Fickle Jades

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This is maybe grist to thenipper's theory (sassy early-mid 00s pop has been superseded by Allen/Nash/Harris indiefied pop (Amy W. now seems a difft.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?)

MY QUESTION

Is there anybody in the world who actually likes Rufus Wainwright? He seems to be everywhere, but has he ever had a hit single? I call him "old man sufjan".

I'd quite like to hear his songs sung by other people - some of them sound like they might be quite good, but are completely ruined by his awful delivery, it makes them almost unlistenable.

Someone must like him - his most recent album got to number 2 in the charts
