Hello again. As you can see Kat and I are sharing the podcasting load — not that it’s all that much of a burden. People send us pop and we put it on here. EASY. Well if people DO send us pop. This week is entirely thanks to just Pete and Me. And it doesn’t feel all that ‘pop’. Darren Hayes exempted — and he’s gone all concept album on us anyway.

send us the pop that’s getting you excited poptimism.podcast@googlemail.com

In case our bandwidth goes mental I will be downgrading the bitrate (or poss making it mono), so get it while it’s hot and clean. Ta ta, me ducks.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY Lesson Zero — one year old today. Woo!

Bit of an odd ‘lesson’ to celebrate this week. There’s new stuff and there’s pop — but what’s new isn’t pop, and what’s pop isn’t new. Not that that matters, we’ve had loads of great new pop over the last few weeks anyway.

However, now it’s time for a break. No podcast next week. The week after you’ll get “Year One — The Megamix” and then we’ll be back with the same mission, to bring some regular top poptimist sounds to you, our loyal FT readers.

Lessons are over though.

Thanks this week to The Songwriter, SteveM, Tom and Grace.

Thanks to Tom, Grace, Steve M, someone on the League of Pop, and the internet. (I can’t recall where the Uptown track came from, sorry whoever pointed me at it.).

Life begins at 40, and so next week there are going to be some changes to celebrate YEAR ONE of the podcast. I can’t tell you what now, because, well because I make this up as I go along and have no real idea. Except to repeat what I said last week, that unless I receive a massive number of new things to play I will supplement the usual sounds with a run down of my favourite tracks that we’ve featured in a super long edition.

Thanks to Grace, Tom and misc League of Pop ppl for this weeks sounds. Lots of new stuff here which i was close to saving up – but that would be against the whole point of the exercise. I think.

A fortnight from today (June 1st, coinciding with a Poptimism at the Union Tavern) will be exactly a year of these podcasts, and I’m hoping to bring you a bumper edition then. And if it’s not bursting with new stuff from you, I’m simply going to indulge myself with repeats of my favourite tunes from over the preceding 40-odd episodes.

But I still need stuff for next week’s regular podcast. So send stuff to: poptimism.podcast@googlemail.com

Thanks this week to Tom, Pete and Grace. Plus to mark number 30 I thought I’d go the extra (four minute) mile. Yes I’ve sprung for a proper version of Audio Hijack making this the first podcast over 10 minutes long. Woo. So there’s extra stuff found recently on LJ. I still couldn’t bring myself to put on Indian War Whoop. Sorry Tom. Hope you like it.

Submissions as usual please! Don’t let me feel like a fool blowing my audio-wad this week, only to get nothing for next week.

This is Anthony’s very own brand of Poptimism, and this time there’s a focus on the vocalist. Anthony:

“Here I am trying to work out something about quietness, and excess. The songs here seem great examples of theatrical phrasing, stage whispering, and the possibilities of being over the top without shouting, belting, mellisma, or other typical vocal tricks. I want to know what you can still do, when the mike is turned down.”

There’s a follow up, longer, post about these tracks coming up soon.

For those rightly concerned about the Neds as this week’s “indie cover”, see it as a prelude to next week’s (way) more thoughtful guest spot from Anthony Easton.

Well that’s not strictly true, I have a couple of tracks, but I’m going to skip one and come back refreshed next week. Let’s say it’s to celebrate the final NOW poll (NOW 64) over on the Poptimists LJ community.

Sorry to do this. We’ve been doing very well over the last 9 weeks, with getting on for 100 downloads each week, plus who knows how many in-line plays. I’m not that faffed about knowing precise stats on subscribers, but it must be in the same region (we have over twice as many “unique IP” downloads of the feed). And I’ve really enjoyed getting back into hearing more music, in a way that radio and telly has failed to do. Particular faves over the 9/10 eps would be: Klaxons, Barbara Morgenstern, DJ Ozma, C0up D3 B0ule, Paris Hilton (not the new single, no) and Xina, which I heard first from getting involved in this.

But like I say, this is just a one week holiday, and in anticipation of further fallow weeks, I have a proposition prompted by the internet’s very own mitya/blue_russian:

Poptimism Means…
I’m looking for your “Poptimism Means…” sets. Rather than me collecting the new and the great from everyone, how about an 8–10 minute mix of tracks provided by just one person – a guest podcaster for the week, with their state of pop address. A poptimist manifesto. A DJ set 2.0.

Suggestions or volunteers in the comments please! I figure you could either provide me with mp3s, a playlist, or even a 10 minute pre-mixed file if you liked.

Normal service will be resumed next week, but remember: who goes in the podcast? YOU DECIDE

Files and suggestions as always to poptimism.podcast@googlemail.com

LOOK! We’ve changed formats again*! Thanks to the mighty Podpress, not only is publishing this way easier for me, it integrates nicely into the FT site with a lovely inline player. I have tried quite hard to keep some continuity, so all the old rss URLs should be redirecting correctly, and the feed contains substantially the same info, with some bonus extra data.

Because this is a regular FT post, you can comment too, so if there are issues let me know.

*Again? Well early adopters here for Lesson Zero had to change the URL of the feed
