poptimistsCast your mind back to murky December and heat #4, where JoJo, Kanye, Kylie, the White Stripes and The Rasmus out-polled the Magnetic Fields, Eminem and Scissor Sisters to get through to the next round.
Some wicked-good bangers to kick off our next heat - it's almost like 2004 never went away!

Some wicked-good bangers to kick off our next heat - it's almost like 2004 never went away!
- You get SIX TICKS over the three bits of the poll, unless you played the investigation game on the previous heat and told us all your new favourite (and why). Put your new favourite in the box below and get an extra tick for the next heat - do it for five or more heats and get an extra nomination for 2005.
- The top five in each heat will go through to the next stage. Make sure you rep for your faves in the comments!
- If you want to fill in the 'best song I only heard today' box later, change your vote (or tick too many by mistake), you can edit your votes by clicking on 'Poll #12345' then 'Fill Out Poll'.
- You have until Friday lunchtime to vote.

I'm mixed-up, so what?

Date: 2010-01-19 01:51 pm (UTC)I can't find a youtube embed, sadly. BUT IT IS REALLY GOOD; it's got a little bit of that louche classiness of One Touch Sugababes but with a little less virginity.

Canned follow-up "Money In My Pocket" is really good too.

Date: 2010-01-21 05:13 pm (UTC)Michael suxx in comparison though. Tangent warning - there is a weird correlation in 2004 of alliterative bands releasing singles with a dudes' name as the title:
Franz Ferdinand - Michael
Scissor Sisters - Mary
Scissor Sisters - Laura
Shape Shifters - Lola ('s theme)
White Wstripes - Jolene
