Finders Keepers

Not only did we forget to write about this song a few weeks ago but we've also managed to leave it off the Friday Catch-up feature, which in turn, we forgot to actually do last week. Needless to say, we understand completely if you guys all bugger off elsewhere for your musical needs. Lord knows we would if we could.

Anyway, this is the third single from the increasingly interesting Rose Elinor Dougall. Some of you may remember her from The Pipettes, but most of you won't seeing as they existed mainly on the pages of magazines and in Japan. Dougall's ditched the faux-'60s girl group stylings of her former band (who are now a duo with no original members - like the Sugababes but with less tabloid fodder) and gone for a more stately, chamber pop sound. 'Find Me Out' is not single material in that it's slow, subtle and features words like "cerebral faculties" and "arteries". It's still rather lovely though...

Do one

We're nothing if not fair and so we've decided to give you the flip side to Kate Nash's recent foray into the world of Stars In Their Eyes ("Tonight Matthew I'm going to be PJ Harvey"). This is her new single proper and it's called 'Do Wah Doo' and if that's not enough to put you off then here's the video:



The song is catchy enough but the lyrics, once again, are woeful; "I saw a cat, yeah, on a mat, right, and I was like, you're a prat". OK, so that line isn't in the song but you get the feeling it was only left out for being too detailed. It's a shame, because there's something there it just doesn't work when she tries to be The Pipettes.
