It's some rapper who was completely unknown to everyone and without a record deal until NME decided that she was so indie she was cooler than everyone else. Since then she has become well known (well more well known) and record labels want her - I can only assume this publicity makes her less cool in the eyes of NME

Hmmm - that sounds a bit dodgy. Oh well at least if she no longer fits their no 1 in coolness criteria, Jarvis can be first place now.

In reply to the question about recent/current bands we like: Goldfrapp. And also Lhasa de Sela (who sadly died last year), Gotan Project, Antony and the Johnsons, Scissor Sisters and Rufus Wainwright. My current favourites are Metronomy.

Maximo Park, Madlib, MF Doom, The Avalanches, Scratch Perverts, Plan B, Me First & The Gimme Gimmes, Gorrillaz, Talib Kweli, Akala, Dan Le Sac Vs Scroobius Pip, Mos Def... (The Ecstatic by Mos Def is a modern classic and one of the most inventive albums I've heard)

Jazza, please tell me you're not referring to MIA.

I honestly think the oughts were the worst decade in music. Lots of great stuff in the begining, The Microphones, The Unicorns, Menomena.... Animal Collective are the only ones still doing it for me nowadays.

No, it's someone called Azealia Banks - Not really my kind of music. Anyway MIA is very well known! This person was unsigned and didn't even have a Wikipedia page before now

THIS is the top 10 and I feel comforted to know I am not the only one who hasn't heard of anyone other than Jarvis

ha! First time I've been called 'fresh and new'! But it does seem to me that NME are purposely choosing people who nobody will have heard of to go on the list so that they seem superior. Clearly nothing revolutionary is happening in music at the moment so they should put all the 'oldies' in their cool list because that's where upcoming artists are going to get their inspiration from, rather than the musical wasteland we've seen in recent years.

And NME asked me if I wanted to be number 1, but I rejected because I'm far too cool for lists

Actually I've just reminded myself, Kelis is a brilliant act from the last ten years. And Nas. And Jay Z... fuck it, and Beyonce. Good music is good music. Who cares if there's no guitars in it.

4 $ur£ I i$ 2 k00L 4 Sk00l (innit). And the fact that that took me about 10 minutes just shows how incapable I am at writing like that - letters are there for a reason dammit!. And Fred... Beyonce - really? biggrin

That 'ring on it' songs pretty out there! I bet they had to fight the record company bosses when they wanted it to be a single. And she released an album named after an arse washing device.

The very idea of a cool list makes me vomit a bit. This is the exact reason music journalism is fucking garbage now.

The whole idea of the cool list is utterly stupid, but Azelia Banks is still great. Here's a sample (NSFW)

PS - w/r/t single ladies; i'm pretty sure it was the record company bosses who wrote the song in the first place. :p

I'd had a couple of jars when I mentioned Beyonce... She does sing a good pop song though. I know she doesn't write them but half their success is in the delivery. I think the guy in that Banks video wearing the baseball cap should be on the cool list! The new Bez.
