[Poll #1049325]

Due to having excessive time on my hands and not wanting to actually start tidying/packing for another few days at the very least, I have hunted down YouTubes of all of the above:
James Blunt
Elvis
Scouting For Girls
Natalie Imbruglia
Reverend and The Makers [poss. not work safe]
Maroon 5 [also poss. not work safe]
The Twang
Armand Van Helden

The month in pop: August

[Poll #1049383]
Remember 'new' is open to interpretation (p.s. I heard some Pat Benatar for the first time yesterday and it was decidedly average).

Other questions: Has this been a good summer for pop? Is it better or worse than last summer? Has the rubbish weather made a difference? What is your favourite pop 'season'?

why did no one tell me about this?

The bloody single's out, like, now, which means the Girls Aloud 'Sexy No No No' video must have been doing the rounds for ages, and I only just stumbled on it by chance today!

Best thing = FINALLY someone in British pop has realised that EXPENSIVE = good. That is maybe the least cheap video I have ever seen from a British pop act. Seriously, well done. It is also rather Missy/Björk circa a decade ago but let's not hold that against them.
