December: I picked my top 25 singles of the year and held the Dirrrty Pop Awards 2003, got very excited about Will’s album and World Idol, loved Ari Hest, S Club 8 and Pop Idol, was sad at the end of Dawson’s Creek and made presents for all the ace people I met in 2003.… Continue reading 1st Year Of Dirrrty Pop Continued…

So here’s all my best bits of our first year: June: Started Dirrrty Pop, went to Summer XS in Reading, read the Popstars: The Rivals book which I still haven’t finished!

Sorting through some old CDs today I found this fa-fa-fa-fabulous song by the Tamperer ft. Maya and it reminded me that I haven’t done an If You Buy This Record… feature on Dirrrty Pop in ages! So here we are, the first life-improving record of 2004: Gavin Degraw – Chariot I cannot praise Gavin Degraw… Continue reading If You Buy This Record Your Life Will Be Better

So last night was my first Will concert of 2004 and hopefully not my last because, as usual, he was fantastic! Everyone there came out saying exactly that – his vocals were better than ever and he came across as the loveliest person in the world, which is unsurprising really as that’s just what he… Continue reading Dirrrty Pop Review: Will Young At Oxford!

In Maroon 5 members out of 5! Portobella – Covered In Punk This is my new favourite song. It’s electropop meets punk meets Shampoo and the result is insanely cool and catchy. The lyrics are also fantastic, including “Look at me I scream like a banshee, God save the drag queen, God save the drag… Continue reading Video Killed The Radio Star
