"It’d be kind of like the Metallica/Napster thing. It’s not even worth it."
Is it just me or is it not Blatantly Obvious that 2 hearts by Kylie Minogue sounds just like a rip-off of Strict Machine by Goldfrapp? I was wondering why Kylie's new single sounded so damned familiar.
Judge for yourself.
Strict Machine
2 hearts
Urgh, I feel guilty for liking 2 hearts since Goldfrapp is ♥
It annoys me when Popstars rip-off lesser-known Artistes and it's covered up so not many people know about it. I mean, at least give credit where credits due.
E.g. " The Yeah Yeah Yeahs do not scare easily. The New York art-punk rockers are gobbling some post-rehearsal sushi at Manhattan's Nobu 57, and they're visibly quaking. In a few days, they play their first hometown gig in more than a year. They're sitting on one of 2006's most hotly awaited albums, the sexy, dark, insanely great Show Your Bones. They're ready for anything.
Except Kelly Clarkson. She scares them.
"Dude, she so freaks me out," says Karen O, the New York doll who sings lead for the Yeahs. Karen O's a tough customer, the firecracker who conquered the world in ripped fishnets, smeared lipstick and black leather gloves, not to mention the Corona she uses to start beer-sloshing fights with the crowd. But she got the fear when she heard Clarkson's smash "Since U Been Gone," which features the guitar break from the Yeah Yeah Yeahs' "Maps" -- not a sample, just a precise replica. Says Karen O, "It was like getting bitten by a poisonous varmint." I try to argue that the Yeahs should be honored to share Clarkson's mall cred, but they're not sure. "Ah, well," Karen O says. "If it wasn't her, it just would've been Ashlee Simpson."
YYYs went to Beijing. No fair. Why didn't they make a stopover here. WHY. WHY.
Honestly, at this rate I'm never going to be able to use my "Marry Me, Nick Zinner." sign I made a few years ago. AT THIS RATE, HE'LL BE TOO OLD FOR IT TO BE PHYSICALLY POSSIBLE FOR US TO UM, MARRY. Yes, still my favourite band ever, my love withstands them signing on to a major label and KO's desire for world-wide admiration and worship.
The best part of MI's CNY concert was the lion dance hehe. Annabel and I provided dubbing for both the lions, I was Lion on the left, she was the other. At on point where both lions were um, interacting at close physical proximity she yelled "WHY ARE WE MATING!!!" and at that precise moment noise level in the hall coincidentally dipped. Hehehe.
She also got dragged on the floor by the lion. And Shima had a brief yelling match with it after Left Lion stole her sweater.
Shima: I HATE YOU!
Man Inside Left Lion: Why you hate me? ):
I felt bad for the lions.
Nope, still haven't studied today. 2 posts in a day 'Wah, why you talk so much.'
Urgh, I'm hungry again, shall go have my 9th meal of the day. I'm so gross.
Oh yeah, in the middle of typing this post, my brother barged into the room to brag that he had just run to the back of centerpoint, through the Istana and made me do 5 boy style push-ups
