A Year In Pop: Week 4

[freakytigger.livejournal.com]

Mika still #1, "Exceeder" in the Top 3, young person's indie music as far as the eye can see, and what's that coming over the hill? Is it an emo?

[Poll #916901]

Next week we'll do the first monthly roundup poll - how exciting eh?

In other orgafun news: We have enough league of pop entrants, I will start the ball rolling on this one soon, tomorrow maybe. I need to write the rules!

The last four qualifiers for the Jop poll: Sinead, Pixies, ODB, Salt N Pepa. The first round proper kicks off at lunchtime.

*puts hands up as the person who ticked Bloc Party*

ok, ok... to be fair... it's not as good as anything off their last album. And the first time I heard it I wasnt impressed at all. So I probably shouldn't have ticked it.... but a couple of weeks ago I was at work, having a dull day and listening to the radio through headphones and it suddenly seemed AMAZING and made me feel all awake all of a sudden. But it hasn't done the same again to me since. It got a tick because of that memory...

i ticked Bloc Party because i quite like the Adam Ant style backing vocals thing.

I missed this totally. But the lead singer and instrumentation would outweigh it even if Marco Pirroni himself was involved.

conveniently i have forgotten how Kele sounds on it. probably bad as usual!

i just went and ticked Fall Out Boy because i found myself enjoying the stomping rhythm of the verses on the Friday Night Project. END TIMES.

More like Fun Boy Three i think?

Also the phrasing of "tonight, make me unsto, ppa, ble" really really reminds me of Robert Smith.

The Phones remix is also excellent, and worth a tick for that - lots of lovely squelchy electro sounds going on make it much more listenable (although I must admit to liking the original too).
