bound to be old hat to a bunch of you, but this popped up on the ipod this morning on the way to work - it livens up Clubland 12, which comes on soundling like 'Starts on 45' with limply boshed up covers and so on.

The Pop Open!

As promised, the last Round 3 Pop Open fite is here. Go get the tracks at http://freakytrigger.co.uk/ft/2008/04/pop-open-week-2525/ and vote below, or hear them at http://poptimists.muxtape.com - which also contains ALL TWELVE Round 3 tracks in mixtape form for yr enjoyment. I think both these last tracks are pretty awesome so don't miss out.

[Poll #1168256]

Thanks very much to everyone who entered the Pop Open! If there's demand, I will run a final round of it for the winners of the various Round 3 fites (who include: mackromackro, lockedintheatti, stevem78, cis and hauntedballroom). If there's not, this is it. Audio Orgafun continues at Freaky Trigger in the Europop 2008 competition, and the League Of Pop may return in the Autumn or Winter.

This week: Kemopetrol! I confess: I'm giving them a primer not because of any exceptional impact on the Finnish pop landscape -- tbh they are starting to be somewhat of a fading star, the height of their success and popularity having been early in their career -- but because of HUGE FLAMING BIAS. They're my favourite, you guys! (Well, okay, not quite. But they're in the top 5 [of domestic artists], anyway!)

And because I'm just that biased, this is Part 1 of 2:

Hopefully tomorrow, locked pt 2, in which I really let the bias run wild. :D
