A Year In Pop: 9

[freakytigger.livejournal.com]

The SAP of POP is RISING with a staggering 12 new entries this week. Do I know anything about any of them? DO I BUGGERY. Apart from Ugly Rumours, with Tariq Ali on bass and Keith Flett on marimba and vibes.

I'd be curious what you think of the Cushh. It doesn't work for me, but I'm not sure why (doesn't help that the versions on their MySpace sound like mud). Seems like Cushh are trying to be will.i.am and Fergie, which is laudable. Also, you might well like the Camille/Fedde more than I do (actually, I think what I've heard is Camille without Fedde, and it's too spare, though since I often love spareness I haven't completely figured out what my problem is, except that to be successfully spare you have to play the most effective notes, or else you'll be boring; they do add effective squiggles and scrapes around the edges, but not enough to make it exciting).

The only YouTube upload of Cushh is awful quality too. The song sounded promising, but it won't get a tick from me unless I can hear it properly.
