SHEEE-YEENE POLL #1 aka will there be another breakdown?

[atommickbrane.livejournal.com]

The Now polls are all good and proper, aren't they? But surely, around the time of Now 29, Now 30, a new breed of compilation entered the arena. Taking as it's theme the indie big hitters from the Now Polls, the mighty SHINE series catered to a growing crowd of kids who were reading about a new thing called "britpop" in Smash Hits. If you ask me, SH! always seemed rather obsessed with Damon All-Bran's TIBETAN LOVE BEAD necklace. Ew.

Aren't Jarvis and his Pulps just going to win all of these? I guess the litmus test will be if something sh1te like "Help The Aged" can win (against the might of BENNET)

Pulp will appear ELEVEN TIMES in the Shine polls, fact fans.

"Little Soul" is on Shine 10 - anyone? Anyone?

[beingjdc.livejournal.com]

You do have to wonder what that was doing on Pulp's Greatest Hits collection. It still deserved to chart higher than number 22 though. Maybe if they'd released the Lafayette Velvet Revisited "loungecore" mix.

I rly like "A Little Soul"! - it's the handclaps innit.

[carsmilesteve.livejournal.com]

and the rly simple, yet effective guitar line.

everybody's telling me
you look like me
pleeeeease don't turn into me

etcetc

Yeah. That is the problem with the 'any good' criteria - consensus wins out, and no nindiest ever hates Pulp. It is like the first law of nindie or summat.

i am rigorously voting against pulp at all opportunities HE WAGGED HIS ARSE AT WACKO = he must go you decide

[marnameow.livejournal.com]

Actually, I am tempted to vote against Pulp just to upset beingjdc-who-loves-Jarvis.

[beingjdc.livejournal.com]

Wolfe Tones FTW!

[atommickbrane.livejournal.com]

Wozzat?

[boyofbadgers.livejournal.com]

Irish Republican folk band. JDC and others fixed a BBC poll so that they won best song ever.

[beingjdc.livejournal.com]

The Wolfe Tones are Marna's Favourite Irish Indie Band.

They'll certainly keep getting my vote, and little else will. Unless people start with tactical voting I would imagine the run of singles before Help The Aged are all very strong contenders.

[plumsbitch.livejournal.com]

I should damn well hope so.

God, so much of the above is HIDEOUS.
