iFive - 17th Jun

iPod does pop is the message that the little white brick gave me in the last set of seven. Not content with rambling around with rock music, it decided to play songs which no regular bloke would usually admit to having - but rules are rules. I make no apologies for the summery plastic pop music on my iPod. There has to be a balance to offset angry guitars and angsty lyrics.

Emma Bunton (aka Baby Spice) has now got two solo albums. They'll never make it to Radio 1 playlists and perhaps were always destined for Radio 2 but it still says something that she has sold more records than Mel C (whose latest outing Beautiful Intentions belongs in the microwave).
Indeed Free Me sounds like it would have topped the charts in 1966, even the title track could have been in the opening sequence to a Bond film (those silhouetted bits).

1. Free Me - Emma Bunton
2. Kiss Kiss - Holly Valance
3. More More More - Rachel Stevens
4. Unforgiven II - Metallica
5. Take Back - Green Day
