Cold’ rap about city heats up on Web Adam Graham / Detroit News Pop Music Writer It’s so cold in the D, but it’s even colder on the Internet. One of the hottest clips on the Net over the last week has been a music video titled “It’s So Cold in the D Continue

I, like many of you, forced myself to sit through nearly all four long days of the Democratic Convention; albeit with my trusty mute button ever ready for protection from long-winded attempts at oratory and worn-out pop-music ditties. And, as Continue

Customer Review: Masterpiece
This is a very good album and even features some ultra-rare variants of popular songs like “Love Machines” by The Girls Aloud and “It Is A Sin” by Pet Shop Boys. It is not as “mixed” as you may have been led to believe though, with songs often just vaguely blending into one another. Infamous mixmaster McSleazy is capable of much better, although it is still a work of art. Overall: Perfection.
Customer Review: 100% pop… 100% brilliant
This album has one aim… to get us listening to pop again. And when the pop is this good then why wouldn’t we? The album is wonderfully mixed together making it one huge dancefest and even poppy remixes of some indie tracks sitting alongside of mainstream pop songs and some obscure (and even exclusive) songs. Highlights include… Love Machine Demo by Girls Aloud - the only place this is available… with completely different lyrics to the original. It takes a while to get used to but you can still dance to it! Chelsea by Stefy - this is great, it samples the Eurythmics and is simply sublime… Lights Go Out by Client - another exclusive, and its amazing! Dear Jimmy by Sophie Ellis Bextor - A brand new track from the fabulous Bextor and oh-my-god… its great Biology - Radio Edit/Lamezma Remix by Girls Aloud - This was by far one of the best moments on the whole CD… words really can’t describe how great this is so I won’t try Although I admit I am a fan of the Popjustice website I haven’t always checked out the artists they recommended to me, well now I have and I will checking out more of them. The quotes on the front sum this up perfectly so I’ll end with those… “Genius - 22 tracks of eccentric and euphoric pop” NME “Popjustice has impeccable taste” Guardian “I’ve been waiting my whole life for this album” Cheryl Cole
