Sinister: anodyne extra

[Charlie Farley]

"Overload" by Sugababes will go down in history as one of the greatest 
hip-pop songs ever made - I can't imagine anybody covering it and making it 
sound as fresh and funksome and generally brilliant..!

Altogether now: "Dream comes and I know its destination/It's a one-way 
ticket to a madman situation"

And that middle 8! Ooooh, the slow bit! And the fantastic (and, I fear, 
highly illegal) remix that mixes the Overload instrumental with Dr Dre & 
Eminem's "Forgot About Dre"! Naaah, that's a classic alright.

True, though: the very worst kind of records are those you *don't even 
notice* cos they're so utterly inconsequential. Allow me at this point to 
mention anybody from 911 to Doves and that dreadful new Madonna record, if I 
may? Songs that arrive and leave in just under four minutes, without even 
leaving a ripple on the consciousness, deserve to be strangled at birth.

I've said my piece. I'll go now. Anybody know anything about the ace Pulp 
song Xfm played at about 9.30pm last night? I think it's new...
