Monday Round-Up

[freakytigger.livejournal.com]

Poptimists will be a bit quieter from tomorrow cos I'm going to France for a week - obviously this should not prevent many of the rest of you filling the space with joyful noises, polls, etc.

Germany vs England in the Pop World Cup - vote by TONIGHT. I'll do the result tomorrow before I go and then there's a wait of a week until Trinidad vs Ecuador - can the managers of those fine nations send me their MP3s in the meantime?

Now when you're asked Kylie's best song, you can answer in total confidence.

1. Better The Devil You Know (30 votes)
2. Can't Get You Out Of My Head (28)
3. Spinning Around (25) (this one is actually not true, surely!)
4. Confide In Me (23)
5. I Should Be So Lucky (22)
6. Hand On Your Heart (18)
7. Come Into My World (17)
8. Step Back In Time (16)
9=. Shocked (15)
9=. I Believe In You (15)

"If You Were With Me Now" is the only Kylie not to get a single vote.

Oh the hilarity

Chart History Shocker!: people like opera. (Also note the return of the 'climber' to the singles chart, k-blimey, it is Orson what nobody knew in the pop quiz lyrics round). Anyway, opera eh?

I think I wrote up being dragged to one by my then-girlfriend last June or so, didn't I? Anyway, I absolutely hated it.

b-but opera is like marvel comics set to music!

(ie the complete essential [---] vols i-x which you must read in one sitting)

(except for wagner who is the complete essential thor vols i-mxm)

There's a 20-issues-or-so Thor storyline somewhere like 270-290 I think which is an unbelievably tedious Wagner adaptation. Otherwise I can see no sense in your comparison.
