Wonky pop versus landfill indie
Miserable music
Ashlee's album dissected in full
Seth Godin's Passion-Pop curve
Where are our summer jams?
How often should your favourite record change?
Transferable poptimism

May songs as opposed to albums: "Elevator", "Thirsty", "That's Not My Name", "Closer", Elnur & Samir - "Day After Day", Cut Copy - "So Haunted", Guillemots – "Falling Out Of Reach", Emit Bloch - "Lost Dogs (Have More Fun)", Dolly Parton - "Better Get to Livin'"... and OK OK some of the tracks on the new Scooter LP are quite good fun. The "greatest hits" disc is just painful to sit through though.

really like 'so haunted' that much?

Put it this way, it's the only track on the LP that moves me at all.
