The History Of Pop Part 57 aka I could teach you, but I'd have to charge

[freakytigger.livejournal.com]

The titanic clash that was the Now 56 poll is NOT OVER YET, with Beyonce and Rachel Stevens slugging it out in a tie breaker. Meanwhile Now 57 also has its share of modern giants, as well as debut appearances by Keane, Snow Patrol, Joss Stone and the RETURN OF INDIE (ok ok it never left).

Click below the cut if you want a chance at sorting it all out.

Speaking of which, will the Focus Groups ever return?

[freakytigger.livejournal.com]

They seem kind of irrelevant in a world which contains the weekly Stylus jukebox. Who knows though, they were good fun to do.

The jukebox is fun, BUT!

1. It contains INDIE KIDS.
2. Sometimes, first impressions overrate songs.
3. It contains INDIE KIDS.

Seriously, four months down the track is an ideal time to work out if you still love an pop song, I'd love them to return.

yes I agree - it gives the song time to sink into one's own consciousness as well, and even if your feelings don't change all that much, you'll be better able to articulate the whys and wherefores of them four months on.

Yes, but you won't after the amount of booze consumed during the average Focus Group.

[alexmacpherson.livejournal.com]

Yes but presence of booze is more important than critical faculties anyway. Booze = FUN. Also I have never done one of these so can we do it FOR ME?!

Also they are MUCH EASIER TO DO with the LJ format, of course.
