Happy birthday Poptimists! Details of celebrations TBA...

Time for a front-page poll. The usual routine: first ten replies go up on the front page, then the poll vanishes.

Poptimism is...A club night on the 29th July in London
Poptimism is...1 year old.
Poptimism is...believing in magic
Poptimism is...never having to say you're Tori
Poptimism is...never having to say your indie
Poptimism is...Toxic beating Milkshake
Poptimism is...Paris Hilton and all she stands for
Poptimism is...a NATIONAL DISGRACE
Poptimism is...indieism about pop ";-)"
Poptimism is...the top down and the system up!

Poptimist Birthday Drinkies

HOORAY! It's poptimists first birthday drinks!

HOORAY! Top indie band Shimura Curves are playing Upstairs At The Garage tonight!

The qn is, can these two Hooray!s peacefully co-exist, i.e. are enough people planning on going to see the Muries that it would be worth having the drinks in Islington, or should we go somewhere less Northern and fans of the Shimmies can pop in and then move on?

I have chosen NOT to express this dilemma in poll form, but if you were planning on coming out and having a poptimist drink tonight then let me know in the comments box where you'd like it and I'll make a decision after lunch.

(Also I've realised I know zero about pubs in that bit of Islington.)

Right, nobody actually said "I won't come if it's near Highbury and Islington", so here we have it:

The Bailey, on Holloway Road. See some of you there later, I hope.

How many of you remember APACHE INDIAN?

How many of you would like to read about the impact of APACHE and his friends on our culture?

My mate got to do this for his MA dissertation.

I'd like to put a link on freakytrigger.co.uk to the Poptimism World Cup results page. the page includes links to all participants' LiveJournals though, so if anybody would rather not have their LJ linked to from freakytrigger.co.uk let me know in comments or by e-mail and I'll remove the according link(s). Thanks.

TIME TO ROCK

[freakytigger.livejournal.com]

Welcome to the first of our occasional special guest polls - in this case awesomewells was caught not in possession of a paid account, and wanted to canvas the views of the assembled poptimists on the subject of ROCK.

But how to define rock? He naturally chose The Best Rock Album In The World...Ever, which surely by Trades Description science collects together only the finest examples of ROCK, which will be submitted to Any Good At All science.

How rock are poptimists? LET'S FIND OUT!

( THE DAY OF ROCKONING )

NB this album came out in 1994 which is why it does not have LORDI et al. on it.
