POPTIMISTS TRACKS OF 2009: Nos 43-37

[freakytigger.livejournal.com]

Rounding up a few lobbied-for cuts and subgenre faves here.

43. THE DUCKWORTH LEWIS METHOD - "Jiggery Pokery"

No studio version of this cricket indie song exists on YT - here's a live rendition and here's what the song's about.

42. CASSIE - "Summer Charm"

Glad to see this get in, it's lovely. Well lobbied Frank!

41. ELECTRIK RED - "Friend Lover"

There's an official vid of this but it's on Vevo and I'm not sure about embedding from there etc. So a fan rip w/lyrics instead!

40. STUSH - "We Nuh Run"

I think this is the mix people are voting for but let me know if it's not!

39. DIRTY PROJECTORS - "Stillness Is The Move"

Vanguard indie, much compared to R&B, Mariah Carey etc.

38. JOY ORBISON - "Hyph Mngo"

It's from a greengrocer's sign reading "half mangos" in greengrocer. FACT!

37. VV BROWN - "Shark In The Water"

Poor old VV's catchiest thing - embedding disabled though.

Tomorrow - 36-25!

hurray for someone else voting for it!!!

i don't know but if you ask me
if it had been a cheese roll
it never would have paaaaaaaassed me

also, i'd wager, the only song in this chart featuring the word BASSOON.

A contra-bassoon, no less!

It could have made the Top 10 with a bit more of a marketing push, eh? I did not vote for this indie nonsense

Yes it was well placed to be this year MJ Hibbett! Will another track take that honour? Wait and see...
