The Riotous Return Of WINNER STAYS ON!

[freakytigger.livejournal.com]

Miranda Lambert's reign as our pop winner has been somewhat extended by my being lazy, but now the great records are just queueing up to dethrone her - this week's challenger is "Nth Degree" by Morningwood, previously fussed over on Poptimists by awesomewells. We can JAW JAW in the comments box about whether angry country or bouncy inc3st-pop is better, but for now it's WAR WAR in the form of VOTE VOTE.

[Poll #661124]

(Dunno what on earth these tracks are? Watch this space (if you're a member of the group)).

initial reaction to MWood is not good

Never mind Alang, it's probably Zeitgeist next.

there's something very 1994 about that MWood song but i'm not sure i can pin it down. whimsy girl vocal indie aiming at pop. i bet it sounds good on the dancefloor. but is that enough? well yes it probably is, but that doesn't stop ppl hating on echobelly. except me. i'm a mass of contradictions.

That was pretty much my reaction for my first five or so exposures (reviewin it for Stylus) but it won me over when I heard it a bit louder.
