KYLIE MINOGUE 2 HEARTS gmtv
Uploaded by RAQUELLE

That chorus is phenomenal and the track is quite surprising. It's nowhere near as electro as I had imagined, given the single sleeve being like some glamrock circus act. The video isn't that great, but it's certainly better than videos like "Gimme More", "Song 4 Mutya" and "About You Now". I do love the bit at about 2:11 where she struts out in the catsuit and the mic stand swings up. Teehee. All we need now is for Kylie to release her album X and we'll be right.

Glenn Sez: Kylie, Idol Singers, La Vie En Rose

Hi y'all! Glenn here. I got some shit to say so sit down and listen... or, casually glance over it?

Kylieomg! Everyone who has their toes wading in the pool of pop knows that the worst-kept secret for many many years is that Kylie Minogue is greedy. And I don't mean that in the dirty money grubbing way, no. I mean that Kylie is sort of notorious for recording way too many tracks for albums. Way too many that she (and us, natch) could ever hope to put onto an album plus singles and b-sides. Word is that Minogue, for her comeback album with the working title of Kylie X (which I hope they keep. It's fabulously retro and futuristic), has recorded something like 70 tracks... and rejected them all. Of course, some of the tracks are (suspiciously, if you believe the rumours) leaking out of Kylie HQ and onto the net. I can confirm that "In My Arms" is pop brilliance and if this is what she's recording, listening to and going "Hmmm, no" about then Kylie X is going to be THE GREATEST ALBUM OF ALL TIME!!! I keed you not, if "In My Arms" were the first track to be released people would be shoutin', hootin' and hollerin' claiming it as nothing but amazing. "Stars" is also quite addictively amazing with a slightly more guitar-lead chorus. "Fall For You" and "Lose Control" are quite good too and would make perfectly adaquate album tracks.

Alas, they will not be on the album. They may not even be b-sides (and her b-sides can be quite good sometimes, hello "Made of Glass"). Man, I don't think rejected material has ever made me so jazzed about an upcoming project. Of course, the sneaky leaking of this material means nobody else can record it and release it (or, most likely not) and so those song writers who wrote them aren't gonna make a pittance. Oh well. If you can search these tracks out on the net (the place where music matters is always a good place to start I guess) then do so. They're better than Madonna's "Hey You"!

Likeomgdeangeyeromg!!!! Did you, like, totally watch Australian Idol Last year? Because, like, omigod, right? Dean Geyer is sooooo hot omigod. Like, I totally had to listen to his album, Rush for work and, oh. my. god. Guess what! Guess what! GUESS WHAT!! You'll never guess! Omigod.

...it's not that good. BUT, and this is entirely worthy of going into fits of "omigod!"s. He has a song called "She Comes in Waves", with the following chorus:

She comes in waves/
And then slips away/
And I wish she'd stay/
But you can't always get what you want/
And she comes in waves/
Here she comes.

...omigod, right?!

I must say though, I have mentioned many times before about my dislike for celebrity men to be all waxed and preened (or, obviously so I should say) so I commend Geyer for embracing his chest hair inside the album sleeve (open shirt, gents/ladies. but if you want the rest you can lookie over here or modfab did a collage last year). I didn't expect that from him. I know it's strange that I'm even discussing this, but his album is so incredible same-same throughout it's 12 tracks that pretty boy ogling was something to pass the time. Still, though, could the album cover be more bland?

Speaking of Australian Idol contestants, it came to my attention (and to my ears attention, unfortunately) that first season contestant and failed chart act Cosima DeVito is releasing a new single. It's titled "Keep It Natural" and it's quite ridiculous. When I saw the CD sitting on the desk at work me and The Boss joked about her not getting the message the first time around, naturally though, I had to take it so I could pay her out and get paid for it whereas here I just get the smug satisfaction of criticising it purely for the fun of it.

Oh! But it was totally worth is, actually, because now I've gotten the chance to here Cosima's desperate (and way too late) try at becoming some sort of gay icon. The dance remixes are utterly shite. So if they play this in the clubs and you see people dancing to it you know they have shite taste in music and you need to find someone else to pash.

