The Pop World Cup: You have until TONIGHT to vote in the final (and the third place match) of the Pop World Cup. Results announced tomorrow and handover of the 'trophy' to an agreed representative of the winning team on Friday (see below).

Poptimists Birthday Celebration: On Friday I put up a poll asking what we should do for the Poptimists first birthday celebration (it being this very week). In reverse order of popularity the suggestions were:

Purge of ideologically unsound elements: Maybe another time.

A super special Podcast: This is up to [livejournal.com profile] jauntyalan to do, if he hav time.

Booze in a London pub: As it happens I was planning to go for a beer on Friday anyway - what luck! I will announce the where of it on the day.

Some great birthday MP3s: Shhhh! Don't tell THE MAN.

And the clear winner....

A really gigantic poll: Funny you should ask! We will be running a poll ALL WEEK to discover the official Poptimists best pop star of all time. Who are our nominees? That's up to you. Please make TWO suggestions in the box below - yr first will almost definitely go in, yr second might depending on the response rate. And we need these suggestions by, say, 2pm today. So be quick about it! What qualities you value in a pop star, and indeed the stretchiness of your definition of same, are quite up to you.

[Poll #765866]

There may be other poll-based 'treats' this week if I can get away with doing them, plus no doubt a Now poll later on today as per.

A super special Podcast

but what will be special about it?

would a "winner of the NOW polls" compilation be feasible? (i.e. do you have a list, do you have all the mp3 simply to hand.

though this puts me in mind of having a separate NOWpoll podcast that will collect them all... hmmm

and 4 weeks? so with a backlog of 50 tracks, could we do 12 tracks each week (2 or 3 a day)? how easy would it be to get your hands on those mp3s?

so last question. Can the FT bandwidth take it? (2 songs a day, poor bit-rate = 7MB per day per downloader. current podcast has about 50 downloads)

If so, LET"S DO IT! OMG

I'll set up a feed, and we can bung up TWO WHOLE SONGS every day and add it to the feed EASY.

But they are all rub on their own ESP Lisa. The sum is greater than the parts! Just like Captain Planet.

I'm crossing my fingers that the obvious actual-best popstar of all time (everyone should know who surely) will get nominated by someone else.

as my PWC showing demonstrates I have a natural tendency towards high-risk tactics. sometimes they pay off, and sometimes other people (CZECH REPUBLIC) cheat.

Sudden shocking realization: Neil Tennant is not a pop star.
