Hey!
I’ve not been keeping track of Popjustice!, so I hadn’t realised there was a new Girls Aloud single until I saw it on CD:UK yesterday. I’m not sure what I think of the song; I guess I’m just going to have to accept the fact that they’re never going to do anything else as good as ‘The Show’. Like the video for ‘The Show’, they’re at work (this time as car mechanics), but unfortunately unlike ‘The Show’, they’re not visibly bored by capitalism. This makes the video a bit lads-mag-photoshoot, all cars and boiler suits and cleavage. It maybe redeems itself by having them take off their boiler suits to reveal a variety of spangly dresses, an act which causes the garage to vanish, in a kind of glam assault on capitalism (possibly).
Meanwhile, PopJustice is also claiming that Fierce Girl’s forthcoming single is a “‘No Good Advice’ for boys in hoodies,” which I look forward to eagerly. Oh, and isn’t the new Coldplay single, ‘Talk’, terrible even by their standards?

Sorry, the comment form is closed at this time.
you actually spend time writing this shite? you are the most shameless tourist i have ever come across on the world of blogs. pretending you’re down with the kids and soiling us all with your pathetic “observations”
This says it all really:
“but unfortunately unlike ‘The Show’, they’re not visibly bored by capitalism”
if you were to indulge this little gem to anyone they’d laugh in your pathetic face and no doubt you’d convince yourself that the people that don’t listen to the music in a semi ironic ‘knowing’ are hopeless peasants
