Another Year In Pop: 4

[freakytigger.livejournal.com]

The official new era of pop back in the charts, as approved of by Radio 1, is here! Let's see how it's doing.

[Poll #1128640]

Well then.

This would seem like a good moment to remind everyone that a tick in one of the last two boxen is better than no tick at all - it helps keep the numbers consistent from week to week. Yrs truly, Mr Stats.

Hipster-indie I guess. Run of the mill indie bobbins doesn't get the unanimous approval of any social circle I'm in!

'Shake A Fist' was apparently a 12" last year? The new one is 'Ready For The Floor'. His vocals are weak generally I think, and only really work when they commit to a groove. I have to review their album by um today (EEK) - luckily this applies to most of it. And even when it doesn't work their stuff is great remix fodder.

I caught them doing 'Ready For The Floor' on the last couple of seconds of The Culture Show at the weekend and BY GOD his voice was so trembling and cringe-worthy! It's a good tune and quite sweet but DUDES GET ONE BACKBONE.

'Shake A Fist' is the one with the talky "a game I like to call SOUNDS OF THE STUDIO" bit, isn't it?

yeah. that talky bit is so annoying. if you're gonna switch a song up just SWITCH IT UP, we don't need to be told because we have ears of our own
