A-Burke at number one! That's four new #1s in as many weeks. What is this, 2001? Also plenty of stuff from TV talent shows in today's poll:

[Poll #1618230]

Thanks everyone who came to The Last Ever Poptimism on Friday (and thanks to anyone who attended over the last five-and-a-bit years)! A club is only as good as it's crowd, and you were very very awesome.

There's not enough tunefulness in the Linkin Park song, the overblown drama of the production would work better with a catchier song. Listening to Linkin Park taking small steps away from their roots got me thinking about Paramore again* and what teenagers like to connect with now as opposed to ten years ago when they're looking to vent frustration and angst. There's a lot of drama with both bands, but where Linkin Park are operatic about it Paramore search in more claustrophobic spaces.

*Happens quite often.

Please do expand on Paramore! I still like 'The Only Exception' rather a lot. Also piratemoggy de-lurked to do her investigatory post about Cascada, didn't do her any harm :)
