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!

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.

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.

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
