Again for the First Time
Well, dear reader, what can we say?
The new series of the Lollards of Pop got pushed back to this week, a huge stroke of luck for all of us dreading having to play – and/or listen to – the controversial winner of our Most Dangerous Album poll. Our new series will start at 7pm BST (2pm EST) this Thursday, on Resonance FM 104.4 in London (streaming available). And that’ll be our slot for awhile.
In place of the DANGEROUS poll, we have a brand new poll to dread the results of. Voting and Youtubes after the jump…
Which one of these songs by children is just a bit better than the others?
- Kris Kross - "Warm It Up" 38%
- Willow Smith - "Whip My Hair" 25%
- Smoosh - "Free to Stay" 13%
- Kaci - "Paradise" 13%
- S Club Juniors - "One Step Closer" 13%
- BreZe - "My Heart Goes Boom" 0%
- Aaron Carter - "Shake It" 0%
- Old Skull - "Homeless" 0%
Total Voters: 8
Poll closes: 15 Sep 2010 @ 03:45

How to do a cover version
10 Aug 2004 Distilled from several years of pop experience, here from the WORST to the BEST are ways to approach a cover version. The Acoustic Guitar: i.e. “Any good song will sound great on an acoustic guitar”, runs the prized nugget of MOJO wisdom which results in Travis mauling “…Baby One More Time”. Culprits throw up their […]Pokémon X And Why
9 Jan 2013 GET UR FROAK ON While most of my online acquaintances were geeking out today at the thought of a new David Bowie album, our house was far more excited by the announcement of new Pokémon games – Pokémon X and Pokémon Y, the first on Nintendo’s 3DS console(1). The announcement was made by the President […]I WAS A GOBLIN: Encyclopaedia Goblinica
25 Jul 2006 Or: Games I Have Known. For the sake of my patience and yours, I have mostly restricted this to games I either owned or played – ones where I read a friends’ rulebooks and only dimly remember have been ignored, with a couple of notable exceptions. If you want to know more about any of these, […]ELTON JOHN – “Candle In The Wind ’97” / “Something About The Way You Look Tonight”
27 Mar 2014 #774, 20th September 1997 Every Popular entry starts with the same question: why this record? This time it’s especially loud. “Candle In The Wind ‘97” is the highest-selling single of all time in the UK, almost 2 million clear of its nearest competitor. This is as big as pop gets. But “why?” might strike you […]The Freaky Trigger Reader’s Poll 2011: #10-#1
10 Jan 2012 Hi, I’m Lauryn Hill circa my breakthrough role in Sister Act 2: Back In The Habit, and it is a real pleasure to be able to present to you the top ten FreakyTrigger tracks of the year. When my mother told me I couldn’t join the choir run by a fake nun, I got really […]LOW – Christmas
24 Dec 1999 Low’s Christmas tree is a simple one, with eight plain wooden baubles. The band write four tracks themselves, offer interpretations of two carols and crooners’ favourite “Blue Christmas”, and nobody’s bothered to take credit for “Taking Down The Tree” (but it sounds like one of Low’s own). The record is packaged – beautifully – like […]MICHAEL JACKSON – “Billie Jean”
18 May 2009 #516, 5th March 1983 Michael Jackson came to the title “King of Pop” in the style of a medieval ruler, carving out his realm piece by piece across a hard year of campaigning. He won some of his new subjects when he performed this song as part of a Motown anniversary special: others when he […]The Bible Of Badness: GENESIS
14 Nov 2006 In The Beginning There Was Nothingness. IF ONLY. In The Beginning There Was The Word. NOT THE BIRD FROM L7 PULLING DOWN HER KECKS AGAIN. But neither of these are strictly true. Because the first book of the Bible Of Badness is Genesis. And if you were ever to question how bad this Bible could […]

Wrong S Club Juniors tune bub.
Write-in votes welcome!!
Jump by Kriss Kross isn’t eligible because then there would be no contest? Me and the other miggety miggety miggety miggety Mack Daddies will write that in one million times.
Though iTunes sez not enough reviews to rate it, the web version has this single five star review:
Smashing *****
by jonkyforce
It is refreshing to find work of such genius available for free to the listening public.
#3 … exactly!
I take it that “My Boy Lollipop” and “Fingertips Pt. 2” and “The Locomotion” and “Dur Dur D’être Bébé!” were disqualified for similar reasons. Is there a specific age limit here? Several of these people were old enough for bar/bat mitvahs (Kaci and the Kris Krosses that I know of, and probably Aaron).
I’d like to put in a good word for Rock Jack’s “Toilet Master.”
Oh, and I’d have voted Willow, but you closed the poll on me before I had the chance.
I’d completely forgotten about Breze, and in rediscovering the full depths found one of their members (YouTube title co-star Jodie Miller, in fact) has launched a Facebook group called ‘BREZE REUNITED!!!’, with the not entirely all-encompassing description “breze popgroup re united!!” On the wall she’s copied in every piece of online press about the band she can find, all of it heavily negative, at which someone with the same surname has posted this:
“Jod how about some of the GREAT press breZe got too ?? there was loads; just for the record and for the doom mongers (PETE WATERMAN) ALL of the girls are happy and well balanced young ladies and the “breZe” experience did them nothing but good”
Yeah, so much are they over it they’re starting vague unexplained Facebook groups containing 43 members a decade later.
