poptimistsThe Pop Open is BACK for Round 2!
If you haven't played before, here's the setup - each week, we put up 4 tracks (each selected by a member of Poptimists). You listen to them and vote for your two favourites in the poll below. The only thing is, you mustn't vote for anything you already knew. Tracks are anonymised at first then revealed after a couple of days, and results are announced next Monday. Anyone can vote! (well if they're logged in to LJ)
This week's theme is "Fifties And Before" - you can get hold of the tracks either as a 13Mb zipfile here, or by streaming them at Freaky Trigger, here. Go go go, you crazy beatniks you.
[Poll #1060889]

Date: 2007-09-27 02:14 pm (UTC)Track 2: this is more what I was expecting to hear from the category... an upbeat music hall number. I could imagine a Disney character singing this.
Track 3: the lament of the war widow, perhaps? No, it turns out it's an advert for smoking. Sexy, sultry vocals.
Track 4: a portent of what was to come... this is exactly the sound replicated by the early Beatles material.
A good selection to choose from. Tough decision awaits!
