really food
really good
To summarise:
1) Lost a stone
2) Started getting her hair done in Hoxton
3) Discovered Sleater-Kinney
4) probably went to explore herself in India for a month
5) Found a passion for MDMA and ketamine
6) Had a lesbian endeavour
7) sold the animation rights for said endeavour to Disney / Pixar
8-10) Sucked
I quite like to watch Kate Nash explore herself for a month
she's been going on about riot grrl stuff since she first put shitty demos on myspace in about 2006
I was expecting something a lot worse
Written and recorded in less than 24 hours
no shit
What did they do with the last 23 and half hours?
Quite like it
I like this:
http://open.spotify.com/track/3TCgPD1BNRXp1UQtdI3MB7
ahahahaha
wow wtf
This is shit
I don't care how 'raw' her vocals sound, it's still shit because the vocals are shit
She's taking the piss, right?
Proper parody innit
Utter shite.
Kate Nash
Do you not think she looks less attractive after losing a bit of weight? I do.
agreed
She was nicer with the red hair and the curves, yeah.
(but her music was painfully shit too).
bitches always look better with a bit of meat on their bones
IMO
This is the worst thing I have heard in ages.
Makes me sad. Really really sad.
Actually starts quite well.
Then turns hilariously shit.
And I'm not sure whether to feel disappointed or reassured.
have you heard her other riot grrrl like stuff?
it's pretty solid, so this could have worked so much better
...when she starts singing
There's only one Kat Bjelland
shockingly awful
Reminds me of smack the pony
when they do the piss-take songs at the end of the episode...
Didn't make it past the first minute.
Count yourself fucking lucky.
You don't wanna know what happens just after the one-minute mark.
hahahaha
Ideally, i'd like to judge her solely as a musician, and not based on her looks...
but i must say, i think she was a LOT fitter before.
*fitta
metal machine music for the Radio 1 crowd
right?
wait what
You say that as though Metal Machine Music isn't already Radio 1 fodder( In b4 CG!).
that vocal is so so bad
sounds like shes hurting herself, and not in a good way
she also looks worse
for losing a stone
for a bunch of politically correct brigade no marks getting upset at someone joking when a stage collapses, you're all pretty eager to spend a whole thread discussing whether Kate Nash is much fittah when she is one weight or the other FWIW
yeah, the weight stuff / how fit she looks is kinda below the brand new belt
but what can you expect from us VIRGINS
.
bit different joking about a bloke dying to posting mildly sexist stuff in a thread about an attractive woman.
but yeah, both are shit threads.
Pretty sure he
wasn't joking about a man dying
i've just PMd the Femidom 3...
they say they're not looking to take on any new recruits just at the moment but if you keep on being a massive nonce they might reconsider in a few weeks.
Kate Nash's Rock n Roll For Girls After School Music Club - Lesson 1
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OLZLZHi8HLA
She hisses like a sssnake.
Pretty sure I've seen her drummer on Tastebuds.fm.
i'm liking this
Nice interplay between the ladies.
Fair play to her for doing that.
It's awesome.
is she that bird who was moaning about someone having a chimney on them?
yeah it's The Tamperer feat Maya
she wants to be the girl with the least cake
meh
Froglet on drums
:D
http://i.imgur.com/taGx1.png
at
least a 8/10.
Musically, who cares?
(This is a joke)
MARKS OUT OF TEN, LADS
I'D GIVE HER 1
wwwWAAAAAAAAYYYYyy
s'alright
bang on trend
This seems as good a time as any to reel out my old story about meeting Kate Nash.
I was just waiting to be served at a kebab shop in Chalk farm, when I looked over and saw Kate Nash (it was before she was really well known). She saw that I recognised her. When she walked past, I said: Excuse me....are you Kate Nash?
She looked really pleased with herself (not annoyingly) and said: Yeah.
Did you offer to share your kebab with her?
Nope, but I bet she's got a nicely packed kebab.
Did she go and talk to your friends because they had so much PITA?
