If astrology was anything other than inspiration for insecure idiots then i'd say there must a triangular alignment that currently omitting some incredible influence on the bloggers, reviewers, journo's and radio stations of our good friends ISOSCELES...Within a short space of time they've managed to stir up such incredible goodwill towards themselves that i'm honestly unsure sometimes whether they've managed to include some kind of subliminal message in their songs...and that message may have hooked everyone as much as it did us because it seems we're all in agreement...ISOSCELES are going to be one's to keep an eye on this year...Just follow the trail of plaudits.....from Radio One / Six and XFM to Artrocker and a million great music zines/blogs it seems everyone wants a promo of the new single....So here it is, a double sided delight from our three sided heroes...

So we find ourselves in each other's company again, wel it's good to see you kid, what you drinking? Me I'm on a detox, herbal teas and argumentative blueberry muffin tops. She says we've had too much, she says a lot of things, that dear cat's never been short of mothers. You must mee my friend Moonbear, a well respected collector of fine footwear, he'll see you good for drinks but make sure you tie your shoes. You couldn't meet a more honest octopus than Mr Folktopus, he told me the future is in computers, I'm not so sure. I recorded a pop song that likes to call itself "Do The Circus Circus" "on a half dead home computer. Poor old boy fell right off the edge, we had to rip him open, they made his brain a slave, to whom i still don't know. I had resigned myself to the loss and then I got a call telling me she had been washed up on Branscombe beach, straddling a motorcycle and drinking grog without the water, mumbling something about the the bass bins in Fabric.

So then Folks...you have to question the entire process that's led you to check out Art Goes Pop...was it one of the bands that tipped you off?Maybe ye Olde "INDEPENDENT" record shop..you know the kind of shop that is staffed by music lovers not automatons.....was it some web link or cut and paste fanzine?Maybe one of their more well known and glossier cousins...could it be that underground/overground (I'll resist saying the wombling bit) radiostation...maybe it was thru a link of a link of a link of a...Well you have arrived now...maybe not in the style we both would have liked but you're here and that's what matters....So whether A+R guy/gal...music lover....adventurer...or just plain fluke merchant...welcome to ART/GOES/POP...Fab...ever persuasive..Mentioned something about reclaiming the true meaning of DriveTime...Those whose eyes are already glancing in this general textual area will have noticed the result of our efforts..a natty A/G/P mix-tape player obviously without the enviro-burn of the motor car add-on...feel free to flick thru our cassettage,those wanting something a little more "permanent" should check the Fab Babble.......for take-away and tracklisting facilities..

We are Art Goes Pop....

WE ARE THE NEW POP

YOU ARE THE NEW POP


....welcome aboard
Some say that maybe it’s all about the fame game, but should you find yourself bedazzled by new for NEWS sake then perhaps this mindset has slowly dripped in amongst the splashes created by glob after frothy glob of society fall-out...that radioactive frizzle-fry pushed upon us all. I’m not talking in brightly coloured OVERTS here, no we can all see quite clearly the pool in which the MOSS gathers and the fame hungry swim (besides, i suspect that particular pool will be dried out by the SUN pretty soon...que the backlash game)...No i’m talking about a particularly tricksome item here...Some might think it RETROSPECTIVE SICKNESS, BAND-WAGONING or even my particular yelp SCENE-HOPPING...But what i’m upsetting about here is not quite that easy to get by with...SOOOOO without further ado ART GOES POP will give you a little think-over treatment in the form of a reflect....We’re all guilty of this thing...ALL OF US, but it’s the increments in which we’re found guilty that tell the story..and it’s a story oft told. Forget the old myriad reasons to be bored of a scene, to yawn off a bunch of previous favoured films, to wear that nose-upturned when flicking through books...i’m not at all interested in that...that’s a bone long been picked over before. This particular (and obviously hard to quantify) thing i’m urging towards...whether you know the jargon or not (actually forget it...before you have a bout of JARGON FATIGUE), well it’s not too important, but what is important is that you already KNOW that you already KNOW what i’m hinting at....Ever found yourself not trying the NEW because of some invisible barrier? Ever already decided what you DON’T like before even sampling that particular onion?How about NOT checking out the latest thing because ’You’ve heard it all before’...Diluted i guess it’s like that recommended book that umpteen friends said was a must read...you know eventually you’ll give it a go once the invisible barrier gives...and when you do perhaps you too will be cultish enough to push it...but it’s that fear...fear of the horde perhaps, KNOW- CONFORMITY taken to it’s extreme, how to be hip surrounded by non-hipness eh? I’m not saying that we should immerse ourselves Da Vinci like into some dreary daytime television haze...We ALL can sniff out a stinker for sure...but what about the bubbling under brilliance that’s pushed upon you by your immediates? We’re no slouches here at Art Goes Pop when it comes to seeking the new but sometimes after something has been cut and dried up we’ll occasionally poke over it to see what we missed....And boy are we glad when we do? The cynical SCENE it all before clique can smirk all they want, but not there’s no shame in not being wired into knowing about a trillion bands at once, and nor should anyone EVER take the superior route, bully-browing simply because a kid, perhaps, hasn’t heard of the SILVER APPLES or seen STROSZEK... My testiment to this is that I remember always seeing Gang Of Four albums and singles whenever i went record shopping yet never checking them out...then years later when EVERYONE claimed to have been massive fans FOREVER i finally was immersed, thanks to a compilation of their stuff given to me by a friend and the hunt was on.......and maybe a lot of fibs are told when people claim to have heard this and watched that BUT as long as YOU dear reader don’t get caught up in the OLD RAZZLE DAZZLE you’ll be ok. There’s no shame in admitting you weren’t in the audience at the first ever Big Benny And The Bangers Gig..there’s no shame in admitting you have not one jot of an idea what the word MODERNISM means....but it IS A SHAME if you let this alter your state, shake your bake or crush your NEW....Don’t let CELEBRITY shuffle you off what’s real and what’s not...it’s truly more important to sample EVERYTHING since your taste is your own, than be stuck fly-like upon the sticky game of cynicism and critique...Don’t let the drips splish splash all that remains of your taste away, there is a middle ground that you must traverse, but if you find yourself frothing over with criticalness for things you’ve not even gawped at yet then it’s time to reach for the D.I.Y. cure...and literally DO IT YOURSELF, yep you might sample some yuk along the way but perhaps you’ll get along with the ’Terribly obvious 3rd album’ or the ’Overated 60’s filmaker’...Or maybe you won’t but at least you’ll have decided yourself eh?....
