no kate nash thread yet?

It's Lily Allen's left tit.

The NME tears Kate Nash's single apart in the newest issue, but I haven't heard a note of her yet. I'll take Lily Allen bandwaggoners over, I don't know, Bloc Party ones, I think.

who are the bloc party bandwaggoners tiki? no sarkiness i just wonder who you mean if anyone specific.

However I wouldn't compare her to Lily Allen at all on the basis of that single (it's all I've heard of her). Then again, she is one of those stage-schooly types; her artiness is contrived.

And I don't want to be mean because she will probably google herself someday and actually read this but I think that unfortunately she is just not a very attractive girl.

I try not to be sexist, but that song MIGHT actually work if she were HOT. (Actually, it is just bad, nm).

Otherwise, it is without flair (which Lily Allen does indeed possess, whatever you might think of her) and devoid of everything in precisely the manner you describe. Perhaps the 2600 spins a day she gets in myspace are all just people playing it again and again trying to figure out why the stuff is getting so many spins.

Or maybe it is just third-tier "anti-folk" (whatever that is) and the only reason anyone cares about it is because she knows Lily, and trades off of that only too readily I might add.

I just meant theoretical ones.

Lex word-for-word OTM, alongside Just Jack this makes me seriously question certain peoples' right to music. ATTENTION ALL U 'STREET LAUREATES', UR FAUX-NAIF 'POETRY' IS THE MOST BONE-HEADED, UNLISTENABLE SHITE I HAVE EVER HEARD, AND UR BACKING TRAX AREN'T EXACTLY CORDON BLEU EITHER

the 'Caroline's A Victim' track really is bad yes.

why, what have you got against dawn french?

The whole "awkwardly rapping my ever-so-perceptive observations of life as I know it on the street, in the club, and then back out on the street after I've been kicked out of the club BUT I'M REALLY SENSITIVE becoz I fancy him/her lol ;-) :):) haha but i's a serious artist 4 realz" schtick was copyrighted by The Streets a few years ago, wasn't it? And at least he did it with a modicum of natural charm (although I personally dislike his music). These people, though, are charlatans of the very, very highest order.

they're certainly no Mansun!

scorching ad hominem there, and now they're a step closer to reaching this year's FA Trophy final!

RIP Chad, heaven needed whatever it was that you contributed to Mansun

aw c'mon dom, you agree with me about kate nash! do you not remember your lily allen review? can there not be common ground?

chad had the best hair, SO THERE YOU GO

"I'm-a dirty dawg"

there's some piano chick w/some goofy keyboards and shit in about every city that's a good as this.

ok i've read a few weekend on sunday pieces on this broad, but none of them even tried to describe her music. perhaps i will visit "my space" and figure it out for myself, but nothing her boosters or she herself have said recommend her. i'm guessing that her backstory will be revealed sandie thom-style pretty soon. she's a young'un so it's not her fault entirely, but the journalists who promote her are running-dogs.

i'll be interested if she does some more folky stuff. i seem to remember she sings well.

she's being produced by paul epworth. probably not going to be too folky?

speaking of folky ..... k.nash left, v. bunyan right

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v509/jobhosle/l_76.jpghttp://img.photobucket.com/albums/v509/jobhosle/vashti3.jpg

album is pretty straight-up electro in parts.

my mum loves her.

riveting!

shut your FACE. And what have you done today?

She is a terrible artist. That she was strumming a guitar 6 months ago and is now riding beats as an "Electro" artist proves that she is just a manufactured entity.

I am offended by the LeTigre comparison, they roll legit.

I like "Foundations" like everyone else does...

But the kids are singing it ALL THE TIME!! and drivin me NUTS!

Oh and that Vashti pic above! blimey!

'foundations' would be an okay instrumental

I like "Foundations" like everyone else does...

waht

If only nobody at ATC Management read the Guardian, none of this would have happened.

And so I get (the kids/wife) the album.

ah.

Have you considered divorce?

Put it this way.

They think it's bobbins.

Suicide then?

I think it's bobbins also.

Hey, we don't *have* to play it any more!

If only there was some way one could hear an album before buying it.

