Summer's here so where are the JAMS?

I'm pretty sure "Umbrella" had leaked by this point last year?

And this year it might actually be hot! - BRING ON THE SUMMAR HITS! What's upcoming? Has anything been hinted at yet? What about from the spring's album crop?

Filly - Sweat (Drip Drop Song)

[katstevens.livejournal.com]

Filly is 19, and is firmly planting herself on MTV Base as we speak. If we're going to have a hot summer then we'll need an appropriate soundtrack, after all. Stick with the song till at least 2 min 15...

Two links from Freaky Trigger:

The fifth "10/10" given on Popular: traditionally when I give a 10 I go for a beer, but I'm going for a beer later this week anyway.

Europop 2008: Group A Finale - the Europop 2008 tournament we're running on FT is reaching the end of its first stage, with the 16 teams being whittled down to eight. Four tracks to vote on - novelty reggae-pop from Switzerland, snarly dance-pop from Turkey, melodic and delicate pomp from the Czechs and an electronic vignette from Portugal. (The Spain v Sweden match is still open for votes, too.)

"A great jumping on point for new readers" as they say in the trade. We now return you to your regular Summer Jamz!

how often should your "favourite record" change?

[dubdobdee.livejournal.com]

the lex has a (pro forma) go at peelie over on FT for having the same favourite single for 20-odd years -- viz "teenage kicks" (peel was 41 i think whe he heard this record)

anyway, it raises a question or three

i: how often does YOUR favourite record change?
ii: how often SHOULD your favourite record change?
iii: once you get past age [x] it is odd nay weird if your favourite record carries on changing every day/week/year <--- what for you is value [x], in ref.day/week/year respectively
