gwen sodding stefani

just heard “wind it up” by Gwen Stefani (her new tune)

wow. it really is a crap fergie b-side, isnt it?

did her “muses” tell her to emulate pop’s finest old solo slag?

in other news, “irreplaceable” by beyonce is my new favourite song.

how to use the Sony NW-A3000 without that godawful connect software….

*update-nov 2016* – sorry, i’ve not used my NW-A3000 in quite some time, and i’ve not tried it on anything newer than winXP (i went to macOS years ago, and only really use windows for work these days) – i’m happy to update this post if anyone has any new info/links though…
—————————————–

ok, I got me a Sony NWA3000 20gb mp3 player recently. I was fully aware of the horror that was the connect software that came bundled with it, and only knew about the Sonicstage software that sony were providing as a replacement. I wanted to try and find some alternatives for sonicstage. Preferably of the opensource variety… Normally this site doesn’t do geeky stuff like this, but I thought there was a distinct lack of decent articles on what to do, so publishing here was the best bet.
So what did I find?

MMHA – where all the pretty ladies come to dance!

the dancefloor at 2am this weekend

The new look Red Room is FANTASTIC!

the old layout made it relatively difficult to get a decent dancefloor going, especially early on. you had to deliberately *want* to dance. now you just have to be in the room and you’re pretty much on the dancefloor. once a couple of people hiding at the sides start shaking their hips, more people join in and before you know it you’ve got a full dancefloor by 11pm. RESULT!

the photo above was taken just before 2am on saturday night/sunday morning, and had been that way for the last three hours (normally the dancefloor starts filling up around midnight). I think the spice girls may or may not have been playing at the time.

setlist hopefully later tonight…

Tweedy accuses All Saints of copying

I think the new All saints song is *brilliant*

no, its not original. who cares? GA arent purveyors of originality either. besides, its their own fault for releasing a greatest hits instead of a proper album (same for the sugababes)… this year its up to frank and all saints to bring the noise.

original article
Cheryl Tweedy has accused All Saints of copying Girls Aloud.

The outspoken singer believes that the group’s new sound is unoriginal and is furious that so many bands from the past are choosing to reunite.

“The new All Saints sound just sounds like us,” Tweedy complained. “They must have looked at what’s working at the moment and thought we’ll go that way, but the whole reuniting band thing at the moment is driving me insane.”

Cheryl’s bandmate Kimberley Walsh added: “Good luck to them, I hope they stay friends this time.”

Theres a new clubnight in town. think of it as the caffeine-addicted little sister of MMHA. every sunday in stealth, playing pop, dance, hip hop and whatever takes the mood. oh, the beer is cheap too!
