I wrote a lengthy piece about bar DJs only to have it wiped out when like an idiot I clicked on a link in an email. The gist of it is that they may have a thankless job playing music nobody really cares about it but they're still twunts who seem to think their tasteful funky house music is the most exciting in the world. I say 'funky house music' and of course I really just mean 'bar music', it has long since become its own genre.

Anyway it's Tuesday and the barometer of orgafun points to WIZZO. Three wins in a row for "Biology", increasing its average score to 7.68 and seeing off Kelly Clarkson's 6.96. So "Biology" stays on and its new challenger, still raiding the '2005 pop' drawer, is "Be Mine!" by Scando act Robyn, "this year's Annie" if you believe the pigeonholers. This one suggested by [livejournal.com profile] juror8. Which one will go through to Friday's meeting with the Frog? (or whoever else you suggest) YOU DECIDE.

Ha, Girls Aloud are 2006's Robyn, who was 2005's Annie.

Things are different in America. As far as I can tell, this has its downsides - there's something satisfying about the Aloud being as big as they are (in the UK) as well as as good as they are - but also its upsides - Goldfrapp and Rachel Stevens are both unheard of, so there isn't this whole thing of their respective profiles affecting who likes who etc.
