Are you bored waiting for me to get the internet in to my new house? Aw, sorry about that. But thank you for reading anyway. In the meantime look at Girls Aloud performing new single "The Promise" on The X Factor. It should be number one by the weekend. The official video's good too but "embedding has been disabled by request".

Noughties But Nice
Yesterday I whiled away an afternoon by looking up some of my favourite singles from the last 10 years on YouTube. Year by year, here are some of the videos I chose...
1999: Pizzicato Five "Weekend"
2000: Sugababes "Overload"
2001: The Ones "Flawless"
2002: DB Boulevard "Point Of View"
2003: Richard X featuring Kelis "Finest Dreams"
2004: Girls Aloud "The Show"
2005: Rachel Stevens "I Said Never Again (But Here We Are)"
2006: Goldfrapp "Ride A White Horse"
2007: Groove Armada featuring Mutya Buena "Song 4 Mutya (Out Of Control)"
2008: Rihanna "Disturbia"
So I think it's fair to say that I'm into ultra-camp synth-disco.

Exciting Annie-related News
Annie, wonderful Annie, whose last album "Anniemal" is one of the Seven Wonders Of Modern Pop (or something) is back. Back! BACK! To celebrate, she has put her new single up on her MySpace page.

SINGLE OF THE WEEK
Girls Aloud "Call The Shots" (Polydor/Fascination)
After the disappointment of the Sugababes' below-par album and The Spice Girls' comeback - a damp squib of a single if ever there was one - it's left to Girls Aloud to rescue British girlpop once again. Happy to report then, that "Call The Shots" is their best single since "Biology". We're talking triumphant mid-paced synthpop, wistful midwinter disco. It seems that Brian Higgins and his Xenomania pals are incapable of writing a bad tune, and they seem to save their very best ones for GA. If this doesn't whizz into the Top 5 next week, there really is no justice in the world. It is simply one of the most charming pop releases of the year and bodes very well for their imminent album "Tangled Up". Their guest appearance on X Factor next week will hopefully give it an added sales boost. Hurrah!
