Yet Another Year In Pop: 5

The wintry weather hasn't stopped Lily parachuting straight in at number one; other high climbers using their pickaxes and oxygen apparatus include Alesha (who moves into the top ten) and Jason Mraz (who just misses out at 11). The rest of the chart might as well be stuck in a snowdrift.

Oh god that interpretation had not occurred to me but aaagh.

a) I can see how it would fit with the lyrics
b) I'm sure Allen herself will catch on and try to claim this interpretation herself
c) Even though it was probably 100% inspired by bitching about some no-name WAGs
d) Which means that it annoys me EVEN MORE.

Have you heard the new Crazy Cousinz track? It's called 'Inflation' and is based around this amazing ascending xylophone riff and looming, menacing synths - there's definitely a zeitgeisty feel to it! It is the most perfect synthesis of "good vibes" and "recession doom".

Hahaha terrific! I must hear it.

Lytton has got very keen on "Heads Shoulders Knees And Toes" by the way - I am surprised nobody has scanned a certain London Paper article in for Poptimists!

People can feel free to do so! I have three copies of the thing, but no scanner. Fame at last. 'Heads Shoulders Knees N Toes' is so good, I did the dance at Night Slugs on Friday. LAYDEEZ LEMME SEE YOU GET DOWN LOW :)

I'll upload 'Inflation'...

what is this mysterious London Paper article? Not all of us live in the snowy iceplains of the metropolis.

it is a half-page picture of me raving at Night Slugs - it's one of my fbook photos - accompanying a Chantelle Fiddy piece about London clubbing, inc. the 'Heads Shoulders Knees N Toes' dance craze.

b) This is the interpretation she's been giving all along, though.
