The history of pop part 60 aka Look at your watch girl

[freakytigger.livejournal.com]

The controversial Now 60 brings us into 2005. Controversial? Apparently so as the official Now site DOES NOT LIST ITS DETAILS. Looking at the tracklist you might - well I might - say it's not a vintage comp, but there's enough chewy material here to provide some good comments box sport.

"Love Machine" was Girls Aloud's first winner after several near misses - it won by 11 ticks over its nearest Scissor-shaped rivals. And "Some Girls" beat "Hey Ya" in the play-offs for Now 58.

My Bloc Party appreciation is well-documented and this is their best song, mostly for the build and release over the last minute or so. It reminds me of shimmery minimal house in this regard.

Have you heard the version from the remix album? It makes the build and release bit work even better.

Where is the Lex anyway? I'm sure he'd have 'things' to 'say' about this Now.

Message from the Lex - he's stuck in a power cut. 'Somebody Told Me' is comfortably beating 'Goodies' and he's not here to throw a hissy fit :(

Actually, his response is WHAT THE FUCK?! KILL THEM ALL!!!

Mostly because I lied and told him Ciara was also trailing to Dakota.

I notice that a Now poll without the Lex has about half the comments of a Now poll with.

All but 13 (13! THIRFUCKINGTEEN!) of the people who have taken part in this TRAVESTY of a poll have rescinded their right to be called poptimists, and should at least DEFEND themselves.

See what you lot get up to when I'm not here.

Please play 'Goodies' (or other/all Ciara) at Poptimism to make up for this :(
