The Lex 20p Indie Prize Was Won By...

[freakytigger.livejournal.com]

THE AUTOMATIC. I much enjoyed seeing Matt DC chase a visibly shaken Lex around the dancefloor wielding the sacred twenty pence piece.

Actually the Automatic should not have won according to the voting, but I lost my CD with Lallen and the Pipettes on and have never knowingly owned a Camera Obscura record, so they got it - also "Monster" turned out to rock the Poptimism house so they are worthy winners.

The votes in full:

Kasabian: minus 17 points.
Test Icicles: 4 points
Feeling: 8 points
The Guillemots: 13 points
Kooks: 16 points
Young Knives: 22 points
Automatic: 27 points, WINNER
Pipettes: 31 points
Camera Obscura: 34 points
Lily Allen: 35 points

MYSTERIES OF POP - Part 1

[katstevens.livejournal.com]

The first of a new series where Kat dons her deerstalker and sets to solving the unexplained phenomena from the pop archives. This week...

Where Is Lisa Stansfield's Baby?

This tragic case has remained unsolved for almost seventeen years, leaving Ms Stansfield "oh oh so sad" and "a-crying". The whereabouts of Rochdale's premier popstar's offspring have never been discovered, despite Lisa scouring every corner of the globe with the aid of Willy Fogg and his cat butler Rigadon (the leading experts in global circumnavigation at the time).

The circumstances surrounding the disappearance were intially deemed suspicious - Ms Stansfield's method of annoucing the kidnapping being highly unorthodox, choosing the medium of song rather than the standard police press conference. Also, the melodic statement itself was of questionable accuracy: in the recording Ms Stansfield repeatedly claims that she "don't know why he's gone away", yet in the second verse she mentions that "he gave the reason, the reasons he should go". These reasons have never been made public, but it now seems likely that the infant in question would have been too young to enter into a reliable dialogue with his mother, hence this contradiction was discounted and Ms Stansfield cleared of any suspected foul play.

The case has recently been re-opened in light of new evidence: in 1997 talented girl-band All Saints claimed to "know where it's at" without making specific reference to the nature of "it". However after a thorough analysis of their entire lyrical output, the high occurence of the word "baby" in the same song (no less than seven repetitions) gave the authorities reason to believe that the girls were in possession of vital information, with particular reference to their urgent closing statement "if you know that you wanna get down there". Could the Stansfield child be hidden in a secret underground lair? This theory was given greater weight after known criminal Jay Kay From Jamiroquai mysteriously went "deeper underground" the following year, perhaps to search for the child.
Fortunately, All Saints have now emerged from hiding and appear willing to aid the investigation; however after appearing in ill-fated sequel Journey To The Centre Of The Earth Willy Fogg and Rigadon are unsurprisingly reluctant to join the subterranean search party.

Have you seen Lisa Stansfield's baby? Remember the child will be in his late teens by now, and may have adopted a different identity. Police have made public the following approximated photo-fit to aid the search. You may receive a reward.
