i need to get this off my chest, i'm starting to fucking HATE "chippy" chipmunk esp when he comes on the radio. it's his arrogance: what has he actually got to be so confident about, with his awful mersh lite tunes and c-list grime status?
< /.rant. >
I was at the Time Out thing at the Opera House (ygetme) and Chipmunk had an entire row of girls pushed up to the front of the stage singing along to every word, telling him they loved him. So I think that is what he's got to be confident about. And jesus, he's like 18 or something, and he's had top 10 hits - that would turn anyone's head. Chipmunk does have some warmth and charisma, even if it is basically the confidence cum arrogance of a teenager who's never failed
OT Wiley was there also, phoning in a piss poor performance, doing half a verse of each tune before getting bored. Obv it's understandable why; it was the bar at the Opera House, the acoustics weren't what he was used to (and he let us know that, ad nauseum), there were only middle class tourists and kids there, but, y'know, don't bother doing it if you're going to hate it so much.
Edit: Anyway, sorry, I remember what I came here for - where can I get this mix CD?
