A Year In Pop: 7

[freakytigger.livejournal.com]

A somewhat slack week for new entries this. Perhaps we could talk about something else?

[Poll #931262]

Any ideas? Actually, here's something - was anyone reading this into Snow Patrol before they were enormous - and how do they feel about the band now they are The Biggest Band In Britain?

Also, don't forget to vote in the Jop Tournament quarter-finals.

I liked 'Final Straw' way before they re-released it when 'Run' came out, and am still bitter.

I still quite like Final Straw. I remember defending it a lot a while ago, assuring everyone that Snow Patrol had suddenly become big by accident just through having a good album, and that they weren't cynically trying to be the new U2 or the new Coldplay at all.

And then they repaid me by going and doing exactly that! The bastards.

Well, I can't reiterate your comments seeing that my big brother borrowed my cd ages ago and never gave it back - and I kinda don't want to pay for Gary Lightbody's alleged extra-curricular activities.

TELL ALL what is he supposed to be into? Can't be worse than David Byrne.

Nothing more than what the Holy Moly *spits* newsletter *makes rude gestures* has speculated anyway.
