It’s a good job “Balloon” is a bracket balancer or I’d be calling for a stewards’ enquiry into the results so far. I’d rank these in the complete opposite order. Yaeji tracks too often leave me […]
I like the Yaeji song, it has that cold distant electroclash vocals, but over a much warmer indietronic track. It's a nice contrast.
Problem Child crushes the competition here. Vote for it!
BALLOON is being DONE NASTY, let me REAPPROPRIATE - it's personal. releasing the thread now... floating, floating, everybody floating!
Quite right - none of these picks are mine, but for one or two of my nominations I *may* have taken the attitude that I can make the pop poll voters listen to any silly songs that I like...
I originally misread this and was deeply disappointed that Hasselhoff wasn't the one asking if we wanted to make love to a sad old man. I wondered if I'd missed that lyric in Head On...
Have a friend who recounted when a teacher of hers back in college said, "I am now going to ruin Emily Dickinson for you," and commenced singing "Because I could not stop for Death – He kindly […]
I admire people for getting a little silly with their picks, especially as it's all for a good cause, but I think I might have to vote "absent" on this group. Hopefully a family of asylum seekers in […]
A harder-edged day with our most rocking headline group and some uncompromising material in our undercard matches as well. All this and ADMIN in the comments too.
Despite my promise of some admin there's only really one bit, which is that I am selling out and doing a poll on Twitter again - NOT the Charity Crusher or any of our other planned tournaments, […]
Our headline group!
Ha, blimey, I pressed vote for Lizzo with a bit of a sigh thinking, well, obviously it will be way out there in the lead so this might be a bit of a wasted vote... sort of still is, but for a […]
It has been over a decade now, and I'm still no closer to understanding why, of all of the artists and songs that sound like it from the 21st Century, it is 'Dancing On My Own' that is the 20th best […]
I've made this point in the Musk Rats domain before but it bears repeating, given that, on one level, they're sort of about the same thing, I found it interesting that while I sympathise with Robyn, […]
Shapeshifters fans may be interested to know that the Patreon version of Popular (which is 2 number ones head of the regular edition) has reached Lola's Theme! I suspect anyone interested enough […]
The rhythm game sections in the Karaoke bars of the Yakuza series have long given me a lot of trouble - as I get older I am losing the dexterity to button mash effectively. The games themselves […]
The first two both made me think Spotify was glitching, Kenshi because it drops half a beat every few bars (I think) and Busiswa because of that EXTRA LOUD snare. I’m a sucker for dropped beats, so […]
nominator here: yes, it's from 2014. this is not how 2022 South African house (re)incarnations sound!
The Oumou Sangaré YT link goes to Robyn. This is the correct one: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tulfimCd6JE
Yep!
The affected way she swallows the ll in dollars turned me into a strange rage. Especially when she enunciated it properly once in the song showing that it was perfectly […]
I love the individual bits of NBPQ but after listening to the Sudan Archives album repeatedly last year I feel it's the track from it that feels the least stand-alone - something too jarring about […]
Looks like the bracket balancers are going to claim their first victims here (BUT WHO??)
