Empire of the Sun - Walking on a Dream (Album)

Magic Dance?

Is this fabulous because I am in my thirties and remember the film Labyrinth? (The album cover is wondrous) Or is this fabulous because it sounds like some sort of 80’s AOR and Dance hybrid? Either way, after only two listens, I’m hooked.

Catchy? Yes.

Cheesy? Certainly.
Perfect Pop? I think so.

PSB – Love Etc.

Hooray

Pet Shop Boys and Xenomania introduce us to the fruits of their labour with this strong opening single. I won’t tire you with gushing superlatives as I love PSB. Popjustice, as expected, adores it too.

Taylor Swift – Love Story

Total Arse

Occasionally I wish it were feasible to open up my head and turn off the ‘I love shit music’ switch. The most recent track from US Country legend, Taylor Swift (aged 19) is a Cheesy, Sickly, Saccharin, Teen, Country Pop Bundle. I imagine U.S. teens will be wetting themselves and slipping off the sofa in sheer excitement over the air brushed Romeo & Juliet style video. Please excuse me for this post. I love the song. Why oh why oh why…
