pop!
by Sean
Please note: MP3s are only kept online for a short time, and if this entry is from more than a couple of weeks ago, the music probably won't be available to download any more.
FreakyTrigger returns. This is the great UK webzine that boldly, articulately declared that chartpop was good music too. It spawned I Love Music and NYLPM and more. Tom Ewing (plus ILM) is what got me to be able to agree that the "All the Things She Said" kicks ass, and it's largely responsible (i imagine) for Pitchfork's recent acceptance of pop. Yes, the pop-heads are teaching the indie-kids a thing or two.
So Freaky Trigger has relaunched, and it's now a zine with movies and food and stuff, rather than just music. Which is fine. But you know what? There's not one article on there right now that is worth reading. Ie, their inaugural content is boring, indulgent and poorly formatted. sigh.
Better will come, though, I imagine (hope?).
