This Is This

I discovered yesterday that there are at least three parties which are almost identical to an S Club party.

I actually like pop music. I shouldn’t even have to say actually, like I’m defensive. I like pop music.

Say You’ll Be There by Spice Girls
Don’t Stop Moving by S Club Seven
Push The Button by Sugababes
Life Is A Roller Coaster by Ronan Keating
Rudebox by Robbie Williams
Beautiful by Christina Aguillera
Baby One More Time by Britney Spears

All good. Then there’s your classic disco pop, your Abbas, your Michael Jacksons, you Bees Geeses, about whom I’ll not have a word said.

I don’t like all that elitist crap about not liking something because it’s popular. Sure, I’ll listen to Tom Waits and pour through old book stores in the old quarter of Nice, but I’ll always celebrate popular things.

If I could choose between having a blog which was popular and one which was acclaimed by a few people, I’d go for the numbers ever time. That is if I could write exactly the same. But yeah, link me up. Put me in facebook, I don’t care. All I ask if the opportunity to prove that millions of page impressions a day wouldn’t change me.

I’m off from tomorrow for a short break, for a few days full of books, beers and saunas, and not work, but posts will keep happening here, sure as the sun will come up, as natural as the rising and falling of your breath.

If I don’t reply for a bit, that’s why. If your comments are held in moderation, then I’m sorry and I will return on the good ship This Is This to run it aground and storm the beaches of approval, carried on the waves of- oh you get the fucking idea.

Virtual me tomorrow. Actual me soon after.

Ambient news is where the consumer is so immersed in facts and events that they are not even aware that they are being informed.
