With The Lex gone and Stevem boycotting these polls, I was planning to step up and do the moan-about-the-state-of-the-UK-charts spiel. But I actually like 3 of these (Pixie, Livvi, Shakira) a lot. And Mini Viva is OK if Xenomania-by-numbers.

Pixie was great on Radio 1 last night. She might actually be a proper pop star after all. "Boys & Girls" is a big rip off of some song or other, (can't quite place it yet), but it's so simple and catchy I don't really care.

Frighteningly, it's 'Let It Rock' by Kevin Rudolph/Lil Wayne that Pixie's ripping off.

Well, it's actually some protosoul track from like 45 years ago, but I'm racking my memory and not coming up with the song. I thought The Drifter's "On Broadway," but that's not it.

Well yes but the most recent thing it's ripping off then.

I doubt it, the Pixie song's been on her MySpace for over a year!

'Let It Rock's been around for yonks though; I'm not saying there's necessarily a direct connection but that's what the Pixie song reminds me of.

Different mix, though, right? I was startled by all the horns when I saw the video.
