Bits of Poptimist Business

[freakytigger.livejournal.com]

How orga is my fun? How? How? HERE'S HOW - a new weekly Poptimists schedule so we can, "keep it regular".

Monday: Now poll (& Poptimists charts)
Tuesday: BOSH OF THE WEEK
Wednesday: Pop World Cup!
Thursday: Now poll
Friday: Winner Stays On.

Except I won't be posting this week's bosh until I get home.

I received my first Pop World Cup submission last night - IT IS EXCELLENT! I will not prejudice results by saying whose it was though. I have not yet decided which ridiculously complex fair and user-friendly voting system to use.

Bonus poll:
[Poll #653995]

Question of thee day: are there any really good songs about how other songs or music aren't good? "I Don't Know Where It Comes From" by Ride - unspeakable. "All The Records On The Radio Are Sh1te" by Ballboy - unpalatable. "Funk Pop A Roll" by XTC - erm chalk it down to guilty pleasures. WHEREAS songs about how other songs and music are GREAT are often good! i.e. "Music" by John Miles. Maybe.

'Rock'n'Roll' by Mos Def. Plus umpteen boring songs* about how "hip-pop" or modern rap is rubbish, by conscious conscious conscious rappers.

*And a few good ones.

Actually the entirety of hip hop, 'Beat Biters' by Missy Elliott springs to mind and of course innumerable "everyone else is shit but I am great" songs.
