January R.I.P.

Well, that was January and here's what we jawed about (double size "also includes December" edition):

Pop and Sex - is modern pop a bit too saucy?
Records we aren't sure about
At long last it's the MANICS CANON
The compleat guide to mid-00s indie two-hit wonders aka
The ultimate Xmas artist?
Poptasticuk predicts the 08 hype
What makes a good pop star?
The things kids say! aka BBC Sound of 08 horror poll
A brief history of the recessive vocal
What we dug in 2007
Is Hannah Montana a bad thing?
Who are Scouting For Girls and can we eat them?
Nursery rhyme canon: the blackbirds died the weasel died
What is the secret of MUSIC X (featuring graphs)
Capital Creep and its discontents
Do try and keep up!

Let us now look to the future specifically TOMORROW NIGHT when it is POPTIMISM at the Cross Kings in Kings Cross. It will be very good.

Ordinarily at this point I would do a poll saying - what's the best thing you've heard all month? But this time I thought I'd ask you to tell me that in the comments. So, yeah, what's the best thing you've heard this month?
