Moving on- (I'd read about this on a friend's blog a few days back) Lady Gaga has a new song. But I only heard it yesterday on Radio 1, and the DJ (can't remember who it was, someone replacing Scott Mills?) admitted that it sounded exactly like all her other songs, but that's ok, cause 'that's why we like her - cause she knows what works for her'.
I actually think it's quite different to her other stuff, departing from her tings from 'The Fame', and getting slightly 'bigger'. I mean, just by listening to this song, you can easily visualise her performing this song live at a huge festival.
Next. I listened to John Kennedy on XFM last night, for the first time in at least a year. Wonderful, just wonderful. That guy is a genius (even though he did get a text saying that he (JK) was a really annoying DJ two years ago).
Anyway, he played the most amazing remix - possibly the most chillingly hair-raising yet most breath-taking remix I have ever heard. It's the XX's remix of 'You've Got the Love' (originally by Florence and the Machine). As Kennedy pointed out, they have a tiny Florence sample in there, and the whole remix is a drastic reworking of the original song. Which, I think, is what makes a great remix: when you can depart so far from the original, yet still capture its essence. Thank God Radio 1 was playing Robbie Williams just before this, otherwise I would not have switched to XFM to hear this amazing ting. Welcome back JK.
Enjoy:

dude, i totally left you a message here but either you've ignored it or blogger's being a bitch. i'm inclined to think it's the latter.
anyhow, GUESS WHO IT IS? yeah, it's me. i blog too, just in case you hadn't realised, but i'm a bit of an html noob so i deleted the html codes for the post commenting boxes... oh well.
and to actually prove that i've read this blog post- bad romance is gonna be so huge, yet again; it was sick when it premiered at the alexander mcqueen show.
