Well, it's been awhile, but Moe is persistent in his need for pop, so here are many of my favorite pop tunes from 2006. I've had the pleasure of discovering a lot of pop from all over the world through mySpace, which, despite its many annoyances, is a gold mine for the seeker of fine pop songs. Especially if you can't get to Sweden.

Fuck yeah on Johnny Boy - I keep thinking they're going to hit it big because they're so damn poptacular. Irene, Mojave 3, Carrots, Radio Dept., and Asobi Seksu can't be denied, either, and I'm looking forward to finding out what tracks 1-5 sound like, assuming they're still available on myspace. Viva pop!

Wow! The amazing otter boy has come out of hibernation! Yes, this does fulfill my ongoing need for pop. I echo the "fuck yeah" on Johnny Boy, and further enthusiastic expletives go out to St. Etienne, Mojave 3, Irene, Sambassadeur and the Radio Dept. Perhaps we can trade again for old time's sake.

Love the Irene track and the amazing Spectoresque Johnny Boy track. Research definitely needed on the stuff I don't know.
