After a 24-hour bout with what was either swine flu, malaise or just plain lazy assed-ness, D'luv is back to banging out the trash.One notable video and single that's gotten a tad glossed over is Lily Allen's second offering from It's Not Me, It's You—"Not Fair."
Lesser-informed folks who've got head firmly up arse (if you can believe it, not actually a reference to Lily) would have you believe "Not Fair" is a flop. And if you're using the pretzel logic that having a single enter the U.K. Top 10 at #10 one week, then climb to #9 the next while the album that spawned it is catapulted back into the Top 5 is a flop, then, well, flopsville it is.Alas, that's simply not the case, and "Not Fair"—not officially released a a single till May 11, mind you—has given Lily her fifth U.K. Top 10 hit.
Anyway, as previously noted round these parts, I'm on board with Lily Allen this album. Chalk it up to the bangs and face glitter.
And in a bit of decent timing, it's been announced that Lily will be playing Austin City Limits this year, possibly ensuring a third D'luvvly pilgrimage to Texas this September.
