poptimistsMight as well put all this into one huge post!
You have until midnight to vote in the Pop World Cup Group F.
Group G starts on Wednesday - which means that freakytrigger@gmail.com needs MP3s or links thereof, and team talks, from![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
braisedbywolves, darkpigeon, atommickbrane, and stevem78 - by midnight TOMORROW please!
Science research byboyofbadgers suggests that goths don't think the Cure are goth but that everyone else does. Here at any rate is the official Cure Canon:
1. In Between Days (25 votes)
2. Boys Don't Cry (23 votes)
3. The Lovecats (22 votes)
4. Close To Me (20 votes)
5. Just Live Heaven (19 votes)
6. A Forest (16 votes)
7. Friday I'm In Love (14 votes)
8=. Lullaby (10 votes)
8=. Pictures Of You (10 votes)
10. Why Can't I Be You (8 votes)
No support at all for High, A Letter To Elise, Mint Car or Taking Off. The old stuff is apparently the best.
Speaking of which, more hagiography of Guilty Pleasures. My top 3 reasons for disliking GP, in chart countdown order:
3. Residual distrust of the phrase "guilty pleasure" reinforcing a tedious hierarchy of music listening etc etc.
2. Going to their tent at Glastonbury and being a bit disappointed with the tunes on offer.
1. Intense soul-gnawing envy.
Meanwhile, you might remember Winner Stays On, designed to find the best track in the world right now, and you might also remember that there hasn't been one for ages. That's because for whatever reason doing it felt like more hassle than doing the other orgafun. Anyway instead what we're going to do is have a TRACK OF THE MONTH poll each month, so here's where you can nominate something for that:
[Poll #680984]
Simple innit!

anyone feeling guilty listening to aHa or s-club is an idiot of their own making. anyone who can't enjoy something that is "too knowing" likewise. IT DOES NOT MATTER.
bollocks to it.
