TOTALLY UNSUCCESSFUL Pop News Round Up

[freakytigger.livejournal.com]

I was going to link to the Lex's piece on MINIMAL in the Graun, but the swines seem not to have put it on their website so you'll have to just imagine it. It was a good read anyway. OH OK it's here: http://music.guardian.co.uk/electronic/story/0,,2178449,00.html

So instead maybe we'll have to talk about MADONNA in the Rock And Roll Hall Of Fame. Anyone? No? Actually has anybody ever met anybody (even online!) who cares about the R&RHOF?

Maybe we'll just have to talk about her new record, "Candy Shop". It's a bit rub. :( EVEN THAT is not news, it's just a demo apparently. It's still a bit rub tho.

Any other pop news out there activating yr prefrontal cortexes?

hmm. its nice enough, so i get the melodic thing, but def not feeling any bangingness. i'm having problems imagining dancing to something so unenergetic. obv this is a failure of my imagination :-(

I can't hear how it could be unenergetic - I mean I CAN with some mnml tracks, but really not with this! The 4/4 beat is more pounding than usual in mnml, it's a really physical track - the moment where the acid bass comes in for the last time is just a total FISTS POUNDING AIR moment. Maybe this can be demonstrated at Kat's tomorrow...