Taxi!
groan/applause
No, I believe she said "I just want your shish, boy"
Thank you ladies and gentlemen, you've been a wonderful audience.
amazing
this is good
she's always said she's into punk music etc and i think maybe she's just experienced enough at music to make it now. the earlier type of music is easier to make
after hearing the whole song she obviously still needs to work at it but it's good shes progressed
You should join her band- get a tinychat supergroup going.
after watching the first 2 mins
of her rock n roll girls school video i think i'd fit right in. she's very giggly and misguided
Yeah, I think you'd be great!
^forgot to sign in as insincere dave
BANTS
This is punk music?
Pfff, yeah- get with the programme, grandad.
I reckon it's easier to make this kind of music
cos it's sloppier and less concerned with melody.
kinda this
whilst lyrically 'mouthwash' might have been pretty simplistic, there's some fairly clever instrumental stuff going on.
Interesting move on her part
I always though the piano\vocal melodies were the strongest aspect of her music so it's pretty brave to more or less abandon them altogether.
Bitchy-self-righteousness-feminist-racial-awareness-ville, aka, tumblr
Has just shat the bed over her wearing a bindie.
what's a bindie?
-1,000 Bindie Points.
oops
that thing on her head
Think he's just pointing out the misspelling of "Bindi".
I thought she forgot to wipe a drop of cumm off her face
Now i'm been rude, sorry
The day you take the bins out
but why is she wearing it?
I really like the music in the whole thing actually
And the vocals in the beginning. It sounds quite a bit like a rougher Warpaint at that point, with the creepy close harmonies and dark bass. The vocals after that though ... why? It so clearly sounds bad, who would you put that to tape?
Pretty disappointed too given that i really do like her earlier attempts at punky stuff

Mansion Song (last 2 minutes after the kinda embarrassing poem) - http://open.spotify.com/track/28dOjW8dH5DI4ccWvEn02N
i think it sounds alright
better if you're not watching the video at the same time maybe
definitely
her new look is fine but it is a bit try-hard in that video
Musically, alright
Vocally, truly awfully terrible. Just terrible. And it's not much of a song.
Surely to be shocked by this
you'd have to be under the impression she was making decent music in the first place? Maybe, possibly, a slight improvement over the sucking lemons cos you're fittah song.
well yeah
"My fingertips are holding onto the cracks in our foundations,
And I know that I should let go, but I can't"
Which is pretty devastating really
*but then that song also contains lyrics like ...
fucking hell there is some thick people on the music board
*are
haha this thread
don't know why anyone cares about music that is clearly aimed at children. no artistic merit.
intelligent input, dahling
there's lots of good music for children

my snob sense is tingling!
Good callback
Annoying voice...
The funny thing is, I suspect this is exactly the kind of place she'd expect to bum this new-found AUTHENTICITY
It's not any less terrible than Slint or Sonic Youth or any of that shite, but still terrible. Maybe she's, y'know, finally making the music she wants to and not worrying about chart positions and upsetting the label etc. etc. but it makes my ears a bit sad listening to this and then Foundations back to back.
On a side note I used to fancy Kate Nash more than just about anyone in the world, ever since I saw her at Dot To Dot in Bristol about a month before Foundations came out. She's looking a bit worse for wear these days but that's probably part and parcel of not being part of a radio-friendly unit-shifting corporate mechanism anymore and so forth.
haha, i know what you mean, but remember, she still IS a radio friendly unit shifter
her last album got to number 8 in the charts (despite total disappearance of this kind of 'indie' in the mainstream), she's still signed to a major label who are still going to utilise her strong visual image in the marketing for her already recorded new album which will no doubt feature many songs designed for radio play (just like Doo-Wah-Doo off the last album was clearly chopped down to having one verse, presumably entirely for commercial reasons).
This recording a song in 24 hours thing will have happened with the blessing of Fiction at the very LEAST, and has most probably been planned out for ages.

Oh god
I think I might be a terrible person
ohno!!
sorry! I understood that you were taking the piss with the first line, but I didn't get the subtle irony in the other two paragraphs! hahah oh well...
it'll be like the new ladyhawke album
delayed, delayed, delayed and then put out like a damp squid. then dropped.
Why's this got over 100 replies?
also fappable on the music board wtf?!
I'm honestly as surprised as you
Why has it been so badly recorded?
You can hear snare and hi-hats over everything.
She also looks like she's been on a coke bender for a few days.
