[freakytigger.livejournal.com]

The Poptimists End of Year polls kick off with the unimportant, but still intriguing, category of Album of the Year. Thankyou for your nominations, which have been distilled to a shortlist (by the scientific means of "most mentioned") as follows:

Paris Hilton - Paris: The year's most controversial release - frothy R&B-pop from the heiress-turned-renaissance-woman.
Ellen Allien & Apparat - Orchestra Of Bubbles: Luscious electronic pop and atmospherics from German boffinette and henchbeing.
The Knife - Silent Shout: Shrieksome electro artpop from Scandinavia.
Marit Larsen - Under The Surface: Scando singing-songwriting popstrel spans country, twee and Euro-pop.
Beyonce - B-Day: Quickly recorded relationship dissections from the reigning queenbot of R&B.

You, the Poptimists Voting Academy, can grace ONE of these with your tick. Do so!

[Poll #891029]

Re: Tom, Please Vote For The Paris Album In Jackin' Pop and Pazz & Jop

I remember that back when I had only heard 'Be Mine' and 'Who's That Girl?', I was 100% pro-Robyn; now, I can't even listen to those songs, it's one of those cases where once you realise what the weaknesses are you can't ignore them. I can safely say that I loathe everything about Robyn now, including what I used to love. And it's not just because of the race hate aspect to some of her fans. She infuriates me because she's just NOT GOOD ENOUGH.

I'll never get your Robyn hate.

Have you heard 'With Every Heartbeat' yet? If it was anyone else I'm sure you'd love it. Maybe you'll love it anyway.
