Poptimists Quick Questions for Monday

[freakytigger.livejournal.com]

1. Is there a better Easter song than "Roll Away The Stone"?

2. What is that "ella-ella-ella-ay-ay-ay-ay" bit in Rihanna's "Umbrella" really reminding me of? It's not R'n'B, I think.

3. Is the Apple/EMI announcement the end of DRM or the end of EMI (or neither)?

Oh and also...

Haven't heard the LCD but I like everything else that's been mentioned in the Best Of March Poll so far, including the Brand New (somewhat), even if it is corny pseudoprofound indie emo shit ("So what did you do those three days you were dead?/'Cause this problem's gonna last more than the weekend"). Only listened to "Umbrella" once so it's gonna count for April. Three best songs on the Hilary are the dark, hurt, angry ones, "Stranger," "Danger," and "Happy" (the middle one is a Paris Hilton imitation and the last one may well be about being happy - haven't taken in any of the lyrics except for the WTF "Gypsy Woman" - but sounds as if it's shadowed by pain). Last year's suppressed Fefe Dobson album has leaked and based on the first half I haven't yet decided if the combination of vocal agony and pretty tunery is a mismatch that works or one that crashes.
