Blogwatch #001
|
 To make up for my absence, I think it's high time I invested a bit of web-space to a blogerati round-up. Here's the online goodness that's been fondling my senses whilst I should be studying...
The woman to your left is the little-known sister of Dannii Minogue. She's looking a bit spectacular right now and xolondon has some lovely shots of her for your viewing pleasure. There is also a tidbit on the new Garbage track (thank you xo!) and a pretty accurate review of the new Sophie Ellis-Bextor album. Unless I decide to withdraw it, my review of that should be online tomorrow some time.
The gorgeous Paul and his Zapping are "fizzing at the slit" over Maroon 5 at the moment. I'm yet to listen to the album in full but I have bought it solely on Paul's recommendation, so if I dislike it I'll know who to send the receipt to. Paul was even lucky enough to have a chin wag with the quite-good-looking Adam Levine. FANTASTIC read.
Samuel's VERY ACTUAL LEGENDARY The Hotstuff Files somehow manages to get better as the days roll on. Today there is a piece on Steph McIntosh's UK launch, and how pop is always better in Australia. TELL THAT TO THE THOUSANDS OF AUSTRALIAN'S WHO MADE SANDI THOM, HINDER, EVERMORE AND MISSY FUCKING HIGGINS NUMBER BLOODY ONE ON THE SINGLES CHARTS THIS YEAR. And would you believe that in the space of a couple of weeks, Hotstuff and the ace Pop Trash Addicts have made mention of Girlband? One day I'll write up my story with photographic evidence of their ridiculous children's clothing line at K-Mart. Oh yes folks, I'm actually being serious. In the meantime, you can read other things I've said about them.
Fun Fongo is one of those new sites I cannot stop "refreshing". Great content, very very funny stuff, bookmark this baby.
Speaking of Aussie pop, there is a heavy mention of IAR favourite/possibly convicted drug user Katie Underwood over at the rather delightful A Kind Of Love In. Pinkie's pretty ace, yeah?
The TV advert for the alarming new range of Sugababes Barbie dolls can be found at Bop Pop. Seeing is believing kids...
The mardy CFBGoesPop girls have got a hilarious few pieces on things that are better than Lily Allen. When I asked my mother what she thought was better than Lily Allen, she said "world war". We've already established my mother is not Lily's biggest fan in the past.
Speaking of Lily Allen, Chartrigger has a bit on the whole Cheryl Tweedy v Lily saga, which I refuse to talk about on the website because I think both of them are being absolute fuckwits. J'ason - calling Lily a "two-bit transexual" will certainly make my mothers day when I tell her tomorrow.
Robpop over at Don't Stop The Pop! is predicting a girlband revival of 2007. Yet another blog mention of Girlband! That crazy Columbian group who've covered The Aloud's "Something Kinda Ooooh" were mentioned first at the Pop by the way, further cementing why they're a bit fucking good at what they do down there.
NEW TIFFANY VIDEO CLIP OVER AT ELECTROQUEER!! Raj is my newest MySpace friend who's site I heart, PS.
There is talk of Deborah Hutton liking the cunt over at Luke's brill Billable Units. I HAVE IT ON VERY GOOD AUTHORITY SHE'S QUITE THE RUG MUNCHER.
William's marvellous Fop has looked into the Young Divas crystal ball, predicting big things in the form of 90's dance classics in their future. I may talk on this topic a little more next week some time.
Londonboy has more nice-to-look-at shots of Dima Koldun wearing next to nothing.
I am not the only one who enjoyed Geri Halliwell's "Passion" album apparently. And neither are the lovely people down at Lost In Limbo...
The fabulous Patrick gets into gritty detail on the worst Coles Supermarket in Canberra. Hilariously good read.
R.I.P. Popalastic, you're being missed already :(
One of my must-visit-daily reads is Pop Poster Girl's totally primo blog. Is this lady one of the pop worlds best bloggers? Yes, yes she is. A favourite story of mine this week is about a boy with lovely eyes.
Both the brilliant Scott, 2 Be Certain and Popjustice discuss Kelly Clarkson's new album cover. Hopefully what's on the actual CD isn't as shit as that new single.
New bookmarks added to the side link-up this week, including fellow Geelong-boy Glenn's remarkable Stale Popcorn, It's like 2 Unlimited; but it's not - it's Pop Unlimited, more goodness at Whudahexup!, and the charming Worrapolava, which I added about a month ago but keep forgetting to mention.
Also, Retro Remixes is one of the greatest new websites you will visit.
GOOD DAY TO YOU ALL! See you in a few hours for Sophie EB stuff.
