Brit-hop is coming OMG OMG etc - yeah good work BBC but look at the comparison to Select magazine's "notorious" Britpop cover!!

Did anyone else buy this at the time? (1993) and what did you think?

Also if someone could YSI a few good recent (like last 6-12 months recent) hem hem Brit-hop records I'm sure we'd all be grateful.

THE HISTORY OF POP PART 3 aka Are You So Deaf That You Cannot Hear?

[freakytigger.livejournal.com]

No Music Day? NOW MUSIC DAY more like. The first two songs have been entered into the Poptimists Pop'n'Poll hall of fame and they are:

NOW 1: The Human League - Fascination
NOW 2: Frankie says RELAX.

Applause, huzzahs etc. Nena was a v.close runner up on Now 2 with Cyndi Lauper, the Smiths and some other people also doing well. Poor old SNOWY WHITE and the mysterious Julia and Company did worst of all.

Today's poll has all sorts of "they were on a NOW??" entries, and was going to be accompanied by YSIs of some 'prime cuts' from 1 & 2 but this must wait until tomorrow cos I fvcked up the YSI somehow. As ever, comments more than welcome.
