2010 has been the year of the comeback for many acts from Kylie to Cornershop, Groove Armada to Gil Scott Heron.
I was going to post Ms Minogue's new single, simply because having a song sung by the SAW-spawned starlet who brought us 'I Should Be So Lucky' would upset the sensibilities of all those who stumbled upon this blog via The Archie Bronson Outfit. And because the video seems to have upset the moral sensibilities of lots of other people. (And because it's quite good). There are loads of remixes out there, but none seem to capture the original's essential catchiness. Unfortunately, I can't embed the video so you'll have to catch it here
No such problems with Cornershop though!
No new song by The Fall can be counted as a comeback since barely a year has gone by since the 70s when one hasn't been released. However, it is once again a new line-up, and features Mark doing his thing over a decidedly Glam Rock backing track. So, better late than never:
Finally, 2010 marks the return of the best pop band of the decade, with an album that also features Mark E Smith, a single that boasts Mos Def AND Bobby Womack, and an accompanying video that stars Bruce Willis. (Can't help thinking 2D is due a name change now though)
