The History Of Pop Part 58 aka All I seem to get is the other other

[freakytigger.livejournal.com]

Let's pause a moment to reflect on Now 57, which saw our second ever 100% vote - for "Toxic" - and also the highest ever percentage score for a non-winner ("Milkshake"). We will not see its like again. Probably.

And now for Now 58 - also packed with fine tracks, with attention surely resting on the debut of Kristian Leontiou the SONG THAT BROKE THE INTERWEB, Outkast's "Ha Yeah". Included somewhat late on this Now poll, which otherwise celebrates the summer of '94. Let's see what you think about it.

I WISH. Sadly not.

Has there ever been a lower-impact decade-long career than Our Beverly's?

Our Bev would not lower herself - though to be honest pretty much anyone could cover any Nirvana song and make it better. Even Lily Allen.

'Shoulda Woulda Coulda' is a fine fine song! I can't remember this one though.

It was the first fruit of her collaboration with Guy Chambers after he split from working with Robbie Williams. It had guitars in - i.e. Our Bev goes INDIE

(i am ALLOWED to call her "our bev" as i went to college with her, when she was just bev smith, innit ;))

in the video she is ROCKING in SPACE. i like the respect it shows for indie! Like, the indie-boy dancing in the ignition vid without the very slight hint of cruelty.
