A Year In Pop: 14

[freakytigger.livejournal.com]

After last week's total damp squib (lowest polling numbers ever, too) - this is more like it. Too much more like it you might say with 12!!! new entries as the charts have a big old spring clean. At least 3 tracks here which have had their own poptimists thread! GET TICKING!

[Poll #963576]

YES. I just can't bear this form of smugness - people thinking they are the first ones to ever think 'hey, following the crowd isn't cool, man' and ACTIVELY SNEER at those who do, assuming people only like the Arctic Monkeys or whoever because they are mindless hype-devourers (as opposed to merely lacking in musical adventurousness).

Ben Le Elton ft Get A Scroobius Grip more like.

Scrooby do, scrooby don't

This wasn't as bad a track as these comments had led me to fear but then I quite like the Sunscreen song as well.

A borderline tick then, but I've decided I shall "follow the crowd" and not do so. The clincher: the "thou shalt not make repetitive music" (repeated several times) line. Get new jokes please.
