The History Of Pop Part 49 aka Listen to Iron Maiden baby with me

[freakytigger.livejournal.com]

A very mixed bag, Now 49 - for every Destiny's Child making a (somewhat delayed) bow in a Now poll, there's a Dido. For every Mis-Teeq, a Marti Pellow. A number of strong candidates should make for an intriguing poll.

The last Now poll was the closest for AGES, with Gorillaz finally beating Shaggy and Nelly F by one vote - "Clint Eastwood" is the lowest-rated winner ever, which makes up slightly for it being the first one I don't actually like.

THE TICKNESS

MY WHEATUS STORY.

[juror8.livejournal.com]

I used to have a Saturday job in BhS back when I was doing my A-levels, working in the menswear/lighting department. That was a cracker. Anyway, one day, TWO celebrities came in. One was Christopher Lillicrap. The other was yr man from Wheatus. They'd played a gig in Northampton the night before, and they must have had a day off and stayed over. He comes in, unshowered and looking like a scuzz, surrounded by about 15-20 local youths acting as if he was Johnny Cash x Eazy-E. Anyway, he potters around for a bit, picks up one item, goes to the counter I'm on, puts some hiking socks down and goes "I am buying English socks".

That's my Wheatus story.
