A+ ?
Deetah ??
DJ Sakin ???!!???
FOOL BOONA ???!??!?!?!

Mr Now compiler it is you who are the fool if you think I will fall for this.

Clarification also needed on:
- Emilia
- This particular Justin
- How Ladysmith Black Mambazo come to be here, exactly

[thenipper.livejournal.com]

Were LBM on here cos they were used in a baked bean (or possibly soup) commercial?

[jauntyalan.livejournal.com]

soup, yes i'm sure

[freakytigger.livejournal.com]

I was thinking it would either be a commercial or some kind of sportery.

Ladysmith Black Mambazo did a song for some rugby world cup thing once, this is surely not it with a title like that but maybe the follow-up?

This is quite a curious compilation.

I saw Mr Oizo DJ at Canvas this weekend!

[katstevens.livejournal.com]

Haha so you made it to Dalston and back then?

[alexmacpherson.livejournal.com]

Yes! Got to Canvas at around midnight, Anna-Marie said it was all for the best as I missed the indie they played at the start which would have made me irritable. Had no sleep until 8pm last night, for a while in the afternoon I teetered on the brink of my sanity but luckily some moussaka pulled me back for a while.

[katstevens.livejournal.com]

Bless you the Lex. Although you make me feel OLD for going to bed at 4am!

Now onto serious business. Why have you ticked Blur?

[alexmacpherson.livejournal.com]

I drank half a bottle of vodka in the morning and NO ONE STOPPED ME. I ended up playing people Mariah Carey incessantly.

'Tender' is a good song and I like Damon's voice on it! It possibly goes on too long but it still merits a tick. Also YOU ticked TERRORVISION :o

My Shame

[freakytigger.livejournal.com]

I bought Tender on cassingle! It is dreadful.

Re: My Shame

[alexmacpherson.livejournal.com]

13 is the only Blur album I like!

Re: My Shame

[freakytigger.livejournal.com]

The Lex, there has never, ever, in the whole history of indie, been someone indier than you.

[katstevens.livejournal.com]

Because I first heard that song vvv late at night (possibly drunk, abt the right time for me to start being wasted all the time) and I didn't know who it was. And I have Terrorvision love leftover from Friday's Sheeeeine poll!

A+ = 16 year old rapper, Beethoven sample. And all time legendary lyric:

I have the baddest foundation ever established
Me and my team bubble like Alka Seltzer tablets

[freakytigger.livejournal.com]

This sounds amazing! Where was I???

[chezghost.livejournal.com]

it is good! go geddit!

[juror8.livejournal.com]

Surely the best lyrics from "Enjoy Yourself is": "Take her back to the lab, touch three bases/ Take my time, don't wanna catch no rape cases".

[chezghost.livejournal.com]

Emilia went "I'm a big, big girl in a big big world it's not a big big thing if you leeeeave me" or something. Hilariously bad!

[katstevens.livejournal.com]

Urk that song was TERRIBEL. Her voice was thinner and reedier than the National Adolescent Boys' Minimal Woodwind Orchestra.

[freakytigger.livejournal.com]

OMG I REMEMBER. It seems much more recent than 7 years ago too

[blue-russian.livejournal.com]

This was exactly one of those songs that I heard like 8 million times, moving me back and forth between "Oh this is nice" and "Not again!"

[vivalabridgetta.livejournal.com]

Justin was some Scottish popstar.
He sung with Michael Jackson at his 'legendary' Glasgow Green gig, donchaknow?
