Kylie is Kylie Minogue, another one of SAW (Stock-Aitken-Waterman)'s ridiculous musical acts. SAW are a trio of producers with exactly one bass line, and probably less than one good musical idea. They take these no-mind bozos and pump out some crass pseudo-disco shite for them to "sing" over. She and Jason Donovan are the subject of a song by the KLF ("Kylie Said To Jason") which mentions Rolf Harris, Sun ARise, and digeridus! Probably the only pop song I've ever heard that did this. Having said this, Kylie's version of "The Loco-Motion" was marginally entertaining. Someone far cleverer than I once called Kylie and Jason "the cultural equivalent of the AIDS virus." PS to IED: Thanks for that comment about the British music press. I know you didn't mean it in a complimentary way, but I took it as one anyway because my goal in life is to write like that... -- +---------------------- Is there any ESCAPE from NOISE? ----------------------+ | | |\ | jsd@gaffa.mit.edu | "I like George Bush, but this `kinder, | | \|on |/rukman | jsd@umass.bitnet | gentler' crap is killing us." - D.Trump | +-----------------------------------------------------------------------------+

Really-From: nv89-pyl@nada.kth.se (Patrik Yle'n) I must say that I'm truly amazed that somebody could not have heard about Kylie Minogue. She is right now every european twelve-year- olds favourite, with hits like 'Hand on your Heart' and 'I should be so lucky'. (Pretty dreadful stuff really.) She is, together with some other artists of her like, (Bananarama for instance) the main income-source for producers Stock,Aitken and Waterman, who produce about one hit every two hours. Kylie comes from Australia, where she originally was an actress in a soap called 'Neighbours'. nv89-pyl@nada.kth.se (Patrik Yle'n)

Most Australians will cringe and hide under tables at the mere mention of Kylie Minogue's or Jason Donovan's name. The most amusing thing about them is that they claim every os often to be 'serious artists'. Bollocks!! > Kylie comes from Australia, where she originally was an actress > in a soap called 'Neighbours'. Yes, this is now the favourite soap in Britain. I thought the people from the UK had far more taste. She wasn't a very good actress either. I have no idea how Kate and Kylie could share space on the record charts. There's no real contest there. Kate is a musician and meaningful. Kylie is popular, but who cares :-) ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Stephen Nicholson (The Mighty Ogbo) stephen@wraith.cs.uow.oz "I'll bet you're the sort of bloke who pulls his undies out of his bum with his finger when he's talking to someone..." - Black Alice - "Sons of Steel" -------------------------------------------------------------------------------
