It's Friday! And despite our fears we've managed to make it through 7 days without anyone of note splitting up. Of course, given that last week saw the departure from the music scene of
V and
Pop! some might say that we've managed to make it through a full fortnight without anyone of note splitting up, but these people are wrong. Anyway, here's what we learnt from this week's
Top of the Pops:-
- Kaiser Chiefs were in the Top of the Pops studio in London telling the watching nation that they can't believe it, they've never been this far away from home. They come from Leeds, so this is probably true.
- Phantom Planet, who do California, which is the rubbish theme tune to the rubbish TV show, The OC, will be supporting Maroon 5. Could this be the dullest bill since Jamiroquai was supported by Simon the Sheep Statistician?
- Their singer blokey has the worst bumfluff moustache seen outside the world of 13 year old boys.
- And he needs a haircut.
- Akon is at number 5 with Locked On. We don't believe that we've ever heard this song before, but given that we've already forgotten what it sounds like, this may not actually be the case.
- Moby's back with Lift Me Up. As this isn't a cover of the Geri Halliwell track of the same name it gains some bonus points, but promptly loses them again as it is, quite frankly, a bit shit.
- The Game has been chucked out of G-Unit which, as we understand it, is pretty much on the same level as being chucked out of the Cub Scouts.
- Shape Shifters are back with an attempt to convince us that they're not just a one trick pony. They failed.
- Despite the fact that we've already seen it, Girls Aloud on bikes doing Wake Me Up is still fucking ace.
- Nelly is at number one with Over and Over This song features Tim McGraw who is a country singer style person. People! What's wrong with you! Think before you purchase your CD's!
