Pop Star War Fites 5 and 6

[freakytigger.livejournal.com]

Back to the "greatest pop star tournament" - who will join Prince and Elvis in round 2? Here we find an 80s icon pitted against the indie face of Girls Aloud, and a dead star versus a career-dead one? Easy choices - or will a surprise be sprung?

ONLY THE POP SURVIVE.

This post was inspired by hearing Midnight Train To Georgia in a taxi last night

I don't have create-o-poll-ability due to spending all my money on houmous and camera film. But someone who does really ought to do one for one of those Valentine's type compilations, or one endorsed by Steve '90% pre-recorded, I need space to drive the desk' Wright. I think the rubbishness quotient needs determining...

I tend to sleep with the radio on so wake up to the quacking voice of Wright talking hil-ar-iously over the trails more times than I'd prefer. On the other hand, waking up to Brian Matthews (not literally, arf) is a good way to start a Saturday, I reckon.

...is a page for club night Poptimism. Of course we already have a page for club night Poptimism, and of course the MySpace URL is kind of confusing (the more obvious one was taken by a "wannabe indie" Swedish girl, very aptly), but HEY, I think it was about time I embraced the amazing networking power of MySpace.

So if you want to add it, or whatever it is you do, then do.

I'll put up band lists etc, probably...

The History Of Pop Part 58 aka All I seem to get is the other other

[freakytigger.livejournal.com]

Let's pause a moment to reflect on Now 57, which saw our second ever 100% vote - for "Toxic" - and also the highest ever percentage score for a non-winner ("Milkshake"). We will not see its like again. Probably.

And now for Now 58 - also packed with fine tracks, with attention surely resting on the debut of Kristian Leontiou the SONG THAT BROKE THE INTERWEB, Outkast's "Ha Yeah". Included somewhat late on this Now poll, which otherwise celebrates the summer of '94. Let's see what you think about it.
