new lp '99cents' is this everything we wanted from electroclash ?

no, but what i've heard is kinda cool. it's very pop. anyone expecting a Miss Kittin & The Hacker type affair is going to be well disappointed.

oooh. you mentioned that lp. is it a good un saw it in the sales (their 1st lp) ? as for 99c .. it is indeed very Radio Friendly in parts .. i was quite shocked at that aspect.
but its huge fun. their version of word rappinghood grooves lots.

99c is Brilliant.

Wordy is one of my top 3 tracks this yr.

Yay!

chicks on speed != electroclash. ugh.

― disco stu (disco stu), Friday, 17 October 2003 10:40 (twenty-two years ago)

yeah, it's not electroclash at all, by the "strict" definition.

oh ok. (mental scratch pad cleared down of stereotype genre definition)
i can but apologise for my lack of knowledge on these matters.
still it is great electro-sleazy pop fun.

― Raymond Cummings (Raymond Cummings), Friday, 17 October 2003 11:04 (twenty-two years ago)

that's what speed does to you, man..

Sorry but what the living hell is this strict definition of elctroclash?

Either way, their a one trick pony and its not much a trick to start with. Go out and buy the recent Medicine album instead.

"They are just too damn ugly arn't they?"
i saw them maybe 2 years ago and fell in love with melissa. in person, she's beautiful, at least she was then.

― Felcher (Felcher), Friday, 17 October 2003 17:49 (twenty-two years ago)

aside from the attraction, they are seriously one of my favorite bands ever.

― Felcher (Felcher), Friday, 17 October 2003 17:54 (twenty-two years ago)

Satan, grant me please one thread where talk of a female artist doesn't automatically devolve to how they look. Just one, and then you can have my soul.

So which member of COS has the best rack?

I only said that to be horrible.

― Disco Nihilist (mjt), Friday, 17 October 2003 23:51 (twenty-two years ago)

What a hypocrite I am. I just remembered I said on another thread that Peaches looked like Lou Reid with her perm.

Call it the "pubic hairdo."

it ain't just the looks in the peaches/lou reed parallel

seven months pass...

99 cents is fantastic! I just bought it yesterday but it would def. have been my fave album of 2003.
Nothing remotely electroclash about it. I hear a lot of smooth futuristic RnB sounds though.

― Baaderoni (Fabfunk), Tuesday, 18 May 2004 06:21 (twenty-two years ago)

It's still brilliant!

I must get the original, rather than the copy of a promo I have.

Easily one of the best 5 albums of last year.

― mei (mei), Tuesday, 18 May 2004 07:03 (twenty-two years ago)

'Shooting from the Hip' is so great! OMGWTFLOL

― Baaderoni (Fabfunk), Tuesday, 18 May 2004 16:56 (twenty-two years ago)

i saw them open for le tigre a few years ago; they were so much better than le tigre it wasn't even funny.
