embarassing pop-related fixation #2545013

There's no excuse for this, but the perfect pop song-writing of Gregg Alexander has me all thrown for a loop. You may know him from his former band The New Radicals and their one hit 'You Only Get What You Give'. But he disbanded the group as soon as they got known, and now he's a songwriting gun for hire, notable in Europe for writing all of Ronan Keating's 'good' songs, including 'Life Is A Rollercoaster'. Maddeningly, the only up-to-date fanpage is in German, but you can still read about his tracks for English pop princess Sophie Ellis-Bextor, his high-profile hit with Santana+Michelle Branch, 'Game Of Love' - but strangely, his classic work with Australian TV's 'Pop Star' winner isn't yet mentioned there, hah - too whorish even for them? Other pop geeks are similarly conflicted about Gregg's genius - but I assure you, it _is_ genius :P
