AKA the Guardian has another pop at predicting the pop revival.

That said I like all the acts mentioned who I've actually heard. Perhaps this is the Real Thing!!!

Blah. Predictable hype from a newspaper (what else do you expect?) and predictable whining on here (ditto).

For the record I like all of the artists mentioned in the piece, see not much connection between any of them and Peaches, and agree with Elly J in her Lipster interview today: shut up about electro pop, it's just pop.

In any case, hype like this might mean record labels sign more mildly interesting, fun, (relatively) glamorous artists, rather than more dull scruffy guitar bands, so that's probably a good thing right?
