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.

The Fall Out Boy song = tremendous, as is the video. I had my doubts that they could find a song to match the grebtmess of the title, but they have. I was SHOCKED however to see that in said video most of the band look the wrong side of 30. I thought these dudes were the latest emo-for-teens sensations. Surely no self-respecting teenager can love anyone this old.

I was going to say that the other day but then I realised the people I was talking at in the pub might not see that as an argument in FOB's favour. Nevertheless, they defo are. They even have a sort of sulky rock contingent lurking in the background (guitarist Joe Trohman) although they also have a drummer, so that's very confusing all round.

From Wentz we came
