Formula

[steviespitfire.livejournal.com]

What's wrong (or right) with formula in pop? It seems to go hand in hand with the apparent 'disposability' of pop, really. I'm all for it: from Motown to, well, Lu Cont, I guess. On the other hand, I'm listening to the Coldplay remix and though I like it well enough, I do worry that JLC's just caning the same tried and tested formula again and again.

So, what do youse think? About formula? I'm sure Tom will have some stuff to say, what with all the 60s pop he's listening to for Popular. :)

Don't mean to turn this in hipster-'dance'-corner but counter example: Superpitchers got a real 'formula' for his remixes too and I never get tired of that.

Dull answer, really: if you like the formula, youll never get tired of it.

Me and my rub questions!
