I Swear That This Still Isn't The Lily Allen Blog, But Lily Allen Is Insane

...because she apparently thinks she's fat.

Or she just freaked out last week(ish), blogged about it on her MySpace, and, well, came off sounding decidedly un-Lily-esque.

You've heard the album, she's supposed to not give a shit about that kind of noise. Which made me kind of wonder what the hell she was doing fretting over a nonexistent weight issue.

But she's made amends, and was pretty much her old self again in this interview, held about a week after her post:



Check at around the 1:35 mark for the Fergie impression. It's pretty brilliant - dead fucking on.

And holy shit, uppers to Lil for still being able to promote Smile without fellating a gun. Drop LDN stateside as a single already!

More news:

Bonde do Role and Plan B are getting spins on MTV. No videos though - just little placeholder snippets that MTV uses late late late at night in between videos.

I'm guessing that MTV is feeling like they're being left in the dust, with blogs having usurped the tastemaking role that MTV's had for, oh, the past two decades - so instead of taking the time to actually break good bands on a decent show (c'mon, really, is one hour a week too much to ask?), they'll just insert tiny soundbites of bloggerdom darlings in between videos to get some cred. Nice move. Assholes.

But while I do have love for Bonde do Role and the handful of other baile/funk/post-punk/electronica/reggae/non-English/insane outfits out there, please believe I'm still waiting on my girl M.I.A. to bring it for real.

She's been missing in action for awhile (I made another funny! HA) but dropped Bird Flu a few months back and she's been keeping everyone on their toes since.


M.I.A. - Bird Flu

But the first official track off the new album (KALA) is gonna be Boyz, check it:


M.I.A. - Boyz

Watch out when KALA drops in August - expect more Diplo on the boards (CHEA), but she's also bringing Timbaland (she was also on a cut from his Shock Value), Danjahandz, and 3-6 in for prodo and guest spots.

Oh, and please please please cop Arular if you've never given M.I.A. a whirl. Your ass will start to move. Involuntarily, probably. Also, it's pretty much one of the best albums ever recorded. Seriously.

And because I feel like I need to close things on a happy note, fuck Idol, fuck Daughtry, I still haven't heard the new Linkin Park, fuck that Maroon 5 joint still pwning me, fuck Rihanna for looking so good but putting out such a gawdawful new single, I still haven't bought Pipettes tickets, fuck Carrie Underwood (not really, she's kind of ok), I'm STILL listening to Bang Camaro, fuck Buckcherry and The Almost and Boys Like Girls, and a big motherfucking FUCK YOU to my fucking iPod adapter charger thingy for being lost.
