Again: Music For April: 6aypril

Another year, another April and those who know a thing or two about my compilations they know this is time for a celebration. It’s hard to believe that this is the 6th anniversary of the compilations that made this possible. Gaypril came about as a robust dance offering of unapologetic pop beats. It was so successful that it sparked an idea. Not that I didn’t do compilations before these six years, but after that they were less sporadic and more structured. This one is another pop mainstream and eclectic mix. This is the fourth in a row, which means we are popped out but we are trying to keep with the month’s traditional theme. But, this means the next compilation will be one the we love listening to incorporating drab with folk with all the melancholy in the world. But, for now enjoy hip-shaking fun.

We don’t eat sugar. At all. Instead, we decide to fulfill our penchant for everything sweet and gooey through audio. Yes, this month’s mix is an unashamed straight-up offering of pop music. So much pop to make you pop. It’s like a 22-course meal of sweets. Will it make you throw up, maybe? But, at least you had fun eating.

Legendary Swedish pop band ABBA has been named as one of the acts to be inducted into the Rock And Roll Hall of Fame in 2010. They will be given the title along with Iggy Pop’s Stooges and Genesis, a band that gave birth to Peter Gabriel and Phil Collins. Not bad for a band that was once critiqued to be too bubblegum euro-poppy and now stands as a pillar in the history of modern music. We love pop.

Janet Jackson performs on X-Factor

Janet Jackson is doing all the promo she can to sell her greatest hits package titled Number Ones in the US and The Best in other place. It contains one new track, which is not going to draw in many people. So, she needs to put it out there. She’s not looking too good nowadays, her attire is too conservative. Her wardrobe needs a revamp or, maybe, another malfunction? You decide.
