The Month In POP

Thought I'd take the initiative seeing as it's the end of the month and all. Double bonus month feature!

The Phoenix track is quite good, but f I try to limit myself to "new in April/May" iTunes offers no easy answers to this question. My actual top track is unquestionably the Peel Sessions version of "Come Out 2Nite," which is new to me but probably no one else. Similarly Oceans Apart by the Go-Betweens, who I had never paid attention to until McLennan's died.

"the lindberg palace remix of fall out boy's 'dance, dance'"

YSI?

My ACTUAL Pop answer...

...is probably Nelly Furtado's 'Promiscuous Girl'

I was torn between the track I cited and the new singles by LL Cool J/J-Lo and Mary J. Blige. Hang on, also, was Prince's Black Sweat April?

I just got the Ellen Allien & Apparat album yesterday, and that might well end up becoming the best thing I heard in May...

Everyone who loves the raving should check out the Carl Craig rmx of 'Revelée' by Delia Gonzalez & Gavin Russom - it's like 11 minutes or something silly like that, the first three minutes are beatless building up, next three still more building up, and then WHRRRM WHRRRM BEEP BEEP! The riff reminds me a little of the 'Silent Shout' arpeggios.

koganbot, surely not teh Girl Authority?! It's hard to tell whether the small children in the band or the small children that get the CDs bought for them are being worse abused.

I answered the poll by saying Scritti, but that's cos I just heard it for first time and it's awesome. Ellen & Ap or Scott W would be the other contenders for April/May's best.
