There is another BIG POLL to come on Poptimists today - DON'T TOUCH THAT DIAL especially if you like BORING OLD ROCK MUSIC (erm). EDIT: BIG POLL delayed until tomorrow, sorry dudes.

Wetx3 - Marti Pellow looks blimmin' awful these days. It's not your fault Marti, it's the ravages of time and heroins. Could he invest in a paper bag with holes for the eyes or summat? Hahahaahhahahaha he just said 'floating on the winds of DESPAIR'!!!!! Zomg this is truly awful. Not even my mumpop love can earn this a tick.

Lovely The Feeling - HOORAY disco stomptastic. Obbly-obble-oo!

Morrissey - I can't name a single Morrissey solo thing I've liked. God he's a c0ck. At least Marti Pellow seems resigned to his fate and is taking it on the chin, Moz is turning into Cliff Richard without the charisma.

Goldflop - botherd. I've seen this a few times and it has gone right over my head. Not dreadful, not interesting.

Biffy - sounds promisingly like the Hoosiers, but after waiting three mins and still no chorus they can sod off.

MJ & WIA - nice samba milk bottle noise but the song underneath isn't inspiring me.

Timbaland - another single? Blimes he ain't half milking this album. The tambourine is painfully high in the mix, tho that might just be the youtube rip I'm listening to. Poor Keri and Nicole are drowned out! This will probably grow on me in the next zillion weeks that it'll be on HitsTV but until then, no tick.

30STM - ahhhhhh I remember who this lot are, it's Jared Leto's band innit? I can tell by the BUDGET. Is this in celebration of Chinese New Year or something? hahahhahaah go cry emo Jared. He's even got fingerless gloves on, awww. Where was I? Oh yes, botherd.

Adele - CHEER UP LASS fer fvcks sake. She has no fingerless gloves OR smudged eyeliner so what's her excuse?

It's only the fourth single from the album! 'Give It To Me', 'The Way I Are', 'Apologize', 'Scream'. It feels like much more because all of them have been bizarrely massive hits, sticking around for ages - it seems solo-Timba is now far more successful than Timba-as-producer (despite the album being unanimously dismissed by critics).

It's at least the 5th - that one with the Hives was released too.

Not according to everyhit or polyhex...

According to Wiki it reached number 50 in Australia, possibly because the Australians confused the Hives with the Vines.

OK so it wasn't released in the UK (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Throw_It_on_Me), but I remember the video floating around on the telly last year.
