I know, I know. It's best not to think about it. But a band I like (and am working on at the moment, and enjoying being invloved with!) have been nominated to 'go on Lily Allen' next week. And as much as the other band (Clocks) would like to 'go on Lily Allen', I feel Malakai deserve it more, being the fascinatingly oddball pop presence that they are.
If you feel anything in that blackened, dry heart of yours, vote! Vote for hope! Vote for change! Vote for a NEW AMERICA!
Have a look, anyway - vote link is here - http://www.charmfactory.co.uk/malakai/index2.html
Alternatively, jokes about 'going on Lily Allen' are also accepted.
*OFFICIAL THREAD*
Malakai for me
...because they'd freak Lily Allen out to no end.
im going to vote for clocks
^this
I can't pronounce Malakia.
MAH LAH KI
Like Malkovich with a speech impediment.
That's MAH LAH KYE.
With KYE like RYE.
Not KI like SKI.
KY LIKE SKY NOT KI LIKE SKI
Are you With The Programme?
Is it not?
MAH LAH KIA like KIA in KIA-ORA, you know, the crappy orange squash Farmfoods sell dirt cheap to entice studenty folk like my (fine) self?
No, dude.
Malakiora is a liver condition.
Also:
It appears I cannot read.
Dyslexic maybe? I don't think so. Maybe just 'special'.
Ignore everything I have said.
One step ahead of ya!!

Ladies and gentlemen
I present: the argument against democracy.
what you providing the link to just one of the bands
not allowing to people come to a reasoned decision?
dont be so hard on yourself brainlove!
Who wateches Lily Allen that would be interested in Malakai?
Potentially?
Everyone.
Voted Malakai
Brilliant they definitely deserve to "be on Lilly Allen" - actually does any one deserve that!
Good luck Malakai!!!
bizarrely, this poster has two posts
this one here and one spamming for Clocks. what a turncoat!
I'd like to 'go on Lily Allen',
But I've just had one....:D
*that was the punchline I think.
nnnnyeah.
You see, that punchline could apply equally to-
"go" on Lily Allen
or
"go on Lily Allen"
...
... which I guess is either win/win or lose/lose depending on how much you love/loath the mockerney popstress. And water sports.
To be honest I dont mind her that much.
I heard 'cry' (I think thats what its called) the other day playing on my flatmates stereo, and I thought to myself that it is in fact a very well written and catchy song.
Just voted for Malakai.
Good man.
Do you like em?
I've been DJing "The Battle" out and it's gone down super-well with loads of different crowds.
I am properly excited to see them live. They played at ATP but apparently both vocalists had quite severe larynx problems so I'm glad that I get to save my first impression!
I am listening to them now.
Pretty interesting.
Sort of lo-fi minimalist overdriven pop (not sure if you agree?)
Snowflake is cool, yeah I like it.
is it possible for something to be lo-fi and overdriven?
I think so.
I took ages to get my head around what they're actually doing.
It's really quite a unique mashed up bunch of influences and sound sources they have, shot through with positivity and a good solid progressive philosophy, and candour, and humour. They've made their own TV series, completely DIY, and it's amazing.
They're just great, slippery and hard to pin down but kind of... completely and utterly pop. Just not the anodyne kind of pop we've become over-accustomed to.
I cant work out why I havent heard of this lot before.
Theres, elements of Beta band in 'The story of Malakai'.
Yeah, its really good!
:)
They're just really new!
I voted for them
purely because the front page of their site is a bit like my bands front page. It was a bit like voting for MYSELF.
DARCY WANTS TO GO ON LILY ALLEN
(i'm still so far from getting bored of that joke)
Good time
to point out that Lily Allen & Friends is fucking shit?
.
I don't think people who watch Ms Allen aren't particularly interested in anything other than "seein' Lill-E av a gd thyme olololol" Know what i mean?
*are* particularly interested
Cocks..
Hey...
What's wrong with Lilly Allen?
The programme
is patronising in the extreme.
See, you sent me this invite to this facebook group about this right?
And you say they have entertaining skits.
But where are the skits? How am I meant to feel passionately about something I know nothing about?
I was going to
Then it turned out they were shit.
wow
bands get nominated to go on this thing? how's that work then, is it all down to the power of myspazz or something seeing as it's lillly alllen.
their staying power
if they can hump lily allen to such a state of orgasmic ecstasy that she drops her nail file then they can go on the show.
I personally hope Craine get to go on and boost their profile by the two people watching.
Who?
You've been away too long
Awwww
Lily Allen
is everything a proper girlie should be, and I want to protect her.
ummm
why would a good band want to go on that show anyway?
Publicity.
They are on.
Tonight.
BBC 3.
10.30pm
Yelle...
was on it a couple of weeks ago, and she's fantastic.
Very bizzare
I got an e-mail today from one of my best pals Scott telling me to check out his mate Billy's new band Malakai!
i still haven't seen this show yet
seeing as dexter aint on until 11.30, it's a date
I'm setting my Miglia Stick to digitally record it!
It's online

Get me.
I am quit.
But now and then, you know.

Its funny but sad to see the zeitgeist fall on its arse
its harmless stuff really. I can't hate lily allen at all.
to JAG
I'll jag your mum
Malaka is Greek for wanker.
Shame about the superfluous "i" on the end.
