Advent Calendar Catch-Up

Erm yes, I fell at the first weekend hurdle, but let's pretend I posted this yesterday eh?

Two doors at once open on the Poptimists Advent Calendar and the same smiling face sits behind both...

( Who can it be? Who? )

Today's advent calendar door, featuring a ghastly predicament for Mr S Claus, will be posted later on, after the Now poll.

My Chemical Romance

What do you think of the Gurls Aloud alBUM then? Here's what I think: Chemistry thorts.

Classical music unites with GRIME! I am confident that the 70 minute suite will equal, maybe even surpass, "Mother" by Goldie.

Chico silenced: I ended up watching quite a lot of TV with 'her indoors' on Saturday night including the X-Factor. WHAT A SHOWER. On the other hand when a man who does the Timewarp immediately gets the boot one knows there is still some righteousness in the world.

And it's probably time to talk about the JCB song, isn't it?

Is anyone surprised to learn that La Bush and "Running Up That Hill" won the Now 6 poll? With 100% approval? Leaving poor old Eurythmics trailing behind, and Jan Hammer even further behind? No, I thought not. This one might be a little more open - or maybe not. Wooden spoon goes to MARILLION who found not one defender and are banished forever to sukrat town. The scientific community remain divided on when Queen got rubbish though the weight of opinion suggests a little after 1986: watch future polls for further developments.

Genre segregation in full swing here and I've included the major scientific advance of "NONE OF THE ABOVE" votes at the end of each section of the poll-busting 33 songs, which should make the percentages a little clearer. Look out for a sudden acknowledgement of hip-hop, for the first appearances of SAW, A-Ha and the PSB, for Amazulu's posterity-baiting song title, for parentheses a go-go. And UB40 feature AGAIN.

On, boldly into 1986 we go!

Poptimists Advent Calendar Day 5

Chimneys: small.

Santa: not small.

That's the situation discussed behind this particular door, which I'm sneaking in now just before the day ends.
