preferable to being unsuccessful. His current song in particular is splendid, not least because it sounds like comedy NTK favourite mark vii.
I’m not sure about the new Girls Aloud track; it’s growing on me, but it’s no ‘The Show’. Still, their performance on Top of the Pops was good, repeating the same ‘doing something unglamorous while mouthing the lyrics in an uninterested way’ trick from their last video. It strikes me as pleasingly subversive, although I’m not really sure why.
I’ve finally remembered what ‘Love Machine’ reminds me of: of course ‘Money’ by Charlie Baltimore.
