CUPDATE plus Bits of Poptimist Business

I need your Group D votes by tonight please! The voting form is here and the tracks are available here. The group is a lot closer than it was on Friday, so your votes are v.crucial.

For Group E, I need tracks from alexmacpherson, julietk, boyofbadgers and "James B" to freakytrigger@gmail.com by tomorrow evening. MP3 format please or a link to an MP3 format download.

Speaking of freakytrigger, that email address is being spammed by indie record labels like never before, all offering me promos. (Your reporter made his excuses and etc.) I am guessing this is to do with the NYLPM valedictory in Pitchfork, though you'd think basic reading skills would have taken in the fact that I was closing the site. Will no man rid me of these turbulent Sufjan wannabes?

And speaking of spam, the Popular comments boxes are subject to a minor invasion of same - is there a way to IP ban from blogger comments, or even delete? I can't find one. It's mostly concentrated round older entries but I really don't want it overtaking the boxes and ruining the good thing I have 'going' there.

That Sugababes Canon In Full

As atommickbrane rightly says I have a physical addiction to polls, so expect more of those.