I like all the posts about how she was better looking before she lost weight
:/
I liked her better when she was meatier.?
iknwyuuwannafuffme 56 minutes ago
Itchy Bum ?
Definitely her best song by miles.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dNEQqZiPcXM
And yes. She was fitter fatter.
you are all incorrect
'Foundations' is a really good pop song
JUST GOOD POP MUSIC
DiS is bitchier than my nan's knitting circle
I thought it was fine. But then I didn't mind Foundations either.
As bad as the song is, I can't help but feel Kate Nash has won this round.
STOP TALKING ABOUT HER, EVERYONE.
...
Female musician launches admirable and pro-active campaign to encourage more women to play music and give them practical advice on how to do it. Internet message board users ignore it and make catty comments about her looks.
I'd say she's won pretty easily.
What, where's that part?
All I've seen is an embarrassing music video.
Buried about half-way down the thread admittedly
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OLZLZHi8HLA
the threads about the video you leg.
Exactly. That's the bit the OP and everyone else chose to focus on rather than the wider project.
I like leg as an insult though. Kudos for that.
I remember when bindie's (sp?) were trendy for about a week
around the turn of the century. Glad that this is unlikely to cause a comeback.
Jesus, this is still going.
yep, back to the top again
indie bindie
this is clearly the best thing she's done by a zillion miles
but then I'm a sucker for feedback-laden shaggy-dog romps
The vocals are fairly awful and its not really a song.
Did anyone else think her last album was amazing though? So underrated.
no offence but you always say shit things are good
Don't particularly like the track
but the stick she's getting for this is mad. She's been 'trending' on Twitter all day, not just on DiS. It's a pretty fair artistic change - she's been chatting about Riot Grrl for years, good on her for pursuing it when she could've just spunked out another pop record and sold plenty of records. I can't remember, for example, Plan B getting this much flak for what has to be the biggest, most cynical change of direction of recent history. At least Kate Nash is giving up chart baiting to do something she prefers, rather than the other way around.
I gave him plenty of flack
watched this again
it's really the video that is the problem - all that looking in the camera and giving hand gestures was part of the music she USED to make so to drag those moves into the riot grrl/grungey thing she's doing now doesn't work AT ALL
it's embarrassing but easily fixed
I'm sure I'm not the first person to have pointed this out
world keeps turning
Irrespective of whether it's any good or not
I have to say... stay classy, DiSsers.
I love the bass.
The vocals though... I'm sure, somewhere, Carrie Brownstein is absolutely pissing herself.
Did anyone actually listen to her second album?
There's some pretty weird shit on there, fair play. Reading this it's like all she's ever done is Foundations followed by this.
I listened to it
It was better than this but still not very good, dreadful lyrics and clunky music. iirc it was very well received on here and got nominated for that alternative Mercury Prize thing Sean runs.
(I haven't listened to this new one yet)
but yeah, I thought the second album was great. Her first felt a bit rushed and scrappy and over-Paul Epworth'ed.
what did you like about it, just out of interest?
It just seemed more natural
The first one was a bit too new-Lily-Allen for me and never really sat right, as much as I love the twee pop singles there's not much more to it than that. The second album sounded like she was actually enjoying herself more, playing music she gave a shit about. It was just a stronger, more fully formed album
yeah, I hated Made Of Bricks
'Birds' is decent enough I guess. She really can't write, though.
all of this
plus Don't You Want To Share The Guilt is just a great song, with a brill outro
Can't think which track that is
Going to listen to it again tonight though I think
3rd track on the album
Here's a great live studio version of it
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0nVaxTjx03w
I listened to the song
I think it's good. I listened to the second album again. It's great.
To be fair, it's not original
but I really like it.
She does look like a total trustafarian though, but I guess she's a "star" so she can dress how she likes and get away with it.
Can someone tell her there's no hyphen in "underestimate"?
Also, it's terrible. But mainly the first thing.
I like it.
really not keen on partial first listen
couldn't stand it so turned it off half way.
But, if anything, this song has reminded me that I actually really liked her second record. So I've just relistened and yes, I still think it's a good confident record where she is obviously enjoying herself, and it shows. Not the sort of thing I'd normally like either.
but yeah, the new song, just gash.