Edith Piaf! Is she going to have the biopic-fueled chart resurgance that greeted the likes of Ray Charles and Johnny Cash in recent years? Perhaps. Perhaps not. But I must say I'm not exactly a fan of french music (outside of film scores I guess) but I figured I should take the La Vie En Rose soundtrack and educate myself before the film's release (which is?)

Things I can assume after listening to the soundtrack:

1. Marion Cotillard mimes the songs in the film because all the tracks are credited to Piaf. It's more Ray than Walk the Line on that account.

2. There is up to 11 songs in the movie. Out of the 27 tracks on the soundtrack, 11 are Piaf songs, 9 are score tracks (which are nice, but a bit samish) and 7 "additional" tracks, for some reason. Are these original songs? The album sleeve states they're just 2007 tracks (whereas the others said "1950/2007"), but there is singing on them? So... original songs?

3. Marion Cotillard is probably going to be able to pull a lot of cutesy faces.

4. Marion Cotillard is probably going to be the "exotic" choice in this Oscar season if early word is correct. Is Julie Christie going to be the Helen Mirren? Oh, it's too early for that...

...my in depth analysis is totally scientific doncha know.

Multiple Personalities

Isn't Kylie Minogue's "Come Into My World" video just one of the best ever made. Seriously. As if you needed any more proof that Michel Gondry is a genius, there is this clip. I love that all the multiple Kylie's aren't singing along with the track, but are singing from the start even if they came in halfway through, so they're all out of sync. You can watch this clip dozens of times and notice something knew every time. Anyway. I just thought I'd post this. Cause I could. I'm a bit sleepy now.

I have newfound respect for Bono

Respect, y'all

Random Things

**You know what I love? I love a good ol' cry over a movie or tv show. I just watched the series finale of Roswell on DVD and as I've made it abundantly clear before I love Roswell (it's sorta one of my all time favourite tv shows) and it was just... awww, shucks. I love Katherine Heigl and Brendan Fehr. I love that ending so much. It's one of my all time fave finales.

**There's a thing on television right now called ABBAmania and it's just a whole bunch of celebrities singing ABBA songs in front of a big audience. I'm confused. I just... don't understand it. Hi-5 (yes, Hi-5) are singing "Take a Chance on Me" (and I love that song, so it's weird and freaking me out.) And it's hosted by Richard Wilkins AND Bec Cartright Hewitt. Two of the most insufferable personalities in Australia. Ugh. Remember Wilkins' gameshow Keynotes or Keytones or... whatever it was called, where contestants had to guess songs by listening to the notes that were uncovered by answering trivia questions. Hilarity ensues.

**So, the store I work for (BiLo) closed today. It's no longer BiLo, but on Thursday it'll open as Coles. People are idiots though. Everyone was like "Oh, you're closing earlier tonight?" (we closed at 6pm instead of 10) even though we'd been telling customers for a month. I hate people.

**I think I'm gonna make a new banner.

**The light in my room blew up again.

**Kylie Minogue returned to the stage last night as her Showgirl Homecoming Tour premiered in Sydney. She performed a brand new setlist and included upcoming single "White Diamond". She also upped the homo-factor by doing a cover version of Madonna's "Vogue" (another song that I L-O-V-E) I'm gonna have to LimeWire that in a few days time.

**There was just a tv commercial for "Weeds". It's actually gonna air! Holy crap!

**YAWN. Seriously. I'm in the minority in that I actually like Hannibal, but I thought Red Dragon was one of the dullest pieces of claptrap all year. I personally love the comment that IMP Awards wrote about the poster

As for the tag line, can something truly begin with revenge? Surely it must begin with whatever inspires someone to take revenge in the first place. Maybe I'm just being too picky...

Oh, so true...

**Kate Ceberano is on this ABBAmania thing. LOL, remember X-Factor? That show was a disaster from day one.

**That's all right now. I think I'm gonna go watch last night's episode of Veronica Mars.
