The History Of Pop Part 53 aka Nobody listens to techno

[freakytigger.livejournal.com]

Guess who's back? Back again? Yes, it's the Now polls (boom boom), having left you all on a cliffhanger for two weeks as a TIE on Now 52 leaves Sugababes and Nelly fighting it out below. Meanwhile it's a first appearance for Eminem and for Busted, Christina Milian singing a song about gravy, the return of the terrible funk pun and a host of other talking points. It may not be a vintage Now, but who cares - we're back! Back!! BACK!!!

APPLETON'S FANTASY is very undervalued here!

I need an mp3 of it (sez he having ticked it anyway) - is this the kind of proggy one or was that the follow-up?

it's the one that comes in lots of unrelated chunks -- i wz gnna say yes proggy but "all grown upo" has BACKWARDS GUITAR on it, so it depends what you mean

but "fantasy" was the song in specifico which cause me to evolve the pop-as-nu-prog meme i hounded glenn macdonald with in the GOOD OLD DAYS on ILM!

(Thanks!) Hmm... I like it more for its sensibilities than the actual song itself. Exactly what you'd expect, knowing them (Oasis' wives as Girl Group). Is this model something that just won't work, or were they five years too late, or was it execution here?

Yeah, great song. A big favourite of ILX's Dr. C as well.