This is fucking mad popular.

This is fucking mad popular shit.

there's a new one called 'ava' as well. when will this infection end?

and 'adele'.

my sister met jack penates (sp.). i worry about her.

penate (with a wispy thing above the 'n') if my memory serves correctly. we had to promote this crap on our radio station. although in future i'll be strictly off-message as far as this sort of music is concerned.

Okay I am now mad because I bought this because I really liked "Foundations" and I haven't heard the whole album yet and this thread has made me afraid to.

saw this on telly this morning bittuh fittuh rubbish

I mean sounds like a bad catherine tate impression

Okay I still like "Foundations" a lot, even though I can see how the quaver in her voice could eventually make me want to kill.

Halfway through, she is an order of magnitude less tiresome than Lily Allen.

did you pick up the hard-fi record too?

No, should I?

PS I have found some of the tedious bits of this album.

sorry depends what you're looking for I guess!

i keep hearing this and it gets more and more grating.

'Mouthwash' is astonishing

-ly rubbish?

yes. the "This-Is-My-Bod-ee' bit especially. she completely ruins the reasonably pleasant music by singing over it.

Possibly the worst thing in the history of humanity

makes me nostalgic for lily allen.

that bad.

why does she seem to imagine she's attractive? cuz some pissed fella pinched her arse? maybe her mum needs to sit her down for a "some men will shag anything" chat.

Yeah, I usually love fat girls but even I wouldn't smash this.

nothing against ugly people in music, it's just that at least thom yorke doesn't go around thinking he's some sort of catch for the ladeez.

I don't care how she looks, it's how she sounds that bothers me

Esp. as she's neither fat or ugly

"This is my BRAH-A-A-A-A-AYYYYYNNNN"
I mean, fucks sake.

Esp. as she's neither fat or ugly

I wish she was, so that she would remain in obscurity forever.

more like PHAT mah nigga

Altho at the same time I wish there were more fat, ugly women in pop (same ratio as the men). Whew good save. xp

I wish there were more fat, ugly women in pop

GEE I CAN'T THINK OF AN OBVIOUS ZING HERE SOMEBODY HELP ME

what's all this stuff about Kate Nash being ugly? Kate Nash is <b>hot!!</b> And her songs are great. Ok, I dont like Play, but I like eveything else she's made. And comparing her to Lily Allen is just not right..

Julie.
roastrau

when i first heard her i thought: 'ooh eliza doolttle'. such a charming way with dropping various constants in her singing really endeared her to me.

then i heard her being interviewed and she spoke perfectly enunciated queens english.

funny that.

More like Kate Shite amirite?

the lex joined a facebook group with a misogynistic name devoted to her.

devoted to hating on her, i mean.

jack penate's mum made "mixtapes". dick.

Amy McDonald: "I'm really into indie rock now"

Oh for the days of changable usernames

In today's Metro Kate Nash expresses her surprise at selling well in Belgium: "My songs are really lyrical, so I didn't know if that would come across but Europeans are really good at speaking English. They get it."

she looked good on Jonno Ross. had to mute telly obv.

Lex/Dom/LJ/NRQ otm, hi fives all round

Particularly about Kevin Nash, and maybe a little bit about Chad

Would pay to see Kevin Nash walk in to a Kate Nash gig, do an impression of some random 1970s wrestlers, hit her with a really awkward Jackhammer, then do a few comedy skits with Sonjay Dutt and Jay Lethal.

Sounds like you're trying to build Nash bridges there

I predict a Nash-ing of teeth

i heard that mark ronson/lily allen cover of the kaiser chiefs.

I hear the treatment of post-traumatic stress has come on leaps and bounds in recent years

Standing in the Way of Control would've been much better with a "IS TAHM! IS VADAH TAHM!" sample at the start

If you still had a podcast that could have been your intro.

