A somewhat uncontroversial week, I'm disappointed to be honest that the Bananarama won it, it's adequate but not much else, very much someone wanting a "Cant Get You Out Of My Head" of their own, and it sounds a bit dated to me.

I'm quite pleased that the SSJ has recruited a real actual rockist too who will give good records zero.

(A 9 for Bonnie Prince Billy from Mr. Macpherson? Anyone would think he was indie or something!)

That 9 was nearly a 10! But I think BPB is not indie.

I'm also disappointed that Bananarama won, I think 2005 has seen the pro-pop massive drop their standards with quite alarming haste.

Roxette >>>>>> Uniting Nations by SO MUCH!

Pouting Powter looks a lot less like Woody Harrelson in that photo than he does in bits of the video.

The straight-ahead Groove Coverage-esque dance cover of "Fading Like A Flower" done last year by Mysterio is somewhat better than the Dancing DJs version, I think.

But FLAF is a very underrated Roxette single, it was always my favourite.

I like the way that the first four Common reviews each seem to contradict each other.

I decided not to bother reviewing this week when I realised that my only interesting comment would be that Lethal Bizzle's nose is the exact same shape and size as KRS-One's.
