Interests are now UPDATED! Thx for all your suggestions - moderator's veto applies of course :)

IN: Dizzee, Beyonce, Black Eyed Peas, Wiley, Prince, Kid Sister, Kara DioGuardi, Ke$ha, Gabriella Cilmi, Toby Keith.

OUT: Chemical Brothers, Blur, Blossom Hill, Jethro Tull, Mr Oizo, Stardust (come on, they only had one single ever), Hooks, Uffie, Mika, Smog.

Dodgy Remixes is replaced with Shonky Bootleg Mashups, Sugababes is replaced with 'all incarnations of Sugababes'. Or perhaps I should have just left it at 'Heidi Sugababe'...

Behind the scenes there has been PLOTTING afoot for some interim orgafun, stay tuned next Tuesday for more poll action. In the meantime why not go and check out the Pop World Cup over at Freaky Trigger? The standard of matches is very high this year!

Or perhaps have a look at this (make sure you stick it out until 1.04):

Tumblr/Twitter exchange, orgafun

Things!

THING THE FIRST: I has a tumblr: http://meserach.tumblr.com/ I am given to understand that many of you also have tumblrs! We should totally follow each other and such. So, post your tumblr in the comments and I'll follow you. (I also has a twitter, and the same applies there: http://twitter.com/meserach)

THING THE SECOND: I will shortly,(hopefully later today depending on my level of amazingness) be starting a new Organised Fun thing for Poptimists which I am electing to call Theme Songs. The idea is, like when I asked you all for the best songs about telephones, we assembled, communally, a playlist of the best songs on a particular theme, e.g.

Best Songs About Creative Revenge On An Ex
Best Songs About Persuading A Person That Their Current Sexual Partner Is Inferior To Yourself

and so on and so forth.

What I am unsure about is what would be most fun to do with the playist once assembled. We can share the playlist itself around, put it on Spotify and such, but I am unsure whether it would be better to also:

a) stick all the songs in the playlist into one ticky megapoll a la all our other polls so we can vote for the "best" - this is fun obviously but also a bit vanilla and people may be ticked-out?
b) have a set up more like the League of Pop thing you guys did a while back where an individual listens to the whole list and rates the songs - this perhaps should be combined with a structure whereby the person who nominated the song which is chosen as best then gets to pick next week's theme.

So um; opinions?

NEVER KILL TIME

When I was waiting for T last night, and she was a bit delayed, i went into FOPP and ended up buying THING-FISH by FRANK ZAPPA.

I have not played it yet and cannot explain this whim. MAYBE IT WILL BE GOOD?

My resignation is on your desk.
