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.

Half Man Half Biscuit- Four Skinny Indie Kids. Shit Arm, Bad Tattoo (the first ever song about Pete Doherty"). Vatican Broadside ("the singer out of Slipknot went to Rome to see the Pope..."). Arguably "The Ballad of Climie Fisher". About 80% of the rest of their catalogue.

this may not be fair but i have always taken HMHB's "disses" to be a kind of product placement of THEMSELVES in and around a title-mention of [insert other artist or item here], the conent being "anti" but carefully delivered so that fans of item treat it as "just a bit of fun" and think fondly of HMBM as a result

"Tip toe, to the front row, of the KoRn show, with a submachine gun". I suppose that could be a treat for Tiny Tim fans, though.
