Orbiting

So Lungs leaked, and it is extremely brilliant. But that was to be expected, so it is a little sad. The power of expectations is sickening, isn't it. There are no surprises left in the world, especially in one where albums leak in parts which leads to a RUINED LISTENING EXPERIENCE.

Anyway, the focus of today is on the death of a pop group. Bellefire started out successful, did amazingly in Ireland, and scratched some sort of success in the UK. But soon after their sophomore album they were no more, despite huge success in Southeast Asia.

Fucking Southeast Asia. Why promote in Malaysia and the Phillipines, when that's about as effective as sending a letter to Radio 1 begging them to playlist VV Brown or Sophie Ellis-Bextor. Perhaps the Bellefire girls only have themselves to blame. Effort and money could have been better spent elsewhere. Sending off one of them to Big Brother could have made at least 2'000 in terms of album/single sales.

But anyway, this is for real. They are no more, and this is not one of those situations where members return a decade later, reassemble and take another crack at an album. This is actual death of a pop act. Cruel, tragic death. Maybe Bellefire died a long time ago, but only today can their true loss be felt.

R.I.P Bellefire.
