A to Z of Europop
People keep saying to me they wish they knew more about Europop so I thought I would write a basic guide introducing all the best acts. I started making a list but found that so many of the important bands began with A that the whole first post will be dedicated to them. The ‘best… Continue reading A to Z of Europop
Video Killed The Radio Star
V – Can You Feel It I don’t know if this is actually the b-side to the amazingly brilliant Hip To Hip but I believe it is on the single and the video has today been released to The Box. This is of course V’s cover of the Jacksons’ classic from the Discomania CD/TV show… Continue reading Video Killed The Radio Star
Repeat After Me: “We Are Not Uncool, We Are Post-Cool!”
I loved this Times article (linked from NYPLM) about how cool is not cool anymore and instead people are beginning to prefer honest, unpretentious pop and a new culture of ‘post-cool’. The writer’s main reason for thinking this is the popularity of the Scissor Sisters and the Darkness, even among the types of people who… Continue reading Repeat After Me: “We Are Not Uncool, We Are Post-Cool!”

Click here to watch the video to Darren Hayes’ new single, Popular! It is well worth seeing, as my review below will tell you.
Video Killed The Radio Star
In traditional stars out of 5. Darren Hayes – Popular As you might just have noticed I am incredibly excited about Darren’s return due to being a fan of the supersized nature, but even I, having never disliked a single Darren/Savage Garden track, could never have imagined that the song and video would be this good.… Continue reading Video Killed The Radio Star
Video Killed The Radio Star
Jamie Scott – Just MTV Hits are playing the exclusive of the video by this new young male singer. He is a pretty boy, probably about 19 or 20, with a voice very much like that of Jay Kay from Jamiroquai. The single, Just, is sadly not up to much but he could be good… Continue reading Video Killed The Radio Star
This Is Insania
Today’s midweeks bring us another chart disaster as Rachel Stevens fails to join the highly exclusive club for singers of worthy no.1s in 2004. So far it only has 2 members, Britney and McFly – and even McFly are feeling pretty lucky to be there. I am not terribly suprised at the predicted no.1, Lola’s… Continue reading This Is Insania
