poptimistsAfter the HIGH DRAMA of Now 40, the next instalment was always going to be a letdown - some lame tracks, end-of-98 filler and what looks to me a clear winner. But I've been surprised before, for instance by "Because We Want To" overhauling "Teardrop" and winning the last Now poll (with Fatboy Slim in 2nd). Billie and Fatboy are back this time, mixing it up with the Vengaboys and old now 'favourite' BIG PHIL (no, not that Big Phil). UB40 are there too! It's just like old times!

It was like having an American come to your house to discuss their "Irish ancestry".

And: where are the GOOD Lighthouse Family songs? (i.e. Lifted, Ocean Drive). Have I missed the chance to vote for them and declare my shameful enjoyment of at least two tracks by them (guilty pleasures, urk.)

Date: 2006-05-02 12:36 pm (UTC)But do you remember the SPOKEN WORD OUTRO????? It is maybe the most audacious thing I have ever heard in my life, having spent the past three minutes forcibly asserting her 'street' 'cred' Ms B then proceeds to stumble drunkenly into the studio and insert a raddled-ladette monologue in BROAD LIVERPUDLIAN (or is it Yorkshire? I get confused with northern accents) along the lines of "yeah, you know I said I wanted you back right, you know, well, actually, I don't HAAAA HAAAAA HAAAA".

Date: 2006-05-02 12:47 pm (UTC)A lot of Swedish pop groups seem not to know what basslines are.

(also, I bet JDC *loves* it and that should be reason enough to avoid it like fifteen plagues)

Date: 2006-05-02 12:53 pm (UTC)It annoys me most when hip hop heads do it actually (which they do, all of them, all the time). If you want to rep for your field you should SPELL THE NAME OF ITS MOST IMPORTANT EXPONENT PROPERLY!
