Half a loaf

[freakytigger.livejournal.com]

The first half of the Stylus singles jukebox is up here.

Schnappi in the top half! Hurrah! Kaiser Chiefs in the top half - AARGH.

I seem to have been on the generous side this week, as I suspected. In blurbs you missed and probably don't care about, I gave Mint Royale a 2 or 3, the Stones a 4 (I think), and Bedouin Soundclash a remarkably open-hearted 5.

Not sure where comments are going to come from this week, though.

Now that we appear to have someone who gives O***s marks like 8 on 'the team', I will be living in fear every week.

I know! Poor show!

My exciting PREDICTION for tomorrow's

Mark Owen
Richard Hawley
Amerie
Kaiser Chiefs
Schnappi
The White Stripes
Rhianna
Sleater-Kinney
Girls Aloud

Obviously this is not the order I WANT them to come.

[freakytigger.livejournal.com]

Bottom to top, i.e. the order they will appear on the Stylus page!

[alexmacpherson.livejournal.com]

That looks broadly accurate though I don't think Sleater-Kinney will do as well as that. Amerie's not going to do nearly as well as she should :(

I forgot to include the caveat in my Cribs blurb that if they become 'big' and end up on the cover of the NME every week, I take it all back.

Mutter might have given Oasis 8 m'self mumble

they are there to keep us on our toes! (and after we have been accused of being OBVIOUS and CLOSE-MINDED in the USSJ comments, no less! ...by someone from that kelly clarkson arg way back, o'course)

I just saw! Who is that gu? Insane.

Every week I am determined to give everything a fair shot, to listen carefully to find the merit in any given boys-wiv-guitars song which will push it up to 1 or 2, but every week the horror is just too much.

Mark Owen had SO better not be bottom.

[alexmacpherson.livejournal.com]

Oh the comments I could make.

[umlauts.livejournal.com]

Go on everyone, admit it: Mark Owen. You totally would.

[juror8.livejournal.com]

I'd snap him in half.

That comment is made so much better by the picture of Paulie Walnuts above it.

You're terrible. Mark Owen looks like a cuddler, though. I'm not sure if that's a good thing or not.

Then again, Robbie Williams would be anhedonic, and Gary Barlow probably doesn't have a penis, and I can't remember what Howard and Jason looked like, so Mark's still the winner.

Mark Owen: You Totally Would should be the subtitle for tomorrow's article.

(I totally would)

Not these days. Too far past his prime.
