A welcome 'new Moby'? - By: Mitch, 10 Apr 2008 As a fan of Singer/Song-writers & 'live' music - I am generally wary of anything which might be construed as plastic-pop. More to the point - how does 'The Producer' manage to get his name on the front of the album? Impressive to say the least - but Moby did it with huge success - so why not?
Having seen Ronson & the Music Week awards, accepting an award & playing a set as DJ - he truly is one of the least impressive & under-stated talents I have seenin some time - HOWEVER...
This album deserves the success it has had - & deserves a paying listening audience. It is so different to so much of the rubbish that gets produced today. The entire album is very easy to listen to (though without immediate repetition) & the covered songs are done soin a very original manner. The diversity of artists is also a refreshing change although I find Lily Allen to be supremely annoying, lazy & talentlessin her 'can't be ars*d' delivery. It's unfortunate that Amy Winehouse is such a laughable mess & I wouldn't support her alleged 'habit' by buying her records - but her voice does suit Valerie - though like Alanis Morisette or Duffy - I think 40 minutes of it would be enough to promote a destructive act.
On the whole - Mark has done music a favour by reminding the public that there is more to life than Soul, R&B, Thrash & pop. What's more he has marketed himself as an 'Artist' which I see as entirely appropriate when I see some of the 'TAT' that 'Artists' are allowed to displayin 'TATE.'
Well done Mark - for introducing new flavoursin an increasingly bland sweet-shop. Have a Brit on me (but lose the Mid-Atlantic accent p-lease) !

How do you get on in music when you have no musical talent? - By: The BigE, 10 Mar 2008 
Answer: Use people who've got some! If there's a better example of how to achieve fame & fortune on the backs of other peoples efforts then I'd be very surprised! This guy plays very average guitar (if it's even plugged in)and lets the 'guest vocalist' with the talent (Amy Winehouse & Lily Allen excepted) & the other (real) musicians carry someone elses song & he gets to put his name to the album & take the credit! My god, how gullible are people to buy this stuff & financially reward this talentless parasite. And yes I am aware that Mr Ronson is involved with the production (before anyone comments) but my main gripe is that he trys to pass himself off as a musician by being on stage rather than shut awayin a mixing booth (or better still shut away completely).
Bargain bin material at Woolworthsin a few months time (let's hope).
Dazzling reinventions of modern classics. - By: Ian Turnedge, 08 Mar 2008 Achingly cool collection of inspired, witty re-interpretations of some old favourites...
I am pretty certain that the inspiration for this album came from one of two sources:
1: Scooby Doo: close your eyes, &in almost any track, you can easily imagine Daphne, Fred, Velma, Shaggy & Scoob doing their funky cartoon dancing ....
2: The soundtrack to a cooler, edgier version of Austin Powers.
It's all a matter of personal taste, but I'd say it is quite an achievement. He even makes Lily Allen sound good.
