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/ What was the last piece of music you bought?
Luciano's Sci-Fi-Hi-Fi 2 mix on Soma.

2/ Was it any good?
Yes! Top quality fluffy microtech.

3/ What was the first piece of music you ever bought?
I honestly can't remember! First 'proper' album possibly Joshua Tree (I was a relatively late starter). Or maybe even Whitesnake's 1987 of all things. There were odd singles and Now comps and the like before then. Come to think of it, it might have been the original Do They Know It's Christmas.

4/ Is it still any good?
No, not really. Though I still like some U2.

5/ What was the last gig/show you went to, and when?
Last night, to see Double G and the Traitorous 3 (plus 2). It was ace, very much looking forward to the the new album.

6/ Tell us a record that people who know you would be surprised you like?
I dunno, I'm fairly public about my tastes. Maybe Pink Floyd's Meddle album?

7/ Tell us a current record that you hate?
The Fall Out Boy single I saw on Saturday telly was truly rotten.

8/ If a casual acquaintance asks you what sort of music you listen to, what do you actually say?
Lots of things, old indie, pop, house and techno, got back into metal recently, folky stuff, bits of hip hop.

9/ Tell us something you want to hear but haven't got around to yet?
The new Ellen Allien + Apparat Album.

10/ What are you listening to RIGHT NOW?
New FADS - A Man Without Qualities
