XFM Music Response Top 7 but first a quick mention about a couple of NZ music happenings on this show last nite (or yesterday morning NZ Time) is that Steriogram were mentioned in the Pile of CDs they were giving away and also that they played the D4s "What I Want" for the first time which is the 1st single over there so lotsa (or at least a little bit of) bigupping NZ music going on in the UK right now

#7 - Maximo Park - Graffiti
damn good song ****

#6 - Athlete - Half Light
all good ****

#5 - Tears - Refugees
more goodness ****

#4 - Editors - Munich
sure it sounds alot like Interpol but its good ****

#3 - Oasis - Lyla
still not a big fan of this but its Ok ***½

#2 - Bloc Party - Banquet

#1 - Hard-Fi - Tied Up Too Tight
another awesome song *****

over to American pop and Z100 New York "Interactive 9@9"

#9 - Daddy Yankee - Gasolina (w/ N.O.R.E/Lil Jon)
go the reggaeton even tho its kinda just a way to get really dirty stuff on air past the censors of course I'm not sure of anything that its actually sayin (except for Lil Jons "YEAH!"'s and some of N.O.R.E's verse) but it is sposed to be really dirty

#8 - Killers - Mr Brightside
still all good ****

#7 - BEP - Don't MESS With My Heart
yep its another Retarded/It Started deal not bad @ all ***½

#6 - Kelly Clarkson - Behind These Hazel Eyes
slower than Since you been gone but still a bit more upbeat than breakaway I don't mind it kinda guilty pleasure *** kinda "awww" song kinda sounds like Avril tho

#5 - 50 - Candy Shop
and heres a dirty song where they do get away with alot **

#4 - Bowlin' For Soup - Almost
its almost making me wish "Pop-Punk/Boy Rock" would die but I still don't mind it, still kinda funny stuff going on ***

#3 - Gwen - Hollaback Girl
what else do ya need but Gwen & Cheerleaders? *** (and yea theres a bit or 2 in the video that parodies/tributes the "Mickey" video)

#2 - Back to the streets - Incomplete
DIE! and hey look they were in the first rant almost 5 years ago altho funnily enough I Didn't know it was them until the next day still knew it was a crap song tho (end of next month is the 5th anniversary Gwen was in there with No Doubt, but its not quite the same thing) DUD

#1 - Lonely Ol' Akon
all good ****

and in the "Why the hell not even though 3 pre show stations might be a bit too much" heres west coast pop KIIS Fm In LA's Top 9@9

#9 - Kelly Clarkson - Behind These Hazel Eyes

#8 - Will Smith - Switch
Stick to the Acting **

#7 - Natalie - Goin' Crazy (Spanglish version)
yea its not bad but still kinda boring **

#6 - Game/50 - Hate it or Love it
of course it seems the big "beef" that was going on for 50/Game was all because they both had new CDs out, still wouldn't mind getting the Game CD tho (definatly not feeling what I've heard of 50 tho, even though they are "pop" singles I guess) but yea like this alot even tho I do kinda wish I could place the sample, on this song theres also a remix out there with Mary J Blige on it that aint bad either but it only has 50s verse there

#5 - Backstreets - Incomlete
#4 - 50 - Candy Shop
#3 - BEP - Don't MESS w/ My Heart
#2 - Akons Still mr Lonely
and #1 is Gwen - Hollaback Girl

anyways, BIIIIIIIIIIIG New music week this week, the new White Stripes is out, and yea its awesome has a disco-like feel to it tho and it also sounds a bit like Beck but its a damn good song, the new Coldplay is kinda "More Of the Same" since its very similar to "Clocks" but within the album it should sound better, new Foo Fighters debuting tonight/early tomorrow morning morning as well

and song of the day: Gotta go for The Used AND My Chemical Romance covering Queen and David Bowies "Under Pressure"

been complaining a couple of weeks and what do ya know, Kaiser Chiefs album is out as well (Finally, well OK a couple of months to wait aint that bad) damn good stuff, 3rd UK Single "Everyday I Love You Less & Less"

haven't really been paying that much attetntion to whats going on in the nation for the last few days and what do ya know NZ Idol is coming back

and of course theres the new pope

FACE:OFF Time

#1 - Snoop/Pharell - Let's Get Blown
hey its just the same as "Signs" pretty much but its alright, but then I'm not exactly a fan of the more R&B section of R&G, more G less R haha (not that I've heard the album, just the singles) ** and again its kinda like a song where ya think that I've definatly heard part of that somewhere is the girl who does the "Can I Get My Thrills" part has been lifted from somewhere hasn't it?

Challenger - Grinspoooooooooon - Hold On Me
as seen on Rove (not) Live (in NZ) and yea all good ****

Fresh From The Fridge from Coke its the edge top 20, The most boring place you can be on a Wednesday is at a square dance in Taurunga with the grandparents

#17 - SEND THEM BACK TO THE STREETS!

Caro would normally be singing along and screaming but she's sick, (they both took laxatives?) Brad had no effect though so Brad gives her a call she's not actually watching Scrubs and is actually in bed also had an interesting day at the doctors getting a specific area (that would have something to do w/ the laxatives) "Examined"

#16 - Green Days on Holiday
well with all the money they've made from the CD I'm not surprised ****

#15 - Snoop/Justin - Signs
yea its not really terrible, probably the highest rating I've given a song Justin is involved with since "Where Is The Love" ***

Brad pays for your holiday it is actually school holidays thought that would've been just after easter or something but since I'm not at school anymore I don't notice these things as much, people having sex in the movie theater

HOOOOOOOOOOOOOKUP Tour (2) still going get your tickets (or just win em)

#14 - Ciara /Missy- 1,2 step
pretty boring now not bad and the next single "Oh" (with Ludacris does she have any songs by herself? hahah) aint bad either or it could be cuz shes lookin good in the video haha, but hey its got Ludacris on it at least **

again saying this verison was a remix but it is the video version and has always been what I've heard on thed American stations and yea was kinda annoyed with the other version they were playing for a while (why do I get annoyed with that when I don't like the song THAT much ? just was used to this version I guess even if I only listen to about a couple of hours or less of American pop radio a week) anyways movies are getting expensive

#13 - Ashlee - La La
annoying as hell DUD

#12 - He'll never need to be an Usher at a movie theater (no matter how expensive the movies are) - Caught Up

(forgot to mention that on the Generation Edge form I filled out so hey)

looking for Game geeks to win, hmmm Music Geek, Radio Geek, former Comic Geek, and I guess at stages I have been a bit a game geek but I'm not heavily into games plus I don't have an XboX

#3 - Jesse Mccartney - Beautiful Soul
ARGH DUD!, on the Madhouse tomorrow huh? guess the TV show is on or will be over here soon or something (I think its Summerland or something dunno if it has been on or anything since hey there isn't very much I find worth watching on TV at the moment or I'll just wait for the DVDs of the shows since I gave up watching them)

#2 - Wake Green Day When September Ends
of course it would've made perfect sense if this song came out around September since it would sound right (but then its kinda like that with seasons (which are usually the opposite for us since we're in another hemispere and all) or dates mentioned in songs Counting Crows "A Long December" came out around uhhh December all those years ago)

lost the winner for guessing #1 but heres someone else getting it

#1 - Wheres Savage & Akons Moonshine?
maybe the video should've been filmed in Mississippi instead of New York, they'd find plenty of Moonshine there
