The Focus Group

The first comment has to be that the Write-In votes and contributor's credits are coming - but I thought I'd get the main group up and allow myself some satisfaction. Now over to you....

O.K. I lamed out and didn't contribute. But here are some of my better disses:

Fatboy Slim, "Sunset (Bird of Prey)" (5.7)

Michael Mann. Los Angeles. Drug dealers.

Limp Bizkit, "Rollin'" (0)

Oh, isn't that pwecious? The lead singer for the world's biggest boy band for boys is growing up! Getting all anti-social, taking interest in GURLS, his voice modulating from hysteric sissy-boy to James Hetfield with lightning speed: yep, sure looks like Limp Bizkit will have to replace Lil' Fred Durst, just like they used to in Menudo.

Element 4, "Big Brother" (1.4)

Salacious gasps, angry shouts, ecstatic cries -- in short, everything the U.K. show had that the U.S.A. show didn't.

Moby, "Why Does My Heart Feel So Bad?" (0)

It's actually heartburn -- from the grilled-cheese sandwich Satan gave Moby in exchange for his soul.

Radiohead, "Idioteque" (2.3)

It is an incontestable fact that Thom Yorke's adenoids are bigger than his balls.

Aside from the occasional here and there, everything was quite grey this time around in terms of the actual songs. Which is why the Focus Group is so lovely, as it's much more entertaining than the music. ;-)

I'm far more pleased with my contributions than last time, when they were written in a rush and look pretty embarrassing now, though many others provided excellent writing. The singles, on the whole, weren't as strong as last time, but the contributions are probably slightly better, though I don't think I'm egotistical to say that some others' contributions probably haven't improved as much as mine.

Excellent work all round, though. Tom will have to put himself through it at least once more, I suspect :).

hmph. "idioteque" was the one song i really liked from _kid a_. didn't know it was a single though.
