 | 08:58 am - mondays are rub, have some catchy desi
possibly i should start just doing a 'things i've heard on bobby friction' dump post at the end of the week or something (actually i did think we ought to maybe have a "werld music" thread at some point but i kind of find the idea of "world music" as opposed to anything else* offensive so idk idk) but having got up at 4r5e o'clock and walked four miles and being generally a bit miserable, this song just well pepped me up and is generally very, very ace in a sort of mildly black eyed peas fashion ( actually I realised there's two things i want to post, so cut time innit )
on a different note, i'm really sorry about the continuing absence of soulja boy hold'em aka ORGAFUN; i never got my internet connected in the house i was in before and am now, err, "no fixed abode" for at least a little while so i guess it's gunna have to be binned and maybe restarted in autumn or something, if i ever manage to actually live somewhere longer than ten minutes. sorry dudes! :(

 | 01:15 pm - Best Song of 2001: Nominations so far
Blimey we're already up to 289 songs!
( And here they are... )
If your nomination isn't on there then it's probably been shoved over to 2002: there are only about half a dozen tracks this applies to and in most cases I've tried to make the nominator aware of them so it doesn't use up their ten votes. Though now is a good time to point out any idiotic mistakes I've made!
There's still time to nominate (please comment on the original post, not this one) - I'll post a reminder in the middle of next week.

 | 09:46 am - can't actually remember if I've posted about this before
Saw this on Chart TV or some similar satellite music channel t'other day, am really really happy it's breaking into the mainstream; Bobby Friction's been hammering it for the last few months but it definitely deserves to be a proper actual major hit (along with about a bajillion other things but still) and altho I prefer the desi mix the original is also really lovely, in a Ne-Yo sort of way;
If that doesn't scream 'MASSIVE SUMMER ANTHEM' then I don't know what does. In all fairness, I hate summer so the latter statement may be truer.

| 02:05 pm - Best Song of 2000: Second Chance FINAL!
(EDIT: Had problems with this poll when it first went up, had to delete and start over. Sorry for confusion, please vote again if you already had!)
Okay, so it was pretty close in the second chance poll there dudes! It was tied at the top between Alizee and The Bloodhound Gang, and there ended up being a three-way tie for fourth and fifth between "Bound 4 Da Reload", "Hip Hop" and "Simon Says". Poised between them in third was Darude's "Sandstorm".
Hence, all six of them end up in this little final! But: which is BEST? You have one and only one vote!

Cascada fend off MJ to the top spot this week, but our Jacko has the rest of the top 40 pretty much covered.

No lower reaches watch today as OCC is still stuck on last week and Yahoo is kinda unreliable for anything past the top ten. Basically there's a lot of Michael Jackson down there too.

Okay, so while the wonderful katstevens is getting us to nominate our candidates for 2001 this week, I figured some of you might have itchy ticking fingers.
So, I've gathered together forty-four tracks that didn't quite qualify for the 2000 final. If you feel one of your favourites got a bad draw in the heats, here's your chance to extract some measure of justice. It's a second chance.
(Kat's hinted that she might let the winner of this poll sneak through into the finals proper. No promises though.)
The selection procedure to qualify for this second chance:
( How I chose 'em )
Rules gubbins:
( You get ten ticks is the short version )
And the poll itself:

Still D.R.E., Spinning Around and The Real Slim Shady led the pack in Heat #7, while Stronger and Stan fought off a last minute surge by The Bad Touch to join them in the 2000 final.
Last heat today! And there are some proper bangers below the cut...
( Same rules as the last heat - TEN ticks in total. )
( You ain't got no alibi! )
You have until Friday lunchtime to vote, at which point I'll post a full list of the qualifiers for the 2000 final. HOWEVER we're not going to be voting on that straight away (to try and avoid tick-fatigue on the same songs). Instead, next week we're going to start nominations for 2001. There will be a slight change in nomination procedure (more details to follow) but there'll still be plenty of time to get your thinking caps on.

Halfway through the year! Apparently Jacko has 43 singles in the top 200 this week, but it's not enough to keep La Roux off the top spot.

| 09:33 am - extravaganza, you should run and tell a friend
Once again, am just transfixed by Ciara's dancing here. The "betcha can't do it like me, me, me!" section, with the ponytail swinging like a lasso, is spectacular. LOVING the outfits too. One of Danja's best beats, too - love the way it switches to doubletime and the way he fucks with it towards the end.
That said, Missy needs to stfu with the elephantine bellowing. I wish they'd kept the explicit version, too, or at least replaced "bitch" with another syllable just to keep the rhythm. Still: minor gripes which I probably wouldn't have if I hadn't heard the Missy-free explicit demo, the first really worthy single off this tortuous Fantasy Ride campaign, and def one of the best videos this year. Now. Trillion-dollar action video for 'High Price', please.
