The History Of Pop Part 31 aka A man that's on the run is a dirty son of a gun

[freakytigger.livejournal.com]

Now 31 takes us to the (current) halfway point! in the Now polls, and finds Britpop in 'full swing', backed up with a host of fondly and less fondly remembered tracks. DJ Daz should take note of Love City Groove, unfortunate pioneers in the 'put some rap in Eurovision' category. Reeves and Mortimer cover the Monkees, Duran Duran cover the Furious Five, Shaggy tackles Mungo Jerry, Baby D take on the Korgis and Ladysmith Black Mambazo surely fulfil a lifetime ambition by getting to work with China Black.

You'll also get to vote in the Now 30 face-off - Portishead and Massive Attack share the spoils with East 17's "Stay Another Day" a mere two votes behind. Bucketheads in 4th, Boos in 5th, much hatred for the Gallaghers and Mr J Nail, and some bafflement as to what 'handbag house' actually is, that said if you were to make a compilation of the suggestions it would be TOTALLY GREBT as I will prove soon.

The choice between Shampoo and Kylie turned out to be no choice at all - "Trouble" by a mile. I'm expecting a clear winner in this poll, though.

(Not my favourite Jam&Spoon, "Find Me" is much better still,I think.

Hope it's the right version?

Best Jam & Stella has to be 'Stella' or 'Odyssey To Anyoona' which I think was the basis for 'Fine Me'. I didn't like the vocalist Plavka much although spotters may recognise her from The Shamen's 'Hyperreal' on which she was fab!

Thanks for the Jam & Spoon.

heh, re The Lex's:
what needs more love is 'right in the night'. it's based on bach for chrissake!

better still, it's based on a re-arrangement of Bach by SKY (http://plum.cream.org/sky/story.htm) (surely a sukrat staple if ever there was one!!)
