AYIP Supplement April 2008

[anatol-merklich.livejournal.com]

There was a record number of 41-to-75ers in April; hopefully 20 alternatives isn't enough to induce poptimist fatigue. Also, quite a few of these tracks and acts have been listened to and discussed here recently, so go ahead, click the links optional, watch the vids optional and vote and talk away!

*sigh*

Wrote a lengthy comment about a bunch of these songs, but then submitted the poll without thinking to post comment. Stupid brain.

Not going to write it out all over, so just a quick note. What's with the piano intros to the videos for Cassie and Jordin? Don't they know that we love them with or without the ability to play instruments? Down with videoclip rockism and credibility grabs!

It works in the Jordin video because it fits in with the total OTT hamminess of the...entire rest of it. Cassie video is ridiculously boring though, it is literally her JUST STANDING THERE FOR FOUR MINUTES.

Have a look at where on the keyboard Jordin's hands are btw -- surely her piano must be tuned RIDICULOUSLY low? :p

Are we going to get one of these for May? I'm willing to do it if you don't have time (though I don't know how to do polls...)

[anatol-merklich.livejournal.com]

Absolutely! Filtered the list yesterday, have the text + poll template ready, will find youtube links + post this evening.

COOL I eagerly anticipate Lil' Mama flattening all in her path :D
