The best two records in the world this week

[awesomewells.livejournal.com]

I suspect this will be somewhat overshadowed by Justin but I'll post it anyway because of the excitement of Alan Braxe making a trance record! Well, it's a remix of a tune by someone called John Lord Fonda of whom I know nothing about but its a gorgeous filtered French take on proper 90s hands-in-the-air chart trance. Hooray.

Meanwhile you get an ADDITIONAL BONUS TRACK this week. Van She - Kelly doesn't merit its own post because it's already appeared in the podcast, but it's still my favourite record of the year so I thought I'd give it to you in its entirety. It sounds like the soundtrack to a film about Californian teenagers in a mall in 1987. Which of course it is supposed to.

JUDGE POP Returns

[freakytigger.livejournal.com]

We welcome back JUDGE POP from a hard week patrolling the mean streets of Mega-City Pop, with only his six types of bullet standing between him and a host of lawbreaking perps.

Some of Judge Pop's cases - such as the return of Cud - are easily solved. Others present a stiffer test. Take imminent No.1 chirpstress Lily Allen, for example. Keith Allen's daughter playing pop-ska and singing about smiling - the saviour of the summer or an apalling musical crime. Judge Pop needs YOUR help in deciding!
