The History Of Pop Part 34 aka We got G like MC who Likes It On An E

[freakytigger.livejournal.com]

The poorly-received Now 33 throws up a winner in the form of Terrorvision Pulp - but only by one vote this time from Saint Etienne, then Luniz-Lush-Dubstar in that order. Much anger aimed at Wasis and Cast, and the best Radiohead song seems to be "Just", which is a bit of a shocker.

And now it's ALL CHANGE on Now 34 - this is the first Now that feels 'modern' to me, except I suppose it doesn't now, as the 'era' (in my head) that "Wannabe" kicked off came to an end...when? Well that's another question. Meanwhile - first Spices! first solo Robbie! Peter Andre! Underworld! 2Pac! The riotous return of the do-you-see track sequencer! AND LOTS MORE! Including some real stinkers too, naturally.

think you are right re Suede

Rex The Dog > JX! it's still hard to believe it is the same guy because of the increased sophistication of the RTD productions compared to JX, but that's ten years of consolidation and genre development for you i guess

i still think 'Female Of The Species' is a great track - i like the brass. everything else they did can pretty much burn in hell tho.

OMC: WANNA KNOW THE REST HEY, BUY THE RIGHTS!

I didn't like 'California Love' at the time. 'Bloody show-offs' I thought. There was a 'California Love' part 2 or alternate version of it that's also pretty nice, but obv. not as great as this.
