There was a time, a couple of years ago, when a new GA and a new Sugababes single within a week or two of one another would have caused mass fizzing and rejoicement among the "online pop community". No longer it seems - "Sexy No No No" got a warm but not really thrilled reaction and "About You Now" seems to have snuck out without much trace.

This is maybe grist to thenipper's theory (sassy early-mid 00s pop has been superseded by Allen/Nash/Harris indiefied pop (Amy W. now seems a difft. k of f)) but what ARE you getting excited about at the moment? What are you looking forward to, o Poptimists?

(&, as importantly, what do you see other people getting excited about?)

smooshy male R'n'B is and always has been the part of the genre that I loathe the most. So that is most definitely a NAY for me.

I can hear - tho perhaps I'm projecting a lot! - an undertow of gorgeous existential yearning in some of it though which I wasn't getting so much before. Maybe I've just been listening to Sugar And Poison too much though and I want more nu quiet storm stuff.

Ha no I intended to link and press submit - it was an old soul ballad compilation in the Ocean Of Sound ambient series, compiled by David Toop.
