Good to know that Mp3s and Cookies is keeping on the ball.
Anyway.
Our nostalgic look at some great (or totally shit) '90s songs. Let's start with round one.
Real McCoy "Another Night" (1994)
This was a fairly big hit, hitting number 3 in the US and staying there for a couple of months. "Another Night" is everything you'd expect from a '90s dance song - production values that already sounded dated by 1998, some fairly pathetic rapping by someone that no one on Earth would want to hear rapping (a white German guy), and the eventual revelation that the two ladies in the band were not actually the ones singing on the recording. How could you go wrong with all of these?
That said, "Another Night" is still a fucking amazing song.

We have a verdict...
We've heard more of Lady Gaga, and here are our thoughts.
Dull. Very dull.
And that solves that.

Hmmmm.
We're still not entirely sure of what to think of the new Yeah Yeah Yeahs album. "Heads Will Roll" and "Dragon Queen" are good listens, but we sort of miss Karen O. screaming and growling her way through songs.
You might say we're torn on the subject and we'll get back to you once we've slept on it for a bit.

The good news is...
...there are three good songs on the new Metric album.
You've already heard first single "Help I'm Alive", which is not the best thing they've done, but it's decent enough if not a bit "business as usual" for the band. Then there's "Front Row" and "Sick Muse".
"Front Row" is quite good, but "Sick Muse" is the one that's really knocking the stuffing out of our turkeys right now. We might dare to say that it ranks alongside "Combat Baby", "Wet Blanket" and "Monster Hospital" as one of Metric's top 4 best songs. Like those aforementioned tracks, the verses contain some witty, self-aware lyrics ("you better watch out Cupid, stuck me with a sickness/
Pull your little arrows out and let me live my life") and then when the chorus kicks in the world just gets a little bit better.
The album is called Fantasies and it's out today.
