Marie Serneholt/Lily Allen/Michel Houellebecq
Marie Serneholt
Marie Serneholt was the oldest member of the Swedish teen pop band A*Teens, who after 6 years together and more than 9 million albums sold (to who? when? seriously?) the band broke up....now Marie is going solo and you can check out two of her songs on the fluokids blog take me there, 'I need a house' is pop in it's purest form, want to hear it? Sing Marie
I'm sure you don't want to see any more photos of Marie, but just in case you do you can see some: Here and Here and Here
Lily Allen
Lily Allen is the daughter of actor/comedian Keith Allen, but in all honesty that hasn't got a fat lot to do with anything. I've heard snippetrs of Lily's music but this Kasier Chiefs cover is so much better than the original and highlights what a talent she has that I just had to post it.
Here's hoping the music industry doesn't take what was good about her mixtapes and 'wrap it up in Topshop vouchers' - mass market her as yet another pop stralet with a smackrel of attitude.
I think she's worth more than that.
A great Lily fan site: Here
MP3: Lily Allen - Oh My God (Kaiser Chiefs cover)
Michel Houellebecq - The Possibility of an Island
Platform was a great novel, disgusting in places but ultimately it had a lot to say and said it with gusto. Possibilty of an island looks like Houellebecq in familar territory, he's created another grotesque character for us to unwillingly emphathise with in the form of Daniel a hateful stand up comic. The book deals with Daniel's increasing detachment from the world at large and his growing interest in the Elohimites - a cult who claim to have cloned this first human being (based on an actual cult, the Raelians) The story is interspersed with chapters from two of Daniel's cloned descendants living 1,000 years later, Daniel24 and Daniel25.
Atomised, one of Michel's other novels has just been released as a film.
