Poptimist Snapshot

Pop World Cup: There will be NO PWC match this week, this is because of a number of things, partly me being really busy, partly some format fiddling. So next Monday we will have TWO matches, and the week afer we will have another TWO. This means that I need MP3s from julietk and cis by this weekend, and MP3s from atommickbrane, katstevens, stevem78 and juror8 by NEXT weekend. There!



So in lieu of other orgafun let's take a quick look at the state of the Poptimist nation, April 25th 2006. I was going to do these questions as a poll but actually, it makes much more sense to just list 'em and you can put yr answers in the comments.

1/ What was the last piece of music you bought?
2/ Was it any good?
3/ What was the first piece of music you ever bought?
4/ Is it still any good?
5/ What was the last gig/show you went to, and when?
6/ Tell us a record that people who know you would be surprised you like?
7/ Tell us a current record that you hate?
8/ If a casual acquaintance asks you what sort of music you listen to, what do you actually say?
9/ Tell us something you want to hear but haven't got around to yet?
10/ What are you listening to RIGHT NOW?

GOLEO SAYS TALK!

1/ It was the 7" of "The Operator" by Barbara Morgenstern... a week before Jel posted the mp3 link on sukrat. Curses ;)
2/ I LOVE IT! IT GO BLEEP!
3/ The first thing I can remember buying was the 7" of "Tarzan Boy" by Baltimora, from a neighbour who was selling it for like 10p or something... the first thing I remember buying in an actual SHOP was an A-Ha single, or perhaps a Kylie or Roxette album.
4/ All of the above are still ace, obv.
5/ The last gig I went to was the Fortuna Pop! all dayer at the Brixton Windmill last Monday; bands included The Loves, The Chemistry Experiment, Finlay, Fanfarlo and my very own lovely Silver Springs. I did rather enjoy it.
6/ "Dakota" by the Stereophonics is a Stereophonics song that doesn't make me turn off the radio when it comes on. It kind of reminds me of Tom Petty. I like some Tom Petty stuff too.
7/ Anything by the Arctic C0cking Monkeys.
8/ "Indie. Well, not chart indie, not like Coldplay and that... kind of louder stuff, like the Pixies. And bleepy electronic music. Have you heard of Orbital" etc etc etc...
9/ MORE by DJ Koze, after he cancelled at Fabric the other night.
10/ Rio (the album) by Duran Duran - am up to "Lonely In Your Nightmare"