'Kate Nash has revealed that she is currently writing a series of short stories, and plans to release a book in the future...Nash explained that she is working on a story for children based around a seven-foot transvestite named Roy, and that author Roald Dahl is an influence on her work. "I'd like to release a collection of short stories," she explained. "I'm writing one a bout a 12 year-old boy called George, who meets a seven-foot cross-dresser called Roy. It's a concept about imagination and being whatever your dream is. There's a lot of things I want to achieve creatively," Nash went on to say. "I just like chucking things out and thinking, 'Whatever'"' -

she should post here.

author Roald Dahl is an influence on her work

Kate Nash hates Jews?

^the inference that had to be made

Josie Lawrence!

That's who she reminds me of!

^^^Not on drugs.

This album contains some of the most porrly written lyrics I've ever heard

I have tried, but alas I don't see any merit in her music at all.

-- Saxby D. Elder (Saxby D. Elder), Wednesday, 31 January 2007 17:47 (11 months ago)

OTM (smart guy, that one...)

revolutionary opinion

nobody in here ever gets my sarcasm.

lol I'm playing this again for the first time since I last posted to this thread and I still like "Foundations" a lot

kind of cringing remembering the dickhead song that will soon be bludgeoning my ears, though

on balance, she's kind of like a British, mopey, piano-based version of Poe

new song. not what you might expect:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gH5X1yvv8Eo

haha waht

someone bought the Santigold and Bat For Lashes album

Chasing the NME audience in 2010: smart business move or LAY OFF THE FUCKING DRUGS?

it is a bazillion times better than the dickhead song

I'm not familiar with the dickhead song but that new one sounds exactly like a lazy album track from a c. 1987 Brit Indie group.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=suaveqvlWP8

FEEL THE SUCK

TBF I don't like her voice or her lyrics so this is a bit of a no-win

then this new one, with one line of lyrics and very little of her voice, should come across as her best effort to date

It did! But she was starting from a v. low point on the graph.

I'm intrigued when artists try to completely change up their audience in these death of the industry times tho.

then this new one, with one line of lyrics and very little of her voice, should come across as her best effort to date

^^^ remoinds me of this Lou Reed quote after the commercial success of "Sally Can't Dance" - "This is fantastic — the worse I am the more it sells. If I wasn't on the record at all next time around, it would probably go number one."

lol that is so much better than last time round, a pity it's not actually any good - i definitely would like to encourage kate nash to continue down this newfound path of "not bothering to write songs" though

wow this is horrible.

since you guys are all havin' a bad day cuz you listened to kate nash your old pal m@tt h3lges0n is gonna show you something cool:

http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2303/2299709802_418b2bd9e9.jpg

hahaha

lex is pretty OTM though, I'd forgotten how precious and needy her album was and it seems she's gotten rid of that impulse by forgoing the actual songwriting process

haha that new song is amazingly bad

haha I had pac's "temptations" playing when I saw that. made it even more lolsome.

kate smash

so looks like she was wrong footing us with that noisy track. that's a hidden track on th album supposedly.

THIS however is more like it:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OqV-embx_tA

Not a Kate Nash fan at all, but I'll just leave this here and YOU guys can decide if it's a joke or not...

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JIB3YCGihp0

I really wasn't expecting that

also: "Written and recorded in less than 24 hours"

She sounds like she's giving birth while trying to channel the 'spirit' of Courtney Love.

the beginning of this is great

actually when she isn't screaming I really like this, and her screams only drag it down to "not gonna seek this out"

and furthermore

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OLZLZHi8HLA

her new EP is out

it appears, after 1.5 songs, to be a massive bag of shit

Is it the same kind of stuff as the 'Underestimate The Girl' track, or is it more in line with her earlier stuff?

it's definitely in the new vein, only less imaginitive

she's rather good on GLOW. Maybe that's what she should have been doing all along.

weirdly, she is actually doing a nostalgia tour re her debut soon.

https://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/episode/p07ctstz/kate-nash-underestimate-the-girl

Underestimate the Girl is an intimate portrait of British singer-songwriter Kate Nash and follows her journey over several years in her pursuit to remain a creatively and financially independent artist. After being dropped by a major label, Kate learns (the hard way) how to navigate the music industry as a self-sufficient businesswoman and creative.

I went back to Made of Bricks today after discovering her Christmas song and really, really liking it and... I like it now? Including "Dickhead"? what happened, I am confused
