Bit of a departure from my usual tastes, but I stumbled across Lily Allen recently and felt like sharing. The critic's shorthand for her is "the female Mike Skinner (aka The Streets)", which is semi-accurate I suppose - little vignettes of urban living, relationships, drinking, drug-taking, and assorted little tales of little lives, musically veering from garage-y or drum n bass to gentle acoustic numbers. She shows a wicked sense of humour on a lot of her stuff too that seems a bit less forced and laddish than The Streets, to my ears at least.Anyway, this is a bouncy little track about the modern girl's dilemma of how to deal with unwanted advances in a pub etc, and is worth it for the little aside of "Oh, please fuck off" if nothing else...or maybe I'm just easily amused.
