A Year In Pop: 10

[freakytigger.livejournal.com]

Last week's poll has mustered a pretty disappointing 30 votes so far - well down on the usual totals. This is probably due to it featuring 12 new entries and not a single agreed-on standout: it's always good to put yr tick against a box, though, even if that box is the dispiriting HAVEN'T HEARD option.

Another nine new tracks this week, but at least the chart compilers have taken pity and slipped a famous name or two in, and a trendy indie band in at no.40.

[Poll #946429]

Meanwhile in League of Pop news: anthonyeaston is stepping down because of illness - get well soon Anthony, we'll keep a place warm for you next season.

In one of the American buyouts that is rocking sport, however, koganbot will be stepping in to take the reins.

Also, in incompetence of Tom news: there were TEN new tracks this week - the one I forgot will go in next week's poll. Don't hold yr breath though.

Robbie, Joss & Enter Shakiri: all v poor.

I have just remembered what the LCD Soundsystem is actually like and am going to remove my tick.

Scissor Sistas get a tick because of the video (rip off of viral youtube ping pong thing - worth checking out)

2nd best Xtina song on the album, wise single choice, excellent video but is lacking that certain something - it never quite capitalises on the Mambo No 5 intro.

Not heard Biffy, Simply or Get Cape people.

Didn't think much of the Scissor Sistaz video, but then I know nothing of this "Matrix Ping Pong" thing it is parodying either. As for the music, I see they've graduated from 70s Elton to "I'm Still Standing" now. I guess this means the third album will take its inspiration from "Candle In The Wind '97" ;-)

Popjustice mentioned it a week or two back. The original is better but the SS video is still entertaining.
