The History Of Pop Part 62 aka Thanks to you now I get what I want

[freakytigger.livejournal.com]

Now 62 brings us almost up to date - when we started the Now polls this was the most current Now album available. Since then there have been two more, which we'll deal with next week, and then that's yer lot. Now 62 has plenty of meat on it, unlike the last one, which has yielded our lowest-rating winner ever, with only 60% tickys. And that winner is...either Gorillaz or Rachel Stevens. When I did this poll I didn't know it was a draw, though, so the tie-breaker question will be on a separate poll, probably bunged on the end of a POPFITE. Sorry about that!

nah, that's what I thought at first as well because it's not the BOOM that 'Freak Like Me' was, but the melody just zigzags everywhere and the production froths and fizzes and it really is bliss. A really good dancefloor filler too - it pwned that winter.

i liken it to Sheena Easton's '9 To 5 (Morning Train)' for some reason

it's the kind of great pop which reminds me of loads of things at the same time - 'Last Christmas', the DJ Koze remix of 'Hot Love', the froth off the top of 'Milkshake' - but sounds like none of them.

I think I just quoted my own review of it verbatim.
