Eliza Doolittle
Impressive track (Rolling Stone) from unknown Glasto bit-part, Eliza Doolittle. Should be a hit; hopefully the nasty ad men won’t spoil it by tacking a crappy TV advert to it! Her EP’s out soon. The first half is great: distinctive, retro soul with a distinctive London bite. But it creeps too close to gym cafe music with Don’t Say No though, you might want to give that track a miss. Bang Back, the final track, is supposedly just a demo (wondering what it’s doing on an EP), and is just plain irritating Mariah Carey shite. ED’s a name worth watching out for, assuming she can avoid the poppy crap (which may be a label demand, to be fair to her).

(disclosure: she’s a fellow Arsenal FC fan, and this may or may not be the reason why of all the good music I’ve recently discovered very recently, I chose to share this!)

- Has Elvis Costello inadvertently stumbled on the future direction of physical media retailing?
- Costello's wacky experiment will sell you a digital download code for his album, and then post you the package - WITHOUT the CD (presumably, you download it and burn it yourself). At first glance this seems like a pretty lame attempt to appeal to the digerati and be more contemporary. Wow, whoopee shit, he trusts people enough to let them burn their own CDs. But there's a lot more to it than that (...)...
