Kerrang have been playing the 50 guilty pleasure of rock and so far I've liked almost every one of them. I have no guilt at liking a bit of Skater Boi, it's a catchy song. I do wonder what #1 will be. We're at 10 now. Hmmm, #9 is Kelly and Ozzy Osbourne, a bit of sap for a Monday, excellent.

After I post tonight, [livejournal.com profile] pop_newsletter will be taken over by [livejournal.com profile] rikes Thankfully you've all been spared my angst over that decision because I've kept it to email, but it came down to it was the right time. I would have only handed it to someone I trusted totally, and that's Rikes.

So, what was the top song? Or is this something they're doing over several days?

That can't have been an easy decision to make. I remember how hard it was to let go of [livejournal.com profile] kevin_daily and even if that situation was a bit different a comm you've started yourself and been running pretty much all by yourself really becomes something special. It must feel a bit easier to know that it's Rikes who's taking over, she's so meticulous and dependable.

It was Bon Jovi, Living on a Prayer. Another song I quite like. Obviously all my pleasures are non guilty *g*

It wasn't an easy decision. I ended up angsting all over Alice about how I'd be mass defriended because I'm really not logical at times.

Rikes is awesome. It couldn't be going into better hands.

I can't not like Sk8ter boy - I have muses inspired by that song! (I can't stand the soppy Osbourne family love fest, though)

***HUGS***

Sk8ter boy is fun! I like a lot of her songs, they all tend to have a nice beat to them. The Osbourne love fest is sweet like sugar x 1000. Especially when you watch the video too.

Thanks for listening <3

Thank YOU for all of your hard work! I know it's probably hard to give up something that you started so *hugs*. :-)

Yeah, pretty much. But Rikes is awesome, she'll have it ship shape and running amazingly in no time.

Thanks, honey.

Sometimes it's just time to move on to other things. I'm sure it's in good hands.

Yeah, and I know it's in the best hands possible.

In other news. I suspect when I wake up I'm going to have a big old post to pull together. MCR are on a roll.

I noticed that! Did you see Frank's picture of him smoking with mouse ears on? I laughed so hard when I saw that. I need to icon that!

I did! It's an amazing picture!

And now Mikey's just twittered 2 within a minute. I tell you, I'm going to wake up to a list a mile long, I know it. As for his t-shirt. I have no words.

Though he and Gerard get a thumbs down for their use of it's. After all our admiration about their grammar usage too.

You are going to have a list a mile long and multiple pictures too.

I don't think I get to call them on their grammar because I used "no" instead of "know" today. Some days, man, some days.

Well, I was proved wrong as it was Gerard who had a twitter marathon. Who would have guessed?

Yeah, I've had days of doing stuff like that. I hate when it happens in comments and you don't notice until it's too late to edit.

You've done such a fantastic job and everyone even vaguely involved in pop should be completely grateful for what you've done with that comm (I know I am). And [livejournal.com profile] rikes will do a great job so that's all hunkydory!

And I did probably one of my favourite ever shows to Sk8ter Boi. I love it!

*leans* Thank you. That means a lot.

Sk8ter Boi is such a fun song. I'm glad other people love it too.

I think once you've embraced the boyband shame, there are not many guilty pleasures left in pop music. :D

That is very true. All our pleasures aren't guilty in the slightest *g*
