What's that, coming over the hill?

is it a monster? Is IT A MONSTER?

I bet you look good on the dancefloor

you lucky lucky lucky!

Wanna be in the charts? You don't need to write an entire song any more. All you need is a chorus a catchphrase or a hook. Ideally your catchphrase should be something you might use in everyday life, "I bet you look good on the dancefloor". Or take something that just sounds out of place - is it a monster?

Stuck for an album name, just take a well-worn phrase and use that. "You could have it so much better". If you're feeling really original, you could turn a well-worn phrase around and make it slightly different. "Don't believe the TRUTH" Aha. Ahahahaha.

Where's the originiality? Where are the wordsmiths? Don't try to tell me that it lies with Shambolic sham Doherty. It doesn't. The Streets are not poets for a new generation, they're avin a larf mate. All that remains of the UK music scene seems to be pop calling itself rock.

And there's so much GOOD stuff out there, sadly much of it being made by Americans. What happened to great original British music? It's still there, but now it's unashamedly pop. In terms of music, Goldfrapp have a lot to offer. Not lyrically, but as pop music, and as pop music that revels in being pop, and doesn't try to call itself something else.

In terms of rock music - there isn't any to be seen in the charts. I've never had anything against pop music, as long as it knows what it is, and embraces it.

Top of the Pops may be over, but it's rock that's gone.
