pop awesomeness
Once again I should be doing work, but I really want to pass on some great music I've been listening to lately. It's the soundtrack for today's modern lumpen!
'Domino Dancing' - West End Girls
Can anything be gayer than two Swedish lasses covering the Pet Shop Boys? Word on the interweb is that they'll be releasing a whole album of PSB covers. This song is pop perfection, I tells ya.
'Hung Up' - Madonna
Segueway via Sweden and more yay-for-gay music greatness with Madge/Esther's new single which heavily samples an Abba track. It's actually quite good, in case you were wondering. The clip reminds me of this haggard looking woman who goes to Q&A (a queer pub night) every Thursday here in Melbourne. It's kind of funny how Madonna has come around to the other side of fitness and now looks like a heroin addict. But it's working quite well for her.
Unstoppable - Girl Talk
I finally got this album which has been out for ages on Dsico's Spasticated Records here in Australia. Yeah, the whole mash-ups thing is dead, but this album is still fucking grouse. It's some heavily cut-up and mashed-up pop, reassembled into some very rocking tracks. It's been getting heavy rotation on my compubox data music transmitter.

Mr OompaLumpen, we are disturbed at your pop-predilection, esp with M's descent to the banal, though we do concede that some pop feels like a dirty pleasure... That is we feel dirty at the pleasure it elicits. Be that as it may, we wish to share our joy at a recent discovery;

whose concert a fortnight ago at The State Theatre was superb.
And some old favourites;

In the words of the Great bart, 'totally impressive, Madonna both sucks and blows".
Octopii are the dimensional equivalent of the mice in hitch-hikers guide.
Nice site - and anyone who reads Jesus' General can't be all bad...
the other side of fitness. yay for you for that. & yay for pop aswell.
how great is it that madonna simulates sex with a boom box in the film clip for hung up? if she weren't so hot it would be a bit sad though. can't imagine anyone else getting away with it, hmm, maybe natalie imbruglia...?
