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!

I can't resist mentioning my favourite greengrocer's sign, seen in a store towards I think the Northern end of Green Lanes: "ASPARAGU'S". Best apostrophe ever.

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.

I have never heard that mix of Stush before! It is this one - helpfully labelled as "Sirens" on Youtube, not "We Nuh Run":

I was wondering whether the J.Orb was going to make an appearance, and there it is! Can this one be totted up to Singles Jukebox influence, or are voters peeps that would've been repping for it without that exposure as well?

(Bet none of my notquitedubstep votes are about to show up, though, hahaha.)
