Tonight Lily Allen is starting her Yoyo May residency. For an (almost) 21 year-old artist, she has been getting around somewhat! Freshly pictured for Vogue Magazine her music is sweet, fun and bringing together a whole host of influences. Lily is rumoured to be on Top of the Pops later this summer, so do come and see her close up while you still can before she goes Number 1. Especially since these are her first ever live appearances! Can't get any better now, can it....

Every Thursday, 6pm-2am, £5
NO TICKET PRE-SALES PLEASE COME DOWN EARLY

:(

I like that we've set this dichotomy up early.

(1) Lily Allen "LDN," (2) Dizzee Rascal "Fix Up, Look Sharp," (3) some woman who isn't the S.O.S. band or Deborah Cox or Shabba Ranks or Rebel Princess doing a fetching reggae version of "Just Be Good To Me," (4) Lily Allen doing another of her songs, (5) Ludacris "The Potion," (6) Some Wu Tang–related thing (ODB? Clinton Sparks?), (7) some dancehall guy, (8) another dancehall guy, (9) Montana Slim? "My Swiss Moonlight Lullaby"? (10) Creedence Clearwater Revival "Born on the Bayou," (11) Lee Dorsey? "Get Out My Life Woman," (12) Rod Stewart/Faces "Stay With Me," (13) Squeeze? "Up the Junction"? (14) a Lily Allen original, (15) some grimish thing, (16) Specials "Friday Night, Saturday Morning," (17) some funky dubby thing, (18) some sweet French Europop thing, (19) Janet Kay? "Silly Games," (20) another Lily Allen original, (21) some junglish dancehall thing.

Frank Kogan, this summer's biggest hit. (I've been spamming here daily.)

(And more people have heard of her than have heard of me. She's getting 30,000 plays a day on her Myspace page.)

I haven't listened to the mix-tape, but perhaps this would be the Beats International version?

If she used the Smith & Mighty Remix of the same I would instantly agree to carry her children.

now i find myself downloading the mixtape and wishing i had responded to the email to get a chance on the ultra limited 7".

pah.

xpost - mark - weird - i just grabbed it without any problems a few minutes ago ..

Cruel to revive this in February imo.

which list? why February? wth is going on? lol

Hmm, it took years for the Morrissey thread to get renamed, whereas this one was as swiftasyerlike.

uh

There has to be more to the story.

not really

Good for her?

I still laugh at the title every time this thread is revived

pls change thread title to 'Lily Allen - This summers biggest foot fetishist'.

She's got the feet.

I was recently surprised to learn that she is married to Stranger Things' David Harbour

“It’s hard out here” was actually about her corns

I was recently surprised to learn that she is married to Stranger Things' David Harbour

I learned this because of an AD video about their ugly townhouse

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zEXXe9Ef_R8

yuck

new album is a confessional post-mortem on her marriage. is pretty good? I haven't listened to anything she's done since LDN I don't think.

This new album is a good illustration of why it can be hugely damaging for ILX moderators to permanently alter the words and intents of community members.

(Not a criticism of the current two moderators, who deserve salaried roles for the amount of bullshit they regularly have to deal with; but a sincere position restated for the nth time in the face of a signal example.)

I can't believe notable ilm poster e-clex said she was racist

i have doubts that e-clex's myspace is going to take off

Still time to change it to “David Harbour: a few summers ago’s least fidelious husband?” I s’pose

The perpetual return of Lily Allen is quite disheartening.

Tennis/Madeline is a fucking incredible 5-or-so minutes.
Somehow as good as everyone is saying it is.

I spent the whole album alternating between gasping and grinning. so many great melodies. astonishing production, too.

good timing to get this out right before the final seasons of Stranger Things

Yeah, this album is quite something. I really didn't want to miss a single lyric on here when I listened to it for the first time.

The lyric writing is so concise and crafted that the repeat choruses often undermine the effect. She could have pinkpantheressed it, let each sketch hit, then move on to the next vignette. They’re so contained in their construction that the overall effect accreting, as another facet turns to the reader, doesn’t need the breather / pause for reflection

I love this. Lily Allen always does her own best backing vocals and the production/arrangements are terrific— this kind of widescreen fun-production is the best suit for such lyrical content

This album reminds me more than a little of those videos about like railway technology where the script is done as a singsongy AI pop song, except in this case it’s Lily Allen autofiction

20 years ago, I was not paying attention when she made her entrance into pop music, but I noticed when listening to her shit 10 year ago that she resembled R Kelly in her ability to shape the vernacular into lyric form, a practice which still isn't at all common. She certainly does just so on this record…

is there an animus towards her on the part of english people? please help us unpack this, english ilxors…

Lily tweeted a picture of her boyfriend's penis dressed up as a golliwog as part of an argument with a black person.

That's a fine bit of unpacking there.

it's not every day that I am condescended to by the likes of someone I admire as much as the creator of the Boaby Chronicles! Cheers!

Was that condescending? Sorry!

townhouse on the market for $8 mil:

8 mil and another one to undo that monstrosity

I assume it wasn’t David Harbour’s penis doing a racist bit?

XP Stranger Things indeed!

This album is very well executed.

Those steel drums low in the mix in the outro of pussy palace.

So that extremely disconcerting AD Open Door video was kind of a preview of this album. This is very sophisticated marketing.

Their townhouse looks to be one neighborhood away from my neighborhood. I should go down there and make them a lower offer.

Hundreds of trojans / you’re so fucking broken

I wonder what the village apartment is listed for

step-father was TV's beloved "Loadsamoney"

Wow, did not know that.

The discourse around this album on reddit is really stupid. Many people trying to legislate the morality without appreciating the human story at the heart of the album. A lot of comments like, “well she cheated on her first husband so I don’t feel bad for her,” as if the point is to take sides.

The point of internet fandom is totally to take sides tho

The monologue at the end of the title track…. Man

The discourse around this album on reddit is really stupid.

Did you tell them what the discourse is like on here?

I only lurk on reddit

discourse around any creative things on reddit is fucking stupid IME. want the worst takes on albums, films, books? look there.

I like reading Reddit from time to time. My ish with it was that the iOS app version kept sending me notifications for the most infuriating items, like it was beyond “click bait”, it seemed deliberately designed to ruin my day
