Just want to know what's what, since Thomas is sharking MP3s as I type (if you believe him, which I do - he's a trustworthy chap).

Mike Daddino will be sending out the song list and ballots soon. BUT. Use this thread to say you want to take part, just to remind him.

― Tom, Tuesday, 23 October 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

I WANT TO PARTICIPATE, YES. Thank you.

― David Raposa, Tuesday, 23 October 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

i would like to take part. i promise not to use the space to talk about comic books or girls who smell of chinese food.

― jess, Tuesday, 23 October 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

I'd like to take part, if I can get my hands on the stuff concerned.

FOR PEOPLE WHO ARE THINKING 'WHAT THE FUCK':

The Freaky Trigger Pop Music Focus Group is basically a critical round-table discussing a selection of key pop singles from the last 6 months (pop = commercial music of whatever genre, in this instance). If you like pop, or just some pop, and you have the time to make comments on a bunch of singles and send your ballot to Mike via e- mail, you should take part! If you don't like anything much in the Top 40, or you know you won't have time, then best not to take part.

― Tom, Tuesday, 23 October 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

my life is incomplete w/o being part of this grand experiment

― anthony, Tuesday, 23 October 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Uh, yo. Right here y'alls.

― Sterling Clover, Tuesday, 23 October 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

I want in!

I'm hoping to have not heard any of the songs on the list.

― The Dirty Vicar, Tuesday, 23 October 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

I would very much like to do it again. I promise I'll actually put some effort into my comments this time, and that they'll be closer in quality to those of the second rather than the last focus group.

conceived and born under the double-sign of cliff richard yo: I say to thee, "Me too please!"

― mark s, Tuesday, 23 October 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Well, I've enjoyed more chartpop this year than any other.. but can I contribute anything of actual significance? I'll help bring down the Kylie scores, if Tom needs backup..

― Mitch Lastnamewithheld, Tuesday, 23 October 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

I would love to take part!!...use the super special e-mail address at top to contact me!

― james, Tuesday, 23 October 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

hi, me, yes please thank you!

― maura, Tuesday, 23 October 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Tom E: pop != just what's in the top 40. I know that you (surely) know this, and that what you said didn't necessarily preclude it. I am just inserting a pedantic-looking clarification.

― the pinefox, Tuesday, 23 October 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Of course I know this PF, but the focus group has tended to concentrate on Top 40 records. If you want a ballot you can of course have one.

― Tom, Tuesday, 23 October 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

I'd like to play too.

― Ed, Tuesday, 23 October 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

I regret missing it last time, so sign me up this time around, please!

― Robin Carmody, Tuesday, 23 October 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

i r asking for ballot now

― fat Hand, Tuesday, 23 October 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

I already know what it is, but I'm still going 'WHAT THE FUCK' anyway. Regardless, I'm in etc.

― Ned Raggett, Tuesday, 23 October 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

i r particularly looking forward to fatnick's input.

― jess, Tuesday, 23 October 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

I R going to kill myself if one more person posts that atrocity of the English language.

Oh, I guess I'll do it but be forewarned that all my reviews will consist of "CAN IT (ARTIST NAME HERE, OR GOOD NICKNAME FOR ARTIST), YOUR STORY IS BORING".

― Ally, Thursday, 25 October 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

count me in.

― ethan, Thursday, 25 October 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Please sir, may I have a focus group ballot?

― Dan Perry, Thursday, 25 October 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Yo, Daddino.. holmes. Slap me a ballot, yo.

― Brian MacDonald, Thursday, 25 October 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Okay, who DOESN'T want a ballot?

― Mitch Lastnamewithheld, Thursday, 25 October 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

I want to participate. Uh huh.

― Melissa W, Thursday, 25 October 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

I'm in a pop mood at the moment. Can I join in? Please?

― Graham, Thursday, 25 October 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

― Kris, Thursday, 25 October 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

What they said.

― Tim, Thursday, 25 October 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

I do, but as you know I want to be banned for not liking Eminem.

― Nicole, Thursday, 25 October 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Reading this thread, I can safely say that Ally r being miseryguts.

― DG, Thursday, 25 October 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

If I don't fill out a ballot, how can I chart my chart-pop progress?

― Josh, Thursday, 25 October 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

You can fill out my ballot for me, Tom - my response re: every song will be, "I R think that this track = ersky tractor, cf. scientifically proven SUX0R".

No, that's not funny.

― David Raposa, Thursday, 25 October 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Probably, but at least I talk shit about people to their face, call me miseryguts if you want but at least I'm not two-faced.

― Ally, Thursday, 25 October 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

I do want a ballot, but please don't send me one as I have this project thingie that I need to work on instead. Just wanted to say that I'm not antipartcipating, I'm like just nonparticipating or something. Thanks and stuff.

― Kim, Thursday, 25 October 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Oooh, yes, a ballot please.

― rosemary, Saturday, 27 October 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

I would like to take part in the aforementioned shenanigans.

― bnw, Saturday, 27 October 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Focus group ballots are now out. If you wanted one and didn't get one, we don't hate you - write to me. If you got one and didn't want one, sorry, just delete it. If you got more than one you shouldn't have so many e-mail addresses, and no you can't have more than one vote.

― Tom, Monday, 29 October 2001 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

I've already started writing my comments. It's fun! Thanks Freaky Trigger!

― james, Monday, 29 October 2001 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Can anyone join? I hate being left out of things.! Just tell me what I can do to help? Gale

― Gale Deslongchamps, Tuesday, 30 October 2001 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Mike, could you please re-send the Focus Group invite? I accidentally deleted it. Much appreciated if you could!
