She'll dance to anything but St. Etienne
Apr. 22nd, 2005 02:45 pmIt's Friday! It's about three o'clock! It's time to Boogie At Your Desk!
( You what? )
Today you were invited to Boogie At Your Desk to:
Helen Love - Does Your Heart Go Boom?
This is a Whitby BAYD special. It's the Whitby Goth Weekend which means that not only am I in Whitby, but all the really miserable, mopey, gothy types who read this LJ are as well. So, we can take advantage of their absence and have something relentlessly cheerful. Don't tell them, will you ?
My first encounter with Helen Love was the CD single of Does Your Heart Go Boom?, somewhere in the region of seven years ago. I forget how it arrived - by post or delivered in person - but I believe it was a notional birthday present. I fell in love with it immediately, and played it at everyone who would stand still long enough.
They all hated it.
Fools.
Helen Love is bubblegum punk-pop (disco, don't stop!), willing to namecheck anyone and everyone in a song (Atari Teenage Riot, Bush, Kula Shaker and Manchester United in this track alone). At the height of their indie credibility, Ash covered the Helen Love song Punk Boy. Despite that, Helen Love has been languishing in near-total obscurity ever since.
However, with the might of Dave Gorman and Phil Jupitus championing them (them ? her ? I've never been 100% sure), there is a new single out a week on Monday. Buy the Bubblegum Killers EP, or miss out on the underground musical revolution of the century.
Anyone who's willing to register a username and password can download more tracks from Helen Love's own site.
