Your toxic gun, stick it under

This by Momus is good on a number of things: the exhaustion of the concept of youth, the notion of meta-pop (which is poised somewhere between Eppy’s Pop II and Pop III, it would seem), and the Orientalist majesty of the new Britney (it would make a great 007 theme, as M rightly points out). Yeh: ‘Toxic’ is by far and away the best Pop single of the year so far.

    Let me be first to second Momus’s entreaty at the end of that piece that you check out Ivor Cutler!

    It seems pretty clearly to be Pop-II to me. Maybe pop-I.5 in some cases and even Pop-I for some songs, but I don’t think much beyond that.
    Thanks for linking this–I need to comment at more length later.
