The Hotlist What's hot right now!




THE HOT AND NOT LIST as of July 18th 1999

Le Mec:

Hotlist

  • Music in movies. The way the right kind of music at the right moment can just utterly enhance a scene and how it affects you as an audience. When this combination of atmosphere and music really works, it reaches far beyond the movie itself. Most recent experience with this was in the movie "Notting Hill" where a great choice of music made a great movie even greater. I say fuck action movies with nothing genuine to say!
  • Sixpence None The Richer: "Kiss Me". If you don't like this song you gotta be without any sense of romance.
  • Jennifer Lopez: "If You Had My Love". Well, here's proof that beauty and talent don't always exclude each other. And she's primarily and actress. I mean, what can you say...?
  • Garbage will be doing a song for the next James Bond movie (probably the theme song). At this moment there's probably no better band for the job to create a song that truly keeps the atmosphere of a Bond movie yet still reaches far beyond the Bond universe. And, by the way, I'm going crazy over their brilliant album "Version 2.0" all over again...
  • Former Norwegian heroes A-ha have been reunited and will be releasing a new album in the near future. I always saw the qualities of the band and especially their latest couple of albums have been really great. So I, for one, am welcoming them back with open arms.
  • I found a few funny illustrations of some of my favourite bands and thought I'd share them with you. You'll find them on my Toon page.
  • Information on upcoming album releases. As always the dates should be taken with a grain of salt though the sources are genuine:

    The Cure (rumoured to be just around the corner)
    The Dandy Warhols (Summer)
    Garbage (August)
    Bernard Butler: "Friends & Lovers" (September)
    Supergrass (September)
    Gomez (September)
    Live: "The Distance To Here" (October 5th)
    Pet Shop Boys
    (October)
    The Charlatans (October)
    Kent (October)
    Sneaker Pimps (October)
    Sting: "Brand New Day" (October)

    And currently working in the studio on albums due out within the next year or so:
    U2, Oasis, Radiohead, The Smashing Pumpkins.

Notlist

  • Just a vague complaint that the summer months are pretty dead when it comes to new album releases. Unpatiently awaiting the Fall in that respect...
  • The lack of decent radio stations in Denmark. Monopolized conditions make it hard for any new and interesting ideas.
