You would like this music if you were cool.

I love Lily Allen. I know, I’m kind of late on the Lily Allen train, but here’s why I love her music and you should too. A shit-talking British accent, blown out dance hall beats, horns (in case you miss the Specials), Holly-Golightly-meets-Pink ensembles, and she has the most annoying background ever on MySpace.
Anyone who’s not a rapper and says fuc$ing in the first stanza, on the first song, of their first album, is my new best friend. Who doesn’t want to sic a bunch of British dirt bags on their ex-boyfriend and then “Smile” about it? She’s vicious and adorable. Oh, and who doesn’t love that “old school” cd loading sound that seems to be so popular now.
Here’s the downside. Listening to her gives me hopeful chicken skin just like Liz Phair used to. Ah, I loved Liz Phair. Scary loved. Liz Phair had those two excellent albums and then, she got happy, or married, or whatever, and started to SUCK. I was lost. Whenever a new, talented, smart-mouthed, female artist comes along I fall in love all over again, BUT now, I can’t help but think, “Just don’t disappoint me bitch.”
Anywho, there are some cool little mp3’s at the bottom of this Pitchfork interview where you can also read more about how supremely awesome she is.

got happy, or married, or something?
That must really suck, especially since Liz nor Lilly never got any of the above with me.
I ain’t negative, I just ain’t trying to jump a queue for Lilly which probably began last millenium.
