In case you missed it, Pitchfork tackled the (import-only) greatest hits comps of Girls Aloud and Sugababes in a single bound today. kfan calls it "probably the most important review of the year," and I'm not inclined to disagree. Read it here.

All this on a day when the New Statesman publishes an interview with the Girls, who come out as pro-tax and pro-NHS and anti-WAG (despite the marriage to Ashley Cole and all). My favorite quote is from Cheryl: "Politicians know that we get listened to by more young fans than they do. That's why David Cameron said he fancied me. He was just trying to be cool. I bet he couldn't name a single song of ours. Do I fancy him? No! Politicians should stop trying to be cool and get on with running the country."

Delightful.
