League Of Pop: THE FINAL

[freakytigger.livejournal.com]

OK, here's how this works:

1. Download this 25 Mb zipfile: http://www.sendspace.com/file/h96dqj

2. Listen to the tracks. Decide which you think are the two best ones.

3. Tomorrow I will post a poll and you can vote in it.

4. You can comment here or on the poll.

5. PLAYERS: Please do not reveal which track is yours!

Question: is 25Mb too much for a single download? I need to know for the Pop Open - if necessary I can cap the bitrates at 192 and keep the totals down that way.

Pop Open: 17 out of 41 tracks in - no single group filled as yet! Keep them coming!

The Ultimate Poptimist movie?

Mischa Barton will star in Roland Joffe's Russian coming-of-age drama "Finding t.A.T.u," which starts shooting in Moscow later this month.

The movie is adapted from the novel "t.A.T.u come back" by Russian writer A. Mitrofanov.

Set against a background of music, Internet chatrooms and hedonistic Russian nightlife, it's the story of a lonely American teenager in Moscow who becomes friends with a local girl over their shared obsession with pop band t.A.T.u.

Other Ears

Does anyone else get that thing where they play a record they like to someone, actually physically with someone there in the room, and there's a silence while it plays, maybe a look of mild scepticism on the other person's face, and during the silence you find yourself listening with their ears and suddenly everything that MIGHT be lame or weak or crappy about the music is REALLY OBVIOUS to you?
