A kung fu fighter in a disco

The incredibly low level of interest in the Podcast Panel has persuaded me to kill it off. It was a fun experiment and I heard a few great tracks off it, but there's clearly close to no interest in regular MP3s on Poptimists (or at least not in that format).

Thanks very much to the people who sent tracks in, and apologies for the ones I didn't get round to using. I want to put more MP3s on Freaky Trigger so the Panel may live again when we finish Europop 2008 (poptasticuk v bengraham today!).

Tomorrow or Thursday (depending on workload) I will put up the final Pop Open Round 3 match tracks (both of which are EXCELLENT so do please d/l them), and then I think that'll be it for orgafun on Poptimists for a while, maybe for good (though I would love to do another League Of Pop sometime in the future).

Of course the video club, discussion, weekly charts posts, pop trumps etc etc will keep on going so the community will still be (I hope) a vibrant and entertaining one. But I'm not going to expect you to fanny about playing games on it any more :)

Today's MP3 came without blurb or explanation from its shy submitter: it can be downloaded in full on that direct link or streamed at http://freakytrigger.co.uk

[Poll #1140876]

POLLS STILL OPEN: Keke Palmer! Natalia y la Forquentina! Avenged Sevenfold! and ending tomorrow Fleet Foxes!

POLL CLOSED: Trina ended up with a score of 6.44 with (I think) the highest NUMBER of votes so far (a still quite low 18).

HALL OF FAME: Lancelot Link's score of 7.2 is the highest (though it dipped after polls closed when dubdobdee voted.)

Starting sometime this week we will be streaming the tracks at Freaky Trigger, at least on day of release, which should hopefully up the voting levels a little bit!
