Thinking about it, I really should have said 'Nice Day' not 'La Mer Enchantee' but definitely meant MGATHH, anyway. They are sort of semi-classical psycho-pop, I guess. You can quite probably hear some of it via this (http://www.morgansmusic.net) comedically over-engineered and virtually unnavigable website but don't know if it's anyone else's cup o' tea.
What struck me right off was that you could tell this was a Linda Perry song in ten seconds. And then I thought - as an example - of how much this reminded me of Pink's "Family Portrait," which I then remembered was not written by Linda Perry. But there's a sound that Linda and Pink created that Christina glommed onto. (And of course, this does sound like a whole bunch of other Perry songs: "My Vietnam," for instance.)
Tom - if the Aly & AJ seems too rawk for Poptimism there's a dance remix of it that might suit. I referred to it on the ILM Teenpop thread. It's not as good as the original, but it's pretty groovy nonetheless. I keep meaning to recommend it to jauntyalan for the podcast. I only have it on CD not as mp3 sorry.
First verse of the real "Rush" (haven't heard the remix) has electro-skitter beats, and from there the lava overflow of the song ought to be enough to propel the dancers, I'd think.
SONGS DJ Webstar & Young B - "Chicken Noodle Soup" Cast of High School Musical - "Getcha Head In The Game" Hot Chip - "Colours"
CEEDEEs M2M - Shades of Purple
I-F Mixed Up In The Hague Vol.1 Reissue of seminal electro/italo disco mix from 1999 (that year again!). Stunningly good from beginning to end.
ELO 30th anniversary reissues: Face The Music and A New World Record The latter is ELO's greatest record, I think. Oddly, I've never owned a copy of this until now, although I used to have a lo-fi pirate copy of most of the songs on cassette. One song which, bafflingly (with hindsight), I didn't bother to tape is "So Fine". The clue is in the title!
I want to put in a good word for Nelly Furtado's "No Hay Igual," which she streams on her MySpace page. Better than "Promiscuous" and "Maneater." Flashing percussion, quick flicks of light, Seurat into Van Gogh.
