Let’s be totally honest, people: even before record number two, we’re a bit over Lily!
What with her increasingly monitored life and potty-mouthed lunacies being splattered across any publication with an inch of free space, it’s easy to forget that not so long ago Dear Lily was the toast of the pop music world – ‘music’ being the operative word. Nowadays, attentions lurk more about her button nose being baked in party grime while her massively mischievous eyes leer pie-eyed out of a black cab window rather than the biting, cutesy pop that in 2006 had her pinned as a British Pop Idol.
One might quip that as a result of such severe non-music related attention, there is a whole lot more riding on the success of the pop-tartlet’s second helping, ‘It’s Not Me, It’s You’, than funding her next pack of fags, as, more than any other pop star, musical integrity has always been paramount to the gobby youngster. And so, shacking up with pop-music puppeteer Greg Kurstin, Allen delivers an equally engaging follow up to ‘Alright, Still’, though banishing ska-lashes to make way for a totally synth-steered sound, ‘It’s Not Me, It’s You’ is a dangerously likeable shift for the girl who continues to wear her heart in her songs.
Indeed, no taboo is left untouched by Allen, who, let’s face it, probably has enough personal ammunition to fuel a ten-year career of brutally autobiographical albums. First single ‘The Fear’ picks at small-minded indulgences and the fickleness of fame; somewhat trite though it is, sticking out of a flood of soft synths, it’s sickeningly catchy and dance friendly. If Allen’s latest stance on party drugs fell on deaf ears then opening track ‘Everyone’s At It’ will compensate, as sirens alarm one to X-rated rants that are to come, starting with ‘It’s Not Fair’, a loosely spilled barn-dance ditty that has Allen griping: “Now I lie here in the wet patch in the middle of the bed / I’m feeling pretty damn hard done by / I’ve spent ages giving head”. ‘22’ follows, a piano-led song where the crisp-spoken Allen speaks of ungraceful ageing, before ‘I Could Say’ and the wildly breaking techno jab of ‘Go Back To The Start’.
Though the pout, attitude and shameless honesty of ‘Alright, Still’ sticks like bubblegum, the jostling pace that accompanies her new dance-filled flow will pleasure many. Sample dabblings will surprise (the clapped Balken-styled ‘Never Going to Happen Again’ waddles slightly) as kitchen sink dramas tire somewhat (‘Chinese’), but then comes the endearingly titled ‘Fuck You’, a one-track summing-up of the charm that is Lily Allen: impolite truths in the voice of an angel, making ‘It’s Not Me, It’s You’ a feverishly catchy and bona fide favourite. And so, despite public lashings and continued tabloid exposure, Britain’s mouthy pop idol returns triumphantly and with the brawny guts to stick with what she knows best.
Though we may be over Lily, the celebrity, be ready to embrace ‘It’s Not Me, It’s You’.

James is an Adelaide
James is an Adelaide kiral?k araç
boy but we don't hold that against him. James is based in the traquil Oto Kiralama Ankara suburb of Galston- importantly, only 90 Audi Q7 Kiralama minutes havaliman? transferi from the Hunter. James grew up in Northern Sydney where is love of storms was only matched by his love of cricket. James is especially kiral?k oto lethal off a long run (though his bowling action is a tad suspect), and his Murray Walker impression is only topped by his freakish ability to talk like Tony Grieg for hours on end (something that frequently happens on a storm chase).Dann is a Melbournite but, again, we don't hold that against him oto kiralama
either. Growing up in Western Sydney, Dann watched the storms brew over the ranges from the roof of his parents house. Now based in leafy Warrimoo located in the Blue Mountains, Dann shares Vip Araç Kiralama a similar love of sport, and though he has no forward Ucuz Araba Kiralama Ankara
defensive shot, he can punt the leather Sherrin a mile. Partnered in commentary with James, Dann readily supports with his uncanny impresonation of Ray 'Rabs' Warren - and like Rabs, is always Range Rover Kiralama willing to absolutely over the top on typically mundane topics.
Matt was the founder oto kiralama ankara of Thunderstruck Storm chasing in 1998. Matt grew up in Burwood but now lives in Blacktown, with easy access Bmw Kiralama Ankara
to major freeways for frequent chasing! Matt's love of extreme weather has him out and about whenever possible, chasing the wild stuff this state has to offer.Although not the best at actually playing sports, he is a keen sport lover (broncos fan!), and with the 2 stooges above, make up the Sydney storm chasers team.
Here is some answers to some common emails :
No, this is not a full time job, and we do not get Bmw 320 Kiralama Ankara
paid. It is a hobby we take great pride and joy in, and take seriously. The combination of weather forecasting, together with filmaking and photography makes for an extremely challenging yet rewarding hobby (obsession)
Yes it can get expensive with film Bmw 520 Kiralama costs, fuel and car serivices, and accomodation ?oförlü Araç Kiralama on our days off when we Ucuz Araba Kiralama can get out in the field.
Yes - we designed this site. Well some of us - Two Brown Shoes - its a drupal based site running off a mediatemple grid sever. We tweaked our site for 3 years to get it right and we are still tweaking. Graphics stuff is all done by Dann. Programming and other assorted techy stuff is done by SSC pal Myles
Yes we are those 'sydney storm chasers' you might hear about in the media. Each of us have given radio interviews, on Triple J , and ABC radio in Sydney and regional NSW, and 2UE, NOVA and MMM.
Yes - we are interested in supplying Minicooper Kiralama Ankara severe storm and weather photography to newspapers, magazines, calendars, postcards, and for business use, just drop us an email.
