My Lover’s Got Pneumonia
Of course he doesn’t have pneumonia, that would just be silly. What does Italian #2 hit-maker Gala‘s lover REALLY have apart from a shortage of cash?

SUGABABES – “Freak Like Me”
10 Jul 2017 #924, 4th May 2002 At The Disco A scene from Phonogram III: The Immaterial Girl, by Gillen, McKelvie and Wilson, published in 2015. It’s the early 00s, at a disco somewhere in the south of England. A group of people who love music so much it’s become their life and the tools of their craft […]How Old Is Superman?
20 Aug 2004 How Old Is Superman? One of the seemingly undefined aspect of the Superman mythos is that of his ageing. Those who fall on the side of his omnipotence in everything (the superhearing, superbreath, superhair bunch) probably think as a preternatural godhead he will live forever. Look, he has been banging around in the comics for […]Andrew WK: I Get Wet: Pitchfork Review
9 Jul 2002 Andrew WK: I Get Wet: Pitchfork Review: Remarkable write-up of the Andrew WK album from Ryan Schrieber, Pitchforkmedia’s editor-in-chief. Remarkable because it gets Andrew WK’s music so descriptively right – “Nothing could penetrate a sound that dense. I was overcome. I tried to remember the last time anyone dared to push rock so poppily over […]Gnome Man’s Land
11 Jan 2016 I wrote a thing for here about David Bowie and how I felt about him and what he meant to me, but then Pitchfork kindly decided they wanted to run it, so it’s below.

4 Jul 2018 An intriguing group for this third Pop World Cup match, with two of the sleeping giants of pop football – Sweden and South Korea – lined up against the always capable Germany and dark horses Mexico.

2 Jan 2001 On Skykicking last week, Tim touched, popwise, on the continuing cultural battle over what the eighties were or are or mean or meant. The story of mainstream rock and politics in the 1990s was among other things the story of a similar battle, that time over the sixties. On the one hand you had the […]Friday Poll Special – The Great Britpop Sorting Hat!
28 Jun 2013 We are now firmly into the BRITPOP YEARS on Popular, oh yes, so it’s time to consider its musical legacy in the only language we truly understand, viz. a ticky-box poll. We have selected 32 bands who someone, somewhere, might possibly have once described as Britpop. Tick all the ones you like and by science […]Download This! 2002
1 Jan 2003 101. THE CHEMICAL BROTHERS – ‘My Elastic Eye’: ‘It sounds exactly like an elastic eye!’ said Fred S. I scoffed, but you know what? – it does! Though maybe more a clockwork one – but the wobbly fuzz-bass still sounds like it’s looking, even probing the track for something. Every music-box noise here is luxurious […]

Of course, not satisfied with his lot, Gala’s lover wants more and more, plus freedom and love to boot! MOON ON A STICK, STEW.
MIND AND SENSES PUREEFIED.
A Balkans dish of sheep brains and nerves, transported over the ages by Albanian migrants to Puglia and the more outlandish parts of Umbria.
As any fule kno.
(Oh I how I wish this song was no 1 instead of Puff D)
He’s got his companies. Which evidently suffer from cashflow problems.
Strong Beliefs. He sounds like a right dick. “Can I borrow a tenner to go down the pub, Gala?” “Why don’t you get a job!” “It’s against my strong beliefs”
STINKY CHEESE.
