But wait, NSA did get reviewed...

Well, kind of. During my week in Hamilton, Mum finally got me to clean out the shelf above my bed, home to many a soft toy, and as it happens, far too many Maccas Happy Meal toys (there's probably about 3 trademarks that need to go in there). Hidden amongst the Girls' Brigade camp-decorated flowerpots, I happened to find a stash of paper, including such treasures as 12 pages of notes on some pop music festival in London (personal favourite: "Ronan Keating needs to lose the denim jacket, this is the 3rd time in a row I've seen him performing in it." Ah, how things don't change), some address to a geocities site, possibly involving spreadable cheese, a fantastic wee poem based on the black denim on shattered glass masterpiece (I'm quite impressed at the rhymes - must have been inspired back in the day), and this little start on a review:

Bye Bye Bye
Well, I've got a bit sick of this song, but its [a time before Steff a had proper grasp of the concept of apostrophes] still pretty good. I like the first bit of the chorus [why?]. If you listen to it too much it gets really ... I dunno, tedious. You've all heard it (unless you live under a rock) so I won't go into much detail. Its [my punctuation and general use of grammar really was appalling] really a chart song, not a 'real' piece of music [ever the music snob, no matter how reluctantly]. 7/10

Its [argh!] Gonna Be Me
Like the above, it gets a bit too much, but I really like this song (especially the dance :-) [yeah, I do like the dance]). If you listen to it on karaoke you can hear Justin beat boxing hehe. I like the little keyboard bit during the verses [pisses me off]. Has anyone else noticed during the bridge bit ("It's gonna gonna gonna gonna gonna ... its [!] gonna be me [may]") that there's a sound that sound[s] a bit like a bed creaking? Just wondering. [That sound totally ruined the song for me. If it was on Schizophrenic I'd be inclined to think it was deliberate.] 8/10

Space Cowboy
This is my favourite song on the album. I read this review and these chicks were saying how the rap isn't very energetic, but have you heard her in "Never Be the Same Again" [sic - bleaurrrrrrrrgh] with Mel C? I think JC was REALLY intelligent bringing Lisa Lefteye Lopes [sic] for this. [OK, I feel I may be getting annoying popping up all the time as a square bracket, but what?! Besides the fact that I am obviously a stupid teenager who cannot spell (the worst kind), I do not understand what I wrote. Was I being sarcastic? Did I actually believe JC to be intelligent? Was I applauding his ingenuity of bringing a little street cred to the album? Incidentally, bad taste, but has anyone else noticed that rappers that guest for JC tend to die? Just wondering.] I love the whispering/heavy breathing thing [oh yeah, it's a JC song]. Who did that, by the way? [It was JC.] I can think of a really good dance for this song. 10/10 :-P [Put that tongue back inside your mouth and plant it firmly in your cheek. There, that's better.]

Just Got Paid
Ummmm ... you can hear Lance. [Aaaaaaaaaaahahahahahaaa. I love it.]

So, Mary, there you go. A sample of what the NSA review would have been like. Hours of entertainment.

In other news, this week I almost bought a car, wore a nightie and did me some gardening (not all at the same time). It was all most unusual.
