The History Of Pop Part 47 aka We were makin love by Wednesday

[freakytigger.livejournal.com]

Oops - She did it again - WON A NOW POLL that is. Britney topped Now 46, and deletion was averted by a respectable showing for Aaliyah after much lobbying. Less controversy on Now 47 I'm guessing, featuring comebacks for U2, Spices and All Saints, and debuts for David Gray, Nelly and leather-lunged Anastacia.


[Poll #736520]


All this and DANE BOWERS too!

It's not as great as Black Coffee but it's still a lovely bubblebath of a record.

ZENITH YR OUTTA YR MIND

All Saints were basically shit. Boring covers of 'classic' but actually awful rock songs. Being set up by the meeja as the pop band it was 'okay' to like in opposition to the Spice Girls. THAT FUCKING FILM. Shit shit shit.

All Saints were GREAT. They improved the awful rock songs, and topped them with some amazingly lush stuff of their own. 'Black Coffee' is one of those sweeping existentialist ballads I'm a sucker for. 'Pure Shores' has that incredible "I'm coming! I'm drowning!" moment in it!

Beach book: rub.
Beach film: rub.
Beach song: rub.

Beach book: rub in an enjoyable way
Beach film: rub in a very very rub way
Beach song: entirely redeems existence of book and film

Beach Soundtrack: fab!

[chezghost.livejournal.com]

the Faithless track on it is (perhaps surprisingly) good, as is the New Order track, and it has the Hardfloor mix of 'Yeke Yeke' :)

I agree AS were marketed annoyingly and the cover versions never convinced but their other material was often spiffy

AIEEE IT'S GONNA WIN!

It's "quite good" but I don't want it to win so have not ticked.

C'MON DANE
