POPFITES! 13, 14, 15 and 16!

[freakytigger.livejournal.com]

Because I was too busy to do a POPFITE yesterday you get FOUR clashes today, to finish off the first round. In previous fites JARVIS won a convincing victory over CHRIS LOWE, and MICK JAGGER won out against HANK WILLIAMS.

As for today's fights, words cannot do them justice (i.e. I am starving and need to upload this and go get a sammich).


[Poll #780065]


TICK POWER!

I could understand, i dunno, a metalhead not liking r&b. But I can't understand people who like pop arbitrarily not liking a certain section of it! Bar a couple of formalisms which I can't imagine making a fundamental difference, I just don't see how pop and r&b are all that different.

I def think men-in-the-street (not to be confused with kidz-on-the-street) see a difference between "pop" and "indie" - I think it's primarily sonic though also to do with where the artist "comes from". (eg Arctic Monkeys and Magic Numbers are indie sonically, but guitar-based Kelly Clarkson is a known ex-Pop Idol so she is pop; Goldfrapp are probably thought of as pop due to sonicz too.) I mean, they WOULD see a difference between the Killers and Rachel Stevens.
