Cansei de Ser Sexy – Tired of being sexy. Hell yeah. They throw their lyrics right smash into your face and let you enjoy them without the frills. On Sunday night, at the Astoria in London, I was hit with my first live fix of CSS. And my veins are still throbbing. I know enough to sing along to “Alala” and “Meeting Paris Hilton”, but apart from that the sounds were new, and extremely enjoyable. The crowd moved together, surging towards the front of the stage, and everyone jumped. Always a good sign at any gig is when everybody jumps, because you can’t help but jump too, and that gets the sweat rolling and suddenly, without wanting to be, you’re sexy anyway.

Four albums in and Pink is anything but dead! Sticking to her tried and tested formula, she is banging hard on our doors and reminded us that she well ... rocks. In fact she rocks us, pops us and RnB's us through what is arguably her best album to date.

Pink doesn't do subtle, and in her open letter "Dear Mr. President" she sends her message to the war-mongering politicians. The album also dares to touch on the subjects of Bulimia in "Stupid Girls" and materialism in "I Got Money Now". None of which is for the politically correct, so those of a none-rebellious nature should steer well clear or risk being assimilated.
