A Year In Pop: 21

This week's hitses! It is getting rly difficult to remember which I have or haven't done. Is this REALLY the first appearance for that Twang record? Everyhit seems to agree with me about this week's though.

Last week's was a record-breaker for ticks, I hope some of the tickers will stick around.

The Geonnies: YT only has live versions of this - kind of Jam meets Jangle, but of Television in there, intriguingly yelpy singer. I'd have liked it a lot when I was 16, borderline nontick but might be a tick if I heard the proper version. Actually I think I'll tick it, where's the harm eh?

The Feeties: Got a bit bored of this a while ago, not sure I ever heard the Bow Wow one, but it's still good. R Kelly reasonably explains some of the finer points of modern etiquette. Solid tick.

The Erchies: Reeks of "will this do?". No tick.

The Rascies: Video director's a comics fan I take it! Track works better with the video but the nagging hi-hat attack makes it anyway and DR's fine on it. Solid tick.

The Wangies: It's trad Dad! Wasn't expecting the Mike Skinnerisms on the verses but I don't like them much either. Music actually quite plangent. It's the real baggy revival! No tick.

Reverend and the Makers: Kind of an Arctic Pulp thing happening - does the world really need more "poignant" pop about people giving up their dreams etc. Seems very lazy. No tick.
