Ross Futurehead and Ashlee Simpson

This reviewing lark is harder than it looks, y'know. It's not just a question of listening to a song, watching the video and then gathering your thoughts. You've got to think about the tone of what you're saying, maybe introduce a theme or two, try and be as fair-minded as possible, and generally weigh things up as if you have the wisdom of King Solomon himself, and the enthusiasm of a Eurovision hopeful.

Course, sometimes it's just better to get a pop star in to do the job. Especially when they're the very eloquent and thoughtful Ross from the Futureheads, and the song you're talking about is the startlingly good 'Outta My Head' by Ashlee Simpson.

Here's the song first...

And here's what Ross thinks about it.

Note: This interview took place a couple of days after the Radio 1 Big Weekend, and I did kind of get chatting to Ross there as well, which explains the early mateyness, as if we're old friends. We're actually not all that close...yet.

=======================================

Now here's the video for the new Futureheads song 'Radio Heart', which, like Ashlee's song is out on May 19th...I wonder what she thinks of it.
