Booty Luv - Why the fuck even do disco if you're gonna bleed the glitz and joy out of it? But this has enough of the rhythm to get a borderline tick.
Ross Copperman - This is utter, sentimental shit, but not even exuberant sentimental shit, since he is "a blue eyed soul boy of indie-rock"! Neither flair nor originality. But at least this is competent sentimental shit, and it's not subduing itself, so borderline tick (though my guess is that if I had the alb I'd be doing like Lex and getting it out of the house as fast as possible). I may well rescind my tick after a third listen. (But if I don't tick it, who will?)(I think I'm ticking it for a melodic resemblance to Keith Urban's much much much much better "Stupid Boy.")
Maroon 5 - Probably more listenable/likable than the Copperman in the long run, but for a funk-based track it's so absolutely unexuberant, I can't get why this not only exists but has inspired the masses into a frenzy of downloading. Borderline nontick.
Scooch - Relentlessly cheerful, which isn't much better than relentlessly morose in my book (see p. 209). The bass beats are very knowing. (Now, what the hell do I mean by that?) Boney M could nail stuff like this every morning before breakfast, and make me feel something, but this is mediocre. I suppose that if even half-assed Europop like this showed up as a PTW track I'd be ecstatic, but these are the charts, not PTW, so borderline nontick.
Snow Patrol - Takes wing and sorta, um... what's it doing? Attenuated soaring? "Godawful" overrates it, since it achieves negligibility.
