Calling all Swedophiles

If you’re in the Brighton area this weekend you should come along to this: I’ve already bargained with the DJ for some Robyn and Melody Club, so if we can ignore all the indie music it should be quite acetastic.

The Xtremely Late Factor

I know it’s a whole week since the first X Factor live show but I only just saw it and I wouldn’t like to deprive you of my opinions… RobertI didn’t think it was possible for jolliness to be a bad thing, but here is the proof – Robert is a pretty good singer but… Continue reading The Xtremely Late Factor

Although we’re far more interested in the Greatest Hits of Girls Aloud and the Sugababes, there are others on their way for the Xmas period, including that of Moby who has used this as an excuse to make his first proper pop song, with an ace video and vocals from Debbie Harry, no less! I… Continue reading News

New Pop On The Block

Justin Timberlake – My Love (Video)This was my favourite on the new JT album, until I saw the video remix version and suddenly I was rather less fond of it. When is JC’s video going to be revealed? If Justin can make songs as ace as Until Yesterday, why would he give them away, when… Continue reading New Pop On The Block

A Strange Discovery

Curiosity aroused by DSTP‘s mention, I went to look at the details of the new Ultra album which was quite randomly released this week. This was a surprise enough, but even more so when I found that some of the songs were Alistair Griffin standards (songs he wrote pre-Fame Academy and appeared on his album)… Continue reading A Strange Discovery

New Pop On The Block

James Morrison – Wonderful World (Video – a special Dirrrty Pop one too!)This was the song which interested me in James Morrison when I saw him performing on MTV a few months ago. It reminded me of Gavin DeGraw, and although James didn’t turn out to have as much ace music as Mr DeGraw (whose… Continue reading New Pop On The Block

A million apologies later…

I may have been too busy pursuing ridiculously wholesome French film students, escaping the clutches of long-haired jazz enthusiasts and not doing any work whatsover, but I have not forgotten about Dirrrty Pop or pop music in general. Here are some of the best songs that have soundtracked my last two weeks: Siobhan Donaghy –… Continue reading A million apologies later…

New Pop On The Block

Basement Jaxx – Take Me Back To Your HouseI liked this when I saw it on TV and even more so when I heard that the lady singer is actually her from Dragonette, a really ace Canadian band. Since the Basement Jaxx album also stars Robyn, they’ve definitely done well on the collaboration front. The… Continue reading New Pop On The Block

Sorry dear blog readers

I don’t mean to neglect you, but life is still a bit crazy at the moment. I have been at uni for a week and a half now so it is getting to be more normal and I hopefully will have more to write about soon. Without music channels or much Internet time it is… Continue reading Sorry dear blog readers
