Lily Allen @ KOKO, London 1/28/09

Lily Allen's It's Not Me, It's You has a more electro-pop vibe than her ska-sampling breakthrough Alright, Still, but thematically not much has changed. The British pop star readily admits she still likes to party -- she's only 23, she blogs in her defense -- and like many kids these days, her life is an open (Face)book. No surprise then to hear her tackle celebrity ("The Fear"), drugs ("Everyone's At It"), ex-boyfriends ("Never Gonna Happen"), and dad ("He Wasn't There") on the new album. (In case you were still confused, there's a song called "22" about not being 22 anymore.) At KOKO in London last night, Lily performed these provocative new tunes, along with anti-Bush Carpenters-appropriating "Fuck You" (Megyn Kelly's gonna love that one!) and her cover of Britney's "Womanizer." We've got some great pics and not-so-great video from the gig. Note alcoholic beverage and extended middle finger ... she's just being Lily.

Greatest pop star alive. I'll be at HMV on the morning of February 4 (Japan release date) with bells on.

poor thing looks like she can't handle three inch heels, but her go of 'womanizer' does make me very very happy.

I'm inexplicably drawn to Lily Allen. New stuff hasn't grabbed me as much as Alright, Still, but she's almost too much fun to criticize.

The fact that this is the second comment I've read where some poster claims he would eat out of an attractive singer's asshole really makes me question whether I should frequent this site.
