Hi guys what did I miss?

n/m

never understood why he didn't just call himself H. Kevin Miller to differentiate himself

It'll never catch on here though

can't believe people are fighting over ownership of this pathetic term

lol homosexuals

a direct-line descendant of the Xenomania template ILM was sucking off a few years back

Apparently women can also perform fellatio these days. Truly feminism has struck yet another blow for equal rights.

another blow job for equal rights!!!

so now you're hating on women too now. typical...

Acrobatty boy, morelike

i thought wonky just meant affected 'weirdness'/'QUIRKINESS'.

ugh son

Wonky Pop

Biography

So much has happened in 2008, so let us reflect: The Olympics have passed once more; Elbow won a Mercury; The credit crunch ‘crunched’; The Wispa came back; But perhaps the most memorable part of 2008 is the movement that is Wonky Pop.

Wonky Pop was the first to say “C’mere Alphabeat you lovely Danes, you’ve got great taste in music and you know how to have a good time”. They were the first behind Frankmusik and The Clik Clik. Wonky Pop actually changed lives all round the country by putting Sam Sparro on a tour with Sneaky Sound System. If that wasn’t enough Wonky Pop pulled London’s club scene out of drought and set a precedent for live music and good times as they hosted a monthly night at Cargo, showcasing the best upcoming acts.

Wonky Pop strives to bring an eclectic mix of new artists that capture their ethos. slightly off-kilter, dazzlingly special and ultimately very pleasing. Expect weird and wonderful sights, amazing performances, secret guests, everything from the bizarre to the down right saucy!

Wonky Pop will perform at The Big Chill 2009.

Whoever co-opted Fred Falke into this abomination can cock off, by the way.

Tired of chart pop that's all manufactured groups and reality TV shows? Just as fed up of bland indie? Then Wonky Pop might just be the thing for you. Alexis Petridis reports.

...

The Wonky Pop artists are unmanufactured but unashamedly melodic and capable of playing live without recourse to lashings of dry ice, troupes of dancers and an interlude during which they fly around the stage on wires. As well as Alphabeat, it features the vaguely psychedelic pop-soul of Leon Jean-Marie, a dreadlock-sporting refugee from a Damage-style boyband who once toured with Steps, and Vincent Frank, a wiry 23-year-old who plies an intense brand of self-produced electro-pop under the name Frankmusic.

I missed all that awesomely puerile LBZC flag-waving yesterday. Top marks, fellas.

might as well vote in the Nazis now and have done with it.

You don't say?

I am listening to Sneaky Sound System right now, for the first time. It is some garbage really. Not very wonky or pop. MOR SMD is how I break it down to an extent. Some lazy zing reviewer should do something with the fact that the line "I love it" is sang so it it sounds exactly like "I loathe it". Or just not review it at all.

Frankmusik's 'In Step' is good

I honestly don't get what Alphabeat have to do with any of this, being as they're just a Scandipop act with Deacon Blue production. I mean, are fucking Operator Please wonkypop as well?

Presumably they have the same PR agency and are mates with someone at Popjustice?

Which is the enrique i miss? I miss him anyways.

Also "I love It" is good, back of hataz.

^^^fair play

Rudebox is a British term meaning unsteady, shaky, awry or Scottish.

but click the link to the rudebox site and you end up at the ATP site ?

i got Mika

"Site for Rudebox" link ..

Vandalbots transform and roll out.

"Unsteady, Shaky, Awry, and Scottish" = an unfortunate law firm consisting of dwarves

Wikipedia becoming more and more like an ILX clusterfuck thread every day...

Predicting this guy Dan Black's cover of 'Hypntz' (sic) by Notorious BIG will be met with universal praise on ILM

the name 'urge overkill' has never been funnier in any context
