A Year In Pop: Week Two

[freakytigger.livejournal.com]

After last week's appetiser the chart gets back to feasting (on its young) - THIRTEEN new entries to rate and contemplate, we see now why Stevem's monthly polls were so huge. Possible points of interest include the BBC's "Sound of 07" Mika with the highest new entry, and nu-ravers The Klaxons getting their first proper hit. And of course download revolutionaries KOOPA.

[Poll #908393]

I have downloaded all of these and will give them an listen and report in the comments thread. But don't take my word for it!

Klaxons track has potential as fey sing-songy offhand quasi-lounge-reggae, but ends up as scruffy mediocrity. Probably the closest nonticker there was to a tick, but I got bored every time through, and it wasn't atmospherically pleasant during the low-volume background music test, either. Seems as if they botched something good.
