LEAGUE OF POP: Schedule

[freakytigger.livejournal.com]

There are two leagues - the POP PREMIERSHIP and the CHART CHAMPIONSHIP. If you're playing, please remember which you're in! Just to add to the mentalism, I'll be running a game from both each week.

The Pop Premiership includes: alexmacpherson, bengraham, braisedbywolves, dubdobdee, fugitivemotel, hauntedballroom, inhibitorylinks, jel_bugle, katstevens, strange_powers, xyzzzz, zenith. The first home player is xyzzzz

The Chart Championship includes: anthonyeaston, blue_russian, byebyepride, epicharmus, infov0re, jeff_worrell, lisa_go_blind, lockedintheatti, martinskidmore, pireatemoggy, poptasticuk, skillextric. The first home player is martinskidmore

WBS do you mind being the home player this week? Since lockedintheatti can't make it?

[freakytigger.livejournal.com]

No worries - Martin S has taken it on!

[lockedintheatti.livejournal.com]

eek! I'm going on holiday for 2 weeks on Sunday so I wouldn't be able to review til I get back on the 11th March - is that a problem?

[freakytigger.livejournal.com]

Yes! Let's swap you!

[freakytigger.livejournal.com]

In that case could you email leagueofpop@gmail.com track ideas for the first two weeks - I can hunt them out if you nominate them? Cheers!

[lockedintheatti.livejournal.com]

cool, I can do that - what's the brief again? Is it just stuff that people might find interesting?

[freakytigger.livejournal.com]

Yeah - the home player will submit a little intro giving their particular likes, but in this case you won't be around to see those.

[lockedintheatti.livejournal.com]

Oh well, I'll just have to go with random then!

[lockedintheatti.livejournal.com]

I'm emailing them over now

[jel-bugle.livejournal.com]

I must send some sickly twee pop for Julio.

yer evil! ;-)

nah, if you think I'll like it plz go ahead.

Um, gulp.

[epicharmus.livejournal.com]

I'm going to be in Seattle for the EMP from the 20th to the 24th, then ON A TRAIN from the 24th to the 27th! We may have to reschedule my Chart Championship responsibilities.

Re: Um, gulp.

[freakytigger.livejournal.com]

OK! That will affect dubdobdee too, actually, won't it? I'll swap him with Kat and you with byebyepride, probably.

[http://users.livejournal.com/xyzzzz__/]

Tom I'll send the top five tomorrow or sunday.

[blue-russian.livejournal.com]

I have somewhat mechanically added everyone in my league to my lj friends list, even though some of you (and me) don't really keep lj's. (Call it scouting.) Please to forgetfully list your entire CD collection soon ;)

[martinskidmore.livejournal.com]

I'll be sort of easy, in that I have posted countless lists of favourite things - but on the other hand, I have several thousand albums so do know quite a lot already.

I have no plans that would affect my participation schedule, at present.

[freakytigger.livejournal.com]

Martin, can we swap you with skillextric to be the home player this first week?

[martinskidmore.livejournal.com]

Sure, if that helps.

[bengraham.livejournal.com]

Prior warning from me that my effort for Week 6 (2nd - 13th April) is likely to be inhibited by the fact that I'm abroad from the 1st to the 11th. I'll still be able to do what needs to be done, but it will probably be below par! Sorry.

[poptasticuk.livejournal.com]

That week is OK for me if you can send the music as a zip or something but not for receiving CDs - is that alright?

[freakytigger.livejournal.com]

No problem - all the US and Australia people will be getting the music as zips anyway so it'll be an option for the Brits too (& cuts out one more step for me so I'm happy!)
