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 don't know the Ditto story, but there may be something similar to Lily Allen. That is, Lily's known for slagging people so she's asked to slag people and reported as doing so even when she's not; whereas when you read her blog, from which she got her original reputation for slagging, she comes off as someone excited/distraught without much of a built-in censorship apparatus, and is far more warm than mean. (Actually, haven't read that much of the press about her, so maybe they don't push the slagging bit; that's just something that jumped out at me the few times I saw it. Of course "slagging" does seem to fit in with "biting lyrics.")
