A Year In Pop: 28
Jul. 16th, 2007 11:35 amA light-ish week with a few well-known names.
Last week's poll - http://community.livejournal.com/poptimists/406271.html - got very very low tickage. Now, it wasn't a very inspiring selection but do pop back and have a look at it if only to tick the "not heard" box! The, ahem, delicately calibrated orgafun ranking system is in danger of being thrown out of wack.
[Poll #1022266]
There's another 20 minutes or so to get yr tick on in the Pop Open love vote, too. I have a terrible feeling it might be a draw as it stands.

Date: 2007-07-16 11:12 am (UTC)Mika: what exactly is he trying to prove here? I'm very confused and the song isn't good enough to overcome this. NO TICK
Supermal: I rly don't like Luciana and unlike the Bodyrox song the backing = WEAK BEATS. NO TICK.
Not heard the rest.
Good Ticknology
Date: 2007-07-16 11:24 am (UTC)Groove Armada - This is my favourite single so far this year. Don't panic panic don't act so manic manic! Tick of course. Agree about the video - where's the tension? :(
Super Mal - I wuv Luciana's voice! Great stuff. Tick!
Bloc Party - seems a lot more urgent than their normal stuff though they still can't write a good vocal line and his voice is cardboard. No tick, though closer than usual. I probably agree with the politics but so what.
Travis - if there has been a worse pun than "Selfish Jean" in the chart this yr I want to know about it! Absolute busker cobblers as per. No tick.
Valli - OK tell all - what is "beardo disco" and what is the difference between a "re-edit" and a "remix"? Is it just a remix where they haven't done much to it, as seems to be the case here? Tick I suppose, it's an OK old pop song.
Mika - Really awful, what is he playing at? No tick.
Foo Fighters - NEIN DANKE.
