It's Friday. If we were Justin Hawkins out of joke, and hairline, worn thin 'rockers'
The Darkness we'd be out dancing tonight, having spent Monday cycling, Tuesday at Gymnastics, Bridge Club on Wednesday and Thursday practicing our Archery. Of course, we'd also have a worrying penchant for catsuits and the sort of face that you'd never tire of punching, so perhaps we should be grateful. To celebrate our luck in that regard we watched Top of the Pops, here's what we learnt:-
- Despite hawking herself round more TV shows than a Big Brother star desperate to hang on to the remaining seconds of their five minutes of fame, Geri only managed to get number 4 with her new single, Ride It, proving that it is possible to try too hard.
- Keane, despite being top ten popstars, albeit not with their current single, This is the Last Time, are staying true to their 'real' music roots, have refused to get a stylist in and are still quite happily rocking the "Student dressed up smart for a visit from their Gran" look.
- Green Day took time out from making half-arsed political statements and expecting a toffee as a result of this to perform new single Boulevard of Broken Dreams and show us exactly what Busted are going to look and sound like in five years time. Suddenly all those Charlie leaving/band splitting rumours are a lot more appealing.
- In order to maintain their bling level, Destiny's Child are clearly making savings in other areas, such as production costs, if their new, black and white, shaky camera and shot in a white studio for 5 dollars video for Soldier is anything to go by.
- Dance act Uniting Nations run a tight ship where rules are strictly enforced and if you forget to bring your stage costume you have to perform in your pants. Calamity must have struck them this week then, as all of the female dancers must have forgotten to bring their skirts, as they were all forced to appear on national television in their knickers.
- Razorlight were the subject of this weeks pointless feature. In it we learnt that they've appeared on some radio stations in the US. Well, whoopee.
- Girls Aloud are at number one for a second week. They've clearly been using their time to practice as this week, with the notable exception of Sarah, they managed to hit all the notes. Hooray!
