The Pop Open Group E: RESULTS

[freakytigger.livejournal.com]

Here are the results for the violence group - I'm putting them all up at once because I may be summoned away from my PC (or I may equally faff about on it all day long).

First Place: Motor - "Black Powder" (Track 1, 8 1st place votes, 30% of total points) - katstevens wins.

Second Place: Pizzicato Five - "One Two Three etc Barbie Dolls" (Track 5, 4 1st place votes, 23% of total points) - skillextric qualifies.

Third Place: Loretta Lynn - "Fist City" (Track 2, 5 1st place votes, 21% of total points) - lisa_go_blind qualifies.

Fourth Place: Speedy J - "Patterns (Remix)" (Track 4, 4 1st place votes, 19% of total points) - freakytigger is OUT.

Fifth Place: James Kochalka Superstar - "Monkey Vs Robot" (Track 3, 2 1st place votes, 9% of total points) - jel_bugle is OUT.

Congratulations to Kat, who gets to pick which group she is in for round 2 - there are still - IIRC - places in 50s and Before, 60s, 70s, 80s and 90s. She also gets to pick which lisa_go_blind lands in, and then skillextric's fate is determined by the Randomiser.

Thanks to all voters, especially those discerning individuals who voted for track four.

This week's group is RELIGION, and is up tomorrow with results next week. Then the Pop Open goes on vacation until mid-September, giving the 24 players in Round Two a month to get their tracks in (and me a chance to go on holiday myself!). We'll fill the orgafun gap in some yet-to-be-determined way. I'll also put up a special post of POPOCRYPHA - the tracks people sent in for Round One but then changed their minds on.

I basically pretend that Momus doesn't exist outside of the ILM archives. I don't believe he's a popstar or a 'celebrity', I don't believe he's made music, he's just some appalling internet character. I have a similar reaction to a lot of J-pop to you - though I actually expect it to suddenly click one day! - so everything I know is from Cis. Which is nicer than having it from Momus.
