Pop Open Group H: DEATH

[freakytigger.livejournal.com]

Oh Death, where is thy tick? Five tracks from beyond the veil, available to you in a bijou 20Mb Sendspace download (http://www.sendspace.com/file/rjhg2y) or streamed over at Freaky Trigger: http://freakytrigger.co.uk/ft/2007/07/pop-open-week-4/ (make sure you play each track individually - the default seems to be track 5)

As ever, you can vote for your two favourites, but only out of the tracks you didn't already know. Reveals on Thursday, and voting closes at 12 noon (UK time) next Monday.

[Poll #1014583]

Eagle-eyed players might notice that this group was originally announced as having six players, one of whom was me. I have pulled out, because I think there's a player short in Violence, so I will fill that gap instead. Just as well for me, as I'd not have won against this lot.

Thanks to this week's players: kill_yr_idols, mackromackro, mippy, poptasticuk and stevem78.

And of course...what would YOU have entered?

Sophie Ellis Bextor - Trip The Light Fantastic

I've been meaning to write about this album for weeks and weeks. The fact that I haven't yet got bored of thinking about it is probably greater praise than anything I can write below. Also the fact that I want to write about all the individual songs and why they are brilliant or dull or sound like Fleetwood Mac ('Today The Sun's On Us') or an All Saints B-side ('If You Go') or what would happen if Vince Clarke ever resurrected Yazoo ('The Distance Between Us' - NB this is AWESOME) means I should probably keep an eye on my word count before I get carried away.
