100 Popped: A New It's Dan MacRae Experiment
Hi. I’m Dan MacRae from the blog It’s Dan MacRae. A little while back I stumbled across Channel 4’s list of “The One Hundred Worst Pop Records” (of all the time presumably). I like to think I possess a fair chunk of knowledge of bad pop records and UK pop culture, but I was surprised to find that I’ve only actually listened to half the songs mentioned on this...
This has got me hyped up enough to flip a tank....

Pow! It’s the It’s Dan MacRae World Cup 2010 Preview. Complete with the glaring flaws and lack of research you wouldn’t get anywhere else.
Spain: In 2008, Spain managed to do the unthinkable: They met expectations. While Portugal, England and Holland have both albatrosses n’ crosses (albacrosses?) of lengthy droughts to lug about, Spain is finally free to bask in the glow of previous...

Brazil: Ronaldinho’s out, which means those (goofy but tremendous) Nike ads are bound to look a bit silly. Kind of makes you wonder why they wouldn’t elect to swap Ronaldinho out for Kaka in the first place. Nike probably passed because Kaka...

Italy: The only time I’ve ever turned down sex in my life was to watch Italy play France in the 2006 World Cup championship game. (I should clarify that I rarely turn down sex because for me the option of sex is rarely available. It’s not ...

Netherlands: Holland received a favourable qualifying draw and proceeded to decimate their opponents in impressive fashion. It was a bit like Tony Jaa being given carte blanche to knee the shit out of a gang of fourth graders and not electing to hold...
FAIRGROUND ATTRACTION – “Perfect” →
I have always had a a weird soft spot for “Perfect” (and possibly worse, “Clare”), but Tom Ewing’s analysis of the song’s biggest flaw is too precise to pass up.

Germany: After years of playing cautiously (and giving Oliver Kahn’s excellent sideburns a chance to shine in 2002), Germany’s going to give this “attacking” business a shot. It’d be nice to have Michael Ballack available to...
