The Pop Open Group F: RESULTS

[freakytigger.livejournal.com]

The first round of the Pop Open comes to an end with the religion results. We'll now take a break - I've posted the final list of qualifiers at the end of this post, and I'll post the list of who is in which Round 2 groups tomorrow, and the deadline for tracks for that.

Thanks to all who submitted tracks, and the (actually rather lower!) number of people who voted.

FIRST PLACE: Candie Payne - "By Tomorrow" - inhibitorylinks wins. (6 first-place votes, 33% of total points)

SECOND PLACE: Amy Grant - "Come, Thou Font Of Every Blessing" - justfanoe qualifies. (5 first-place votes, 25% of total points)

THIRD PLACE: Army Of Lovers - "Israelism" - umlauts qualifies. (4 first-place votes, 23% of total points)

FOURTH PLACE: Genius/GZA - "B.I.B.L.E" - zenith is OUT. (2 first-place votes, 12% of total points)

FIFTH PLACE: Me'Shell Ndegocello - "Leviticus - Faggot" - blue_russian is OUT (1 first-place vote, 6% of total points).

Inhibitorylinks gets to choose between the 80s, 60s and 50s/Before groups, and also gets to place the other two qualifiers.

( Round 1: The winners in full )

Which were your favourites?

A post about HIP-HOUSE

If "about" means "listing three records and asking you to tell me about other ones"

Jungle Brothers - What U Waiting For?
Cookie Crew - Rok Da House
Missy Elliot - 4 My People.

GO ON THEN.

And does it/can it "work" other than as an occasional "wow this is good hey" palate-cleanser?

The Pop Open Round 2: Groups & Dates

[freakytigger.livejournal.com]

I'm posting this now because I'll only forget the spreadsheet otherwise!

Tracks to leagueofpop@gmail.com please - in MP3 format if at all possible - and the deadline is September 9th, so you have a month. I'm going to try and run the groups in the order listed here.

The themes in Round 2 are also time periods: this does not necessarily mean that the songs have to date from those time periods (though obviously you're on safe ground, themewise, if they do!).

FIFTIES AND BEFORE: hauntedballroom, inhibitorylinks, martinskidmore, stevem78
SIXTIES: infov0re, skillextric, umlauts, xyzzz_
SEVENTIES: anatol_merklich, lisa_go_blind, mackromackro, mcatzilut
