CAGEY ECUADOR HOLD OFF TRINIDAD

Pop World Cup Halftime Score

Trinidad and Tobago 0 Ecuador 0

The Ecuador-Trinidad clash is scoreless at half-time after a frustrating first half where these two sides cancelled one another out. Ecuador defended well and their cultured midfielders probed for openings but despite their good build-up work it's been Trinidad who have had the better chances.

In truth this has been a drab affair so far, not helped by the near-empty stadium, with several fans arriving late having been delayed by a cavalcade of Organised Fun which stole much of the world cup's thunder. Fans are still arriving though and it's to be hoped that the second half provides better entertainment. "When are the pan pipe blokes on?" asked one.

(In other words, get yourself here and VOTE! That's the last time I put a PWC match on a Friday...)

Don't Stop Moving

Hallo

Thanks to all who came to Don't Stop Moving on Friday night. Good to meet some new people and to say hello to some chums as well. Hope you all had a good time. Sorry I didn't own any Scooter!

I'm going to be playing an hour of all-girl hiphop, pop, rnb, soul things this Saturday at Soul Mole, if you fancy something to do on Saturday. I mean, you should go anyway, not just cos I'm going to be there. I still won't be playing Scooter, though.

Bye!

Angel.

The Month In POP

[freakytigger.livejournal.com]

I should have done this at the weekend but I was in too bad a mood. It's the end of the month, hence it's time for the track ov the month poll again, except last time so many people said "Maneater" that there wasn't even a poll, it just won by fiat. But maybe this month will be different, yes different. What I want you to do is name the best new thing, and by thing I probably mean 'track', but name an album if you really feel you have to, and by new I really mean 'new to you', but you're all "clued-up" so it'll probably be new to the WORLD too, right, ANYWAY name the best new thing you heard last month.

[Poll #703215]

That's rock'n'roll, man.

The History Of Pop Part 34 aka We got G like MC who Likes It On An E

[freakytigger.livejournal.com]

The poorly-received Now 33 throws up a winner in the form of Terrorvision Pulp - but only by one vote this time from Saint Etienne, then Luniz-Lush-Dubstar in that order. Much anger aimed at Wasis and Cast, and the best Radiohead song seems to be "Just", which is a bit of a shocker.

And now it's ALL CHANGE on Now 34 - this is the first Now that feels 'modern' to me, except I suppose it doesn't now, as the 'era' (in my head) that "Wannabe" kicked off came to an end...when? Well that's another question. Meanwhile - first Spices! first solo Robbie! Peter Andre! Underworld! 2Pac! The riotous return of the do-you-see track sequencer! AND LOTS MORE! Including some real stinkers too, naturally.
