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.

I'm amazed by the lack of hate for Keane, relatively speaking. I thought that the little band of hobbits were calculated to make people who like pop music angry.

The track they wrote for the Gwen Stefani album, "Early Winter", is awesome and has turned me round on Keane!

jauntyalan is of course a long time fan.

"calculated to make people who like pop music angry".

i've always believed that the more you like pop music, the less angry you can be made. and KEANE ARE POP.

'poptimism' means 'you will never know what I might like next'. Free your mind!

I completely agree, one good Gwen Stefani song does not absolve them from their sins in their own right. Not as bad as Fall Out Boy though.

'is it any wonder' grew on me but apart from that and 'everybody's changing' i don't have much time for them.
