np: "Biology" - Girls Aloud
Nothing like a great pop song to brighten up the dark and rainy days of late October, when an extra spring in the step is a much desired thing. UK pop queens Girls Aloud have been providing us with hits to launch that extra spring for a couple of years now, tossing off excellent singles such as "Sound of the Underground", "Love Machine", and my personal favorite "The Show". These girls might be unfamiliar to most of you readers in the States, which is unfortunate because these girls deserve just as much praise as the Spice Girls got on this side of the pond back in the day. You may have caught an earful of them in the movie Love Actually though, as it was these very girls that provided the superb cover of the Pointer Sisters' "Jump (For My Love)" for the soundtrack (unfortunately not included on the US version). Anyway, exciting news trickled out this week about the girls preparing a new album for release before 2006 is upon us. Also spreading around the internet like peanut butter on bread is their latest single, "Biology", the perfect genre-mashing antidote for a crappy day. Click on the link below the picture to hear it for yourself though. It's not as spectacular as "Long Hot Summer", from earlier this year, but its still a great pop tune in a long line of great Girls Aloud pop tunes. Hopefully someday soon the success of these ladies will translate to their albums being available here in the States, but until then we'll just have to savor what little tastes we can grab or pay the crazy import prices.
