This is a link post Little Boots does cover of Hot Chip on Tenorion
Right, if you don't know, this girl is going to be pretty big this year, she's just won the sound of 2009 from the beeb. Here she is playing the tenorion and singing in her bedroom. Takes a minute to get going then it's fecking ace.

Bigging her up a bit as I used to work with her in a bar in Leeds and she's a nice lass.

Dont think it's GC

This is a normal post Yeah, I saw that!
Pretty random when you consider they cost thousands of pounds...It's basically a glorified midi controller for triggering loops. Which makes it all the more bizarre, as I can't remember any sound coming out of it in IT Crowd!

This is a normal post ace isn't it?
It's like a mobile tracker sequencer. It's about 600 quid though so i'll leave it to her for now. There's a good vid of her on Jools Holland playing it too.

This is a normal post Liking this
lots.

Also liking her style of music on mySpace, I'm quite surprised BBC chose her as the sound of 2009. I would have guessed they would have went for some boring indie Snow Patrol thing.

Yay.

This is a normal post Not sure whether i agree with
This person is going to be big.. like her!

Then lo and behold they are big..


am I just a synical crotchety little fucker that doesn't like to be told what to like? Yes, but my point stands..

Though I'm sure shes very good.. I'm hoping Little Boots is the name of her band, rather than just her..

If her stage name is Little Boots im definatly going spit every time I hear her mentioned..

Man Im such a cumudgen

This is a normal post Well be prepared to spit then
It's Little Boots, not sure why. Her name is Vic, she used to be in a band called Dead Disco, and they were a bit shit, but I think this is pretty ace. Each to their own and that though...

This is a normal post I'm just a little bitch like that lol

Seriusly im a complete arsehole sometimes when it comes to music I dont like duffy (well i think her songs a boring, and her lyrics sound likee they were put together by some computer programme samlping James Brown tracks)

but whole schtick at the moment is people not singing like them selves.

Which is a bit hypocritical, given my love of Free and Led Zep etc.

But I thought were were moving away in this country from simply imitating americans?

So Joss Stone can do a pretty mean impression of a 70's soul singer, Duffy and Winehouse as well, nice party trick.. how about singing propperly please..

I quite like Lilly Allen's voice it and some other lass, it may be a bit mock, but its getting there.

Its going the otherway, my sister bought me an album The Coronas, from Dublin, but they sing like theyre from Leeds?! Great songs, just wtf with the accents?

I have a real chip on my shoulder I know..something to do with liking folk music i gues

One of my Hot Chip favs.

This is a normal post What is wrong with her voice?
I thought maybe she was foreign and was singing by copying the sounds of the song rather than knowing what she was saying (like so many japanese karaoke singers) but it turns out she's from Lancashire? What?

It just sounds wrong to me. I have no idea who this is.

This is a normal post I'm not saying she's the best singer in the world, but I have to big up people I know.
Also, I am pretty sure she is going to be massive in a sort of Klaxons-Hot-Chip-Nu-Something sort of way, so get used to being annoyed by her, especially if you ever venture near radio 1. Actually, in that case you deserve whatever you get. Any station that hires Zane 'It's fantastic' Lowe can get fucked

Great skill with the Tenori-on and a very good looking girl to boot(little boots?) - but her voice lets her down, although it may be nerves...
