Russian Music News

I meant to write about the music earlier, but I always seem to forget. As you can probably imagine there is a lot of Eurovision style pop, yeah their music certainly is of the gay favouring variety. Also, you'll be glad to hear that Mel C's career is alive and well here, her music can be heard echoing though the streets literally bouncing off the snow with passion and style that only she can pull off. So fret not you Mel C-ers out there, she is not dead, no her music lives on, long live Mel C. And the genre of rap has not escaped these Russian musical meisters for they have created Russian rap which I think the sound of which they have stolen from Goldie Lookin Chain. Without the Welsh accent mind. It's like being stuck in a Eurovision Song Contest nightmare on loop, but it's kind of good to hear something a bit different (Said with as much enthusiasm as possible, trying to convinve myself).
And, I guess if you want to escape the Arctic Monkey hype machine then this is the place to be! But they don't play Radiohead on the MTV. CDs are only 150 Roubles which is cheap it's about 3 pounds so if any of you want that long-forgotten Mel C album for someone special this Valentine's Day, just let me know and I'll post one over to you straight away.

No, I haven't heard that but i thought it was weird that there are no writing credits on the album sleeve, and i did hear a debate about it on the radio, so maybe it's true. the lyrics definitely have an air of CUSM about them...
"moving up on to second base, behind nicholas vanwhatshisface, at 6 foot 6 and a hundred tones, the undisputed king of the slums...."
I could go on but i think i am making myself sound like a t**t!
I will do some digging re the ID of the AM lyricist and get back to you...
And no, no luck with tickets. Fingers crossed for Leeds Fest appearance.

It seems the rumour re CUSM is nothing more than that, and is Popbitch's idea of a joke. There is no evidence to support the claim anywhere else. Having said that, there is no evidence to support the idea that Alex Turner is the AM lyricist either, so who knows. Perhaps it is just one of lifes little myseteries, along with carpet monsters and mushrooms?
