Pretty Records are keeping very quiet about how they are to launch “Sliimy”
in America, but if Simon Fuller has anything to do with things,
he may get the break he needs I guess. Pretty Records are already big in France and Germany, so I guess they may get behind him.

Ugh. I am confused and disturbed by all this fake indie-edgy-euro in mainstream music and film these days. It’s precisely the culture of my adolescence and young adulthood, but totally co-opted and marketed and therefore made rather suspect and horrid for me. No thanks, will stick with my newish, pure pop phase. It produces fewer ethical issues for me, as it feels more honest about its roots and what it’s all about. Guess I better go study up on that Backstreet Boys stuff you just posted then! It all makes me feel much more punk rock.

The chorus to “Wake Up” might work in a breakfast cereal/body wash commercial, but otherwise, I can’t imagine that label as anything more a tax writeoff for WMG (unless there’s a huge unfulfilled demand for first-album-Lily-Allen castoff tracks sung in an incomprehensibly thick accent – and French is my first language).
