Summary: A welcome 'new Moby'?
Comment: As a fan of Singer/Song-writers and 'live' music - I am generally wary of anything which might be construed as plastic-pop. More to the point - how does 'The Producer' manage to get his name on the front of the album? Impressive to say the least - but Moby did it with huge success - so why not?
Having seen Ronson and the Music Week awards, accepting an award and playing a set as DJ - he truly is one of the least impressive and under-stated talents I have seen in some time - HOWEVER...
This album deserves the success it has had - and deserves a paying listening audience. It is so different to so much of the rubbish that gets produced today. The entire album is very easy to listen to (though without immediate repetition) and the covered songs are done so in a very original manner. The diversity of artists is also a refreshing change although I find Lily Allen to be supremely annoying, lazy and talentless in her 'can't be ars*d' delivery. It's unfortunate that Amy Winehouse is such a laughable mess and I wouldn't support her alleged 'habit' by buying her records - but her voice does suit Valerie - though like Alanis Morisette or Duffy - I think 40 minutes of it would be enough to promote a destructive act.
On the whole - Mark has done music a favour by reminding the public that there is more to life than Soul, R&B, Thrash & pop. What's more he has marketed himself as an 'Artist' which I see as entirely appropriate when I see some of the 'TAT' that 'Artists' are allowed to display in 'TATE.'
Well done Mark - for introducing new flavours in an increasingly bland sweet-shop. Have a Brit on me (but lose the Mid-Atlantic accent p-lease) !

Summary: How do you get on in music when you have no musical talent?
Comment: Answer: Use people who've got some! If there's a better example of how to achieve fame and fortune on the backs of other peoples efforts then I'd be very surprised! This guy plays very average guitar (if it's even plugged in)and lets the 'guest vocalist' with the talent (Amy Winehouse and Lily Allen excepted) and the other (real) musicians carry someone elses song and he gets to put his name to the album and take the credit! My god, how gullible are people to buy this stuff and financially reward this talentless parasite. And yes I am aware that Mr Ronson is involved with the production (before anyone comments) but my main gripe is that he trys to pass himself off as a musician by being on stage rather than shut away in a mixing booth (or better still shut away completely).
Bargain bin material at Woolworths in a few months time (let's hope).
