The only thing that will keep me away from Bliss is Avian Influenza!
I'm really hoping you guys will play some
Super Insurgent Group of Intemperance Talent. Or at least some Sophie Ellis-Bextor. But whatever you do, we pay to hear requests, stop playing your own agenda!

Sophie Ellis-Bextor > Annie
Ellis-Bextor performs a much more entertaining live show than Annie.

To be honest, I don't even know who the fuck Annie is, I just like Bliss!
ps - "Take me Home" is a better song than "Murder on the Dance Floor"

Annie = Kylie for Bloggers
Madonna > Kylie > Annie (whose first big hit featured a Madonna Sample)

but SEB is pure lowest-common-denominator euro trash created for retarded pasty brits on some package tour in crete, annie at least has some interesting beats and much catchier hooks … but, like i said, both of them are pretty low on the totem pole
they did play annie (chewing gum, i believe) on grey's anatomy a couple of weeks ago … um, i mean, laguna beach … no … shit ….

Don't get me wrong I'm all for catchy mindless pop, as evidenced by the recent acquistion of Madonna's latest, and Annie's output is better than most. But were it not for the Basement Jaxx and Madonna samples it wouldn't have never gotten the hype it has in blogsphere.

Your quote Annie = Kylie for Bloggers made me laugh out loud, seriously, but I'm not sure I'm following you here: what does Basement Jaxx have to do with Annie? Remember, Richard X and Royksopp do production on Anniemal and "The Greatest Hit," the track which samples Madonna, was only about 1/20th as popular as "Heatbeat," which Pitchfork (although I shudder to make reference to it) called 2004 song of the year…

I totally agree! The second record was a major disappointment. Not even the remixes of "Only This Moment" came close to the first record in terms of engaging dance music.

Howdy Doom! Hope you didn't pick up the Avian Flu on your travels abroad. I have to admit, I'm a bit intolerant of the Super Insurgent Group of Intemperance Talent, but perhaps they'll grow on me? I'll do what I can re. the SEB and if that isn't europop enough I've some Robbie Williams, too! :) See you Friday!

their show in NYC in october was really weird … so strange to hear the melody a.m. songs in the context of the much poppier new album, they blew up the crowd though

how is the latest robbie…. his more recent stuff has been pretty stinky, is stephen "tin tin" duffy up to returning robbie to the those fab early singles?
