Poptimism

Thanks to all who came along to Poptimism, and sorry for the earlier cut-off (right in the middle of "Missing You" by John Waite!) - I had a good time though and I hope you all did too.

This Poptimism will be remembered as the Night of the Dancefloor Killer - Carsmile playing My Chemical Romance and me and Tim playing Chely Wright both proved brutally effective at sending people back to their chairs!

The next one is on NOVEMBER 10TH, which is a FRIDAY. We will be playing only NUMBER ONE UK HIT SINGLES. It will be my LAST STAND as a regular Poptimism DJ (until some point next spring, hopefully).

We also now have a well-stocked waiting list for guest DJs once again - hurrah!

The Friday Canon: DAME DAVID BOWIE

What a lot of singles David Bowie has had! But which are the best? This week's instalment of the canon polls casts a spotlight on the mysterious Pierrot of Pop through the prism of his Top 40 hits, including collaborations and....side projects.

You get NINETEEN ticks to sum up Bowie's style-spanning career.
