I always have to think twice before spelling banana,
particularly if I don't have a spell check program.
And the normal visual pattern recognition tricks (and
spell checks) that help me get it right are totally
screwed up by addition of the letters r-a-m-a at the
end.
Thus have I been brought to the realisation that
underneath their pop exterior, the Venus girls
are actually performing acts of linguistic anarchy.
With this thought comes the realisation that Move
In My Direction is a subtle reference to the facts
that 30 is the new 20, Kylie is the new Charlotte, and
crap is the new good, just like it was the old good.
If you're confused, then that's good too - because
perhaps I've put over a little of the sense I get when
I listen to this single without the video: With the
video I'm impressed the comeback girls are actually
looking quite good and are flaunting the second stage
sexuality of women in the thirties. Without the video,
it's like; "What?"; "Excuse me?"; "And the reason is?".
So...will this be a smash? Toss a coin.
