THE HOT AND NOT
LIST as of January 19th 2003
Le Mec:
Hotlist
- Ash:
"Free All Angels". I just thought you should really take the time to get to know
this album. I used to consider Ash a bunch of drunken lads that had lost it after a couple
of decent rock albums, but this really is a return to form - in fact a step up to a whole
different league. The album is melodic as hell and if you've ever been into British rock
music, you will love it. That's a fact!
- Ivy:
"Long Distance". Another 2001-album I think should get more attention. This is
laid back atmospheric pop music at its best. Perfect for a sunday afternoon. Even better
if it's raining...
- Alice
Martineau. This girl is being hailed as the new Dido - only better. So I
thought you should keep an eye on her. Very soon she could be everywhere.
- Zwan.
The new Billy Corgan outfit will be releasing "Honestly", their debut, in March.
It's reputed to be close to the sound of the Smashing Pumpkins "Adore"
album which is very good news. It was their best.
- Foo Fighters' Dave Grohl. In these Nirvana times, previous members are
very present in music journalism. Despite his rather famous profile, however, Grohl
manages to keep his feet completely on the ground. Without being a boring sod, that is.
I'm not really into Foo Fighters as a band but I salute handling stardom well any day.
- The Hives.
Swedish crazy punk rockers with immense humor. Yep, I wasn't kidding. These are actually
Swedes with humor.........Must mean that whenever they're on tour away from Sweden, it's a
pretty grim place...
Notlist
- Let's give it up for the marketing people for Kelly Osbourne. She's not very
pretty, a bit overweight and really doesn't fit the profile of a pop idol at all. So if
they manage to make an idol out of her, they've really managed to by-pass rule number one
in pop music today: that you have to look good to be a success. I guess the TV series
hasn't made it more difficult......which, as a credit to Kelly, she's very aware of
herself.
- Liam
Gallagher getting his arse kicked in Munich. Finally we have proof that
surrounding yourself with bodyguards and then pissing on everybody doesn't make you more
of a man. When he finally had to support his words with actual physical power, Liam fought
like a girl and got his teeth kicked in. Can't say I'm not a little bit
pleased...hmm...guess this one belongs on the Hotlist then ;o )
