HARD TO SAY I'M SORRY

Aquagen

There is as much reason for this single to exist as a 76 foot tall lilac hamster that can shoot lasers from its eyes (although... imagine the field day the press would have). Think of your average dance track, now think of the old Chicago "classic". Now what would have happen if the two were mixed together? That's right, you get a complete mess of a song. It may well become a sizeable hit, but it wouldn't be fair considering the lack of effort that's gone into this.

TIMES LIKE THESE

Foo Fighters

Usually there's something about a Foo Fighters song that makes me think "This is a Foo Fighters song, then" even before I know who it's by. Does that make sense? They've got a distinctive sound, that's what I'm getting at and it's evident here. I can't really describe what it is, I'm not a music expert (hell, I have a copy of Cotton Eye Joe buried in my music collection somewhere so I'm not even going to pretend to be an authority on music). The problem is, usually their videos are better than the singles (Learn To Fly, for example had a great video but the song didn't do anything for me), but recently things seem to be moving the other way. All My Life was a good song let down by a lacklustre video and seeing as this is even better that means that by definition, the video is going to be awful. It jigs along at a merry pace without ever going anything like the same speed as a Hives single and is one of those songs that you just know won't get anywhere near as high up the chart as it deserves to. It's a cruel world we live in and no mistake.
