Amazing x5
Here's a quintuple dose of awesome to kick off your weekend:
1) Alesha Dixon's new single
Through the medium of mambo, Alesha is reaching out to her two, distinct audiences - (a) People who mourn the passing of Mis-Teeq (b) People who only know her because of Strictly Come Dancing.
The Boy Does Nothing is the name of the song, and I can prove to you how amazing it is in just 20 seconds:
There's more on Alesha's MySpace.
2) Ninja Cat is comin' to getcha
3) Ben Folds Five and Regina Spektor
My two favourite people who sit behind a piano and sing at the same time have sat behind two pianos and sung at the same time as each other. Result = Brilliance.
Ben Folds - You Don't Know Me (feat Regina Spektor
4) Barack Obama visits the West Wing
Aaron Sorkin takes time out from writing a movie about Facebook (the mind boggles) to imagine what advice The West Wing's Jed Bartlett would give the current Democratic Presidential Candidate.
:: Jed & Barack [New York Times] Warning: Socks will be blown off.
5) A Girls Aloud video with a budget in excess of £2.50
Girls Aloud - The Promise
Trivia: I interviewed Kimberley yesterday. She was tired, but very polite.
The End.

A milestone is reached
Crivvens! This is officially the 1,000th post on Discopop Directory. The majority of the content has, if I'm honest, mostly been flim, flam and piffle. But that's what the internet was invented for, surely?
To celebrate our first millennium, here is a Muxtape with the top 12 tracks from the first three-and-a-half years of the blog's lifespan (click on the picture or go to discopop.muxtape.com to load it up).
And for those of you who don't "do" the whole Muxtape thing, here's the whole lot in MP3 format. Don't tell the record labels, though. They'll cut me up and spread me on their toast.
TRACKLISTING
1) Nelly Furtado - Maneater
2) Gnarls Barkley - Crazy
3) Girls Aloud - Biology
4) Dragonette - Competition
5) CSS - Let's Make Love and Listen To Death From Above
6) Amerie - Gotta Work
7) Goldfrapp - Number 1
8) Annie - Heartbeat
9) Robyn - With Every Heartbeat (acoustic)
10) The Cardigans - I Need Some Fine Wine And You, You Need To Be Nicer
11) Regina Spektor - Samson
12) Radiohead - Nude
And, with that, I'm off on holiday for a week. See you again on 23rd June!

Cute cat corner
This is some seriously hardcore cat cuteness. Be prepared to go "Awwwww...."
Cats talking
As always, however, the best bit about watching a video on Youtube is the comments. Here are a few choice notes from the above video's 3m viewers.
"how can japans eat cats and kill dogs or other sweet animal ? ? ? how ?? fuck off!!" writes dmxez.
"the only people who dont like cats r the ones who dont like themselves," opines spannypumpkin.
"Cat 1: So Brain, what do you want to do tonight?
Cat 2: Same thing we try to do every night Pinky...try to take over the world!" plagiarises seattleseahawks82.
"oh wow they are in love, go fuck yourself and get a life that is the dumest shit ever," types souljhah111222111 with minimal use of his brain's spelling centre.
"I can hardly imagine why there are so many freaks (e.g souljah111222111)coming here to post offensive comments on such a beautiful clip? Jesus, please throw them into the Hell! They don't deserve your love," responds Manulifee.
Isn't the internet great?
Update: Someone has translated the video so now we know exactly what the cats are saying.
