I've just been busy, okay?

So here's why Discopop Directory has been so sparsely updated for a week or three... We've been putting together a series on the world's greatest pop writers for the BBC's news website.

But it's all done now, and there should now be adequate time to bitch about Britney and Coldplay over here instead.

If you're interested, the interviews with Richard X and Guy Chambers are on the BBC website now. Xenomania, Cathy Dennis and Jam&Lewis get profiled over the course of the week.

There's plenty of choice quotes left over, so maybe we'll put some of them up here in the next couple of days.

To whet your appetite, here's a surprising admission from the nicest man in pop^TM, the irrepressible Mr X.

"I always wanted to be in a girl band - like Girls Aloud. They could always do with a sixth member. And that could be me.”
