Jumping monkeys it's the POP OPEN!

The much delayed NOUGHTIES GROUP in the Pop Open. I'll be doing reveals for this on Friday and closing date for voting is Monday.

Tracks are available to stream here: http://freakytrigger.co.uk/ft/2007/11/the-pop-open-week-14/

In my humble opinion at least three of these are belters (I'm not saying which) so whether you are a louche pop open regular or a blushing poll virgin this is one to participate in. Remember you can't vote for any tracks you knew already!

[Poll #1092507]

Thanks to alexmacpherson, kill_yr_idols, piratemoggy and w3ft for these tunes.

Track 1: There's an alternate universe in which Joe Strummer is smart enough to fire Bernie Rhodes and not Mick Jones, and therefore the Clash soldier on through 80s, until Mick meets Jazzy B and forms Big Audio Dynamite with him instead of Don Letts. This song comes from that universe.

Track 2: After one listen, this is clearly the standout track in the bunch, although honestly I can't imagine myself ever listening to it again.

Track 3: I wasn't sure if this track didn't make an impression on me, or I was just shellshocked from track two. It wasn't shellshock.

Track 4: I feel like this is an homage to album tracks from early 80s one-hit wonder new wave disco acts. Probably would've liked it more if there was a tune.
