Okay, so yesterday was supposed to be wednesday music, well was it?. You might have noticed that we never posted it yesterday (again!) and for that I'm sorry. It's been a couple of hectic week's since we were in the French Alps so I haven't had the time to put something together. In order to try and earn your trust back and ask for your forgiveness I have compiled a large stock of music, ranging from rock to hip hop, for you to dive in too. This although means that I won't be handing out POP shots today (I can't put a number on that many songs at once, my artistic integrity just won't stand for it!). But I hope the music makes up for that. Enjoy!

First of all we here at POP want to send out our condolence to the family and friends of Keith Elam (1966-2010) who past away on the 19th of April 2010. He is probably better known to all of you by his stage name Guru, and as part of one of the most well known hip hop duo's of all time; Gang Starr. We here at POP would like to take a moment and thank him for all the extraordinary music he has brought our way. Elam has truly lived up to his alter ego Guru and for that we respect him, Rest in peace.
