*obnoxiously chewing gum*

…so like yeah, The Donna’s wanna spend the night. I mean like everyone totally wants to spend the night with me, but that’s not what this is about. They’ve named their latest offering to chicks with guitars rawk, Spend the Night. The cover is all sleep over chic, with some dude on the back all passed out, with lipstick on his face. Cuuuute!!

*spits out gum*

I never used to like these girls. They seemed REALLY annoying, but if I really think about it I may have been confusing them with Kenickie. I won’t do that again. Cos they really were annoying. And shite. Anyways, the (four-non) Donna’s blast us with 13 songs of girl angst covered in sugar sugar candy pop. What else did we expect? Hmm, not much else and that’s a good thing.

*smudges eyeliner and ends up more Karen O than Debbie H*

Something’s gone wrong in my chemistry and all I wanna do is dance around my bedroom air guitar in one hand and hairbrush in the other, pretending like I’m part of some loud mouth sexy as fuck band, making out with boys and spending my days covering up hickies so mom and dad won’t see. I wanna move like some Sandra Dee after her cherry was pipped.

*drops cigarette on floor and stubs it out with hot pink sandals…burning hole in carpet*Fuck!

As I’m still mourning the brutal kidnapping of the gorgeous goddesses Veruca Salt (damn you Courtney!) I need something to cheer me up LIKE NOW. And with three days to go until pmt melt down, this record is the band aid of choice.

Spend the Night, with its fast paced guitar rants about boys and their bad girlfriends, skinny boys (ick) and bad boys trying to get girls drunk (try roofies, much faster and the compliancy is probably worth the conviction) will fill my rock chick needs and save me from whinny boy rock, that is until mom and dad ground me for giving head to the gardener.

*picks up fake ID and climbs out of window*

(Stacey does not condone the use of illegal mood altering drugs to victimise women and their sexuality. She generally needs little coercion and will DO literally anything to get attention. Except dogs-ED)

The Donnas - Spend The Night

Grrr... when will they piss off!!! Bad bad bad band. Give me Helen Love any day!

Re: The Donnas - Spend The Night

This album really is shit on a stick. They've taken one half of a Status Quo riff and recycled it over and over and over. And not just on this record, the previous albums were exactly the same.

For the record, Kenickie were ace.

Re: The Donnas - Spend The Night

I am not getting in to this debate again Andy. Kenickie were in no-way ace and we just have to agree to disagree. I do find it funny that Lauryn is now a band leader on Johnny Vaughns BBC3 show though *grin*

Re: The Donnas - Spend The Night

where's my Kenickie t-shirt...

and my Donnas album...

(disturbing image over)

ollie.

Re: The Donnas - Spend The Night

kenickie were evil. lauren laverne is unbearable. there's no two ways about it.

lauren laverne's only good moment was her guest vocal slot on mint royale's 'don't falter'.

Re: The Donnas - Spend The Night

Kenickie were bloody awful and incomparable with the Donnas. Lauren Laverne is much better as a TV person, bu still altogether lacking in any real bite.. shit... they were out at the same time as Daisy Chainsaw and they still had the gall to pretend hey were 4 Real..

Those in favour of the Donnas should go check 70s/80s bands The Runaways and The Go Go's and OBVIOUSLY The Bangles...


Re: The Donnas - Spend The Night


The Donnas bring the black death to good female rock.

At least Lauren Lavern can show INTELLIGENCE.

(and should miss Starfucker even be old enough to remember Kennikie?)

Re: The Donnas - Spend The Night

don't make me feel old, i should have worn my kenix t-shirt to the DiS alldayer on friday to see if Stacy attacked me, but in the end one of my IDF t-shirts won me over, as they always do

ollie.

Re: The Donnas - Spend The Night

Helen love fucken suck! You're a fool. The Donna's are hardly offensive, they just write catchy pop songs (like about a million other bands do!) so ignore 'em you elephant faced, Tenacious D wannabe.

Re: The Donnas - Spend The Night

Motley Crue - Dicks + Dumber Lyrics = The Donnas.

I love them, mainly because I want to impregnate the drummer.

Kenickie were mostly shite, there was a remix of Stay In The Sun that I liked but Lauren just has an average "girl humming in her car" sorta voice.

Re: The Donnas - Spend The Night

i've just gotten around to listening to spend the night. like, on repeat.

oh my god.

when did they get good?

it's like aerosmith without y chromosomes. godDAMN.

bejesus.

Re: The Donnas - Spend The Night

You are all (mostly) wrong, especially about Kenickie :)
BTW who cares what Lauren Laverne does now?

The Donnas - Spend The Night

Re: The Donnas - Spend The Night

Mr Metal Hammer himself in a 'on the pull' shocker!

Re: The Donnas - Spend The Night

Queen of the groupie teens. Stacey sounds like one hell of a laugh. Should we get her out for one of the DiS nights?


Re: The Donnas - Spend The Night

you just think she's an easy fuck you cradle snatching pervert.

Re: The Donnas - Spend The Night

Oh Lord. Sense of humour???

Re: The Donnas - Spend The Night

tee hee monsieur. i already have something to pull on and it resides within my underwear. i was just admiring a fine piece of work.

Re: The Donnas - Spend The Night

wow. she must be small

Re: The Donnas - Spend The Night

only on a cold day squire.

Re: The Donnas - Spend The Night

Quit this jovial bantering before people get the assumption that Dissers possess a sense of humour (which would explain my musical taste, well, sorta)... glad to see you still check ouy the site Terry. Take it easy mate.

Re: The Donnas - Spend The Night
