Poptimism Redefined

[freakytigger.livejournal.com]

Time for a change on the info page, specifically the 'Poptimism is...' section. The format was the same - ten of you finished the sentence with whatever or whoever or however you liked, and your definitions go (anonymously) on the front page. If you missed this poll - better luck next time!

Poptimism is...optimism about pop.
Poptimism is...WINE then BED then MORE then AGAIN
Poptimism is...Jorge Goulart - "Mundo de Zinco"
Poptimism is...kneesocks (except in summer)
Poptimism is...The Automatic - "Monster"
Poptimism is...the pet shop boys.
Poptimism is...slave to the rhythm.
Poptimism is...the entirety of S-Express' "Hey Music Lover"
Poptimism is...waking up with LL Cool J and J-Lo in your head!
Poptimism is...telling your MOTHER telling your BROTHERS telling your SISTERS telling your FRIENDS; telling the OTHERS, all your LOVERS, both PAST AND PRESENT TENSE

Very briefly - like for 30 seconds - there was another version of this poll up which was viewable to all. If you answered that one - and you probably didn't - you might want to answer again and make sure!

bah you changed it so my joke doesn't work! (ie from "means" to "is")

[freakytigger.livejournal.com]

Want me to leave it out?

I don't understand this joke!

(yay xtina yay xtina yay xtina)

This is a more summery selection I feel.

I am happy about the lack of Feeder, but I am suspicious of this Automatic thing - I have never heard of it/them but the name sounds ominously indie.

it is about al gore

[freakytigger.livejournal.com]

It is boshing summer haircut indie, you still wouldn't like it though.

And LLCJ+JL got in there! Smashing.

Between the name and the song, I assumed they were an R.E.M. tribute band.

[katstevens.livejournal.com]

I've still not heard it - candidate for next podcast perhaps?

[dubdobdee.livejournal.com]

yes there was much komikal backpedalling last night when the VERY OBVIOUS REM link was pointed out!

it sez "monster" = haha it is beyond brill OH WAIT OH NOES

[sbp.livejournal.com]

I win! :-)

I really like it - proper big chorus - but I am worried that endorsing these first singles by four blokes like this can lead to tears and regret later, when they either a) release many many many singles-worth of bilge which are omniprescently played on radio and in indie discos, and/or b) turn out to share views with the Daily Mail.

SHARES CAN GO DOWN AS WELL AS UP :(

[braisedbywolves.livejournal.com]

Automagically?

Poptimism is that time in the mid-Eighties when L.L. Cool J and Lisa Lisa and Cult Jam were one-two on the Billboard Hot 100, making for History's only moment of double LLCJ dominance.
