A Year In Pop: 38

[freakytigger.livejournal.com]

JEBUS Poptimists has been quiet this week - this is what happens when Kat's away and I'm ill. But now it's back back etc with a Year In Pop which livens up a little towards the back end with the electro-rock new Sugababes single and the debut of Feist, who seems to be a regular on the Poptimists last.fm lists but who I have never heard, until shortly... after.... posting.... this....

As for Elvis, he said it, not me.

There was a time, a couple of years ago, when a new GA and a new Sugababes single within a week or two of one another would have caused mass fizzing and rejoicement among the "online pop community". No longer it seems - "Sexy No No No" got a warm but not really thrilled reaction and "About You Now" seems to have snuck out without much trace.

This is maybe grist to thenipper's theory (sassy early-mid 00s pop has been superseded by Allen/Nash/Harris indiefied pop (Amy W. now seems a difft. k of f)) but what ARE you getting excited about at the moment? What are you looking forward to, o Poptimists?

(&, as importantly, what do you see other people getting excited about?)
