League Of Pop Week 6 Nominations!

[freakytigger.livejournal.com]

Two points of order.

1. It is EASTER this week. This will have no material difference on the running of the League Of Pop, as I'll do the tracks on Saturday or Sunday as per usual. But I won't be around to post on Monday, so the nominations for NEXT week will start later than usual.

2. I messed up! I looked at the wrong spreadsheet and asked jel_bugle for an intro, when the PP home player this week should have been inhibitorylinks. But Jel it is. This provides me with a golden opportunity to repost the SCHEDULE for the 2nd half of the competition, so you'll find that below the intros. And speaking of the intros...

jel_bugle says: "Hello, I am jel, I am 30! A list of five pointers:

1. Thrash/Power/Hair/Female Fronted Euro Goth/Classic/Symphonic/Battle METAL; Hard Rock/Proper guitar solos (ie not indie gubbins from telecaster copies)
2. 1990's US Indie/Lo-fi rock; the slightly less lame aspects of twee indie pop/Spanish indie pop/ German hum'n'strum stuff (monika/morr)
3. Would like to hear more J-Pop/K-Pop/Rock in foreign languages/music that's creative without lacking melody and oompphhh/ songs with good chorus's
4. Not really a fan of Rap/R&B/anything generically dance; Not really a fan of British Indie
5. If this helps, the last 5 albums I bought were: Alice Cooper - Hey Stoopid; Kreator - Pleasure to Kill; Pond - S/T; Within Temptation - the Heart of Everything; Therion - Gothic Kabbalah

But, really send a song you like, and don't feel bad if I don't like it."

inf0vore says: "Tom, 24, does internetty things and tends to listen to lots of music whilst doing so. Things I like:

1) a large smattering of indie, including a reasonable amount of the haircut end of things (sorry); indie was my first love, after all.
2) lots of electronic stuff, mainly in the minimal/housey/pop veins (which covers my beloved Underworld, Kompakt-type stuff, through Junior Boys, to the Postal Service, etc)
3) Emo.
4) I am not ashamed to admit my huge love for BIG BEAT back in the day
5) I have not listened to nearly enough good hip-hop recently, and I basically really like it, so would totally not be averse to that. I've come out of my backpacky phase, you'll be pleased to know.

I like lots of other things too, and my taste is probably better than it sounds, but that lot's a good starting place."

Here's the nomination boxes - as usual, tracks by Friday PM please to leagueofpop@gmail.com unless it's something unobscure in which case I can find it. MP3 format if possible.

[Poll #958755]

AND NOW: THE SCHEDULE. If you are yet to play, could you check this and let me know if you won't be around to receive/review (i.e. in the second half of the playing period). If you're a player and you know you'll miss a week, it's fine to send me something in advance - more than fine, in fact!

You have spelt infov0re's name wrong, so the link leads nowhere and makes it seem like he has left LJ in a strop or something.
