The History Of Pop Part 61 aka Nim Nim Nim Nim

[freakytigger.livejournal.com]

RIGHT. Let's get this one over with. Now 61 is not a very good Now album. The impression of badness is enhanced by Now's sudden decision to move all the great pop tracks to the arse end of disc 2, part of the general loss of faith in pop that was sweeping the blogosphere world in 2005, at least before this very community came along to SORT IT OUT.

Gwen Stefani is your winner on Now 60, by the way.

Rhyming Slang

According to today's Metro, James Blunt was voted 4th most annoying thing in the UK in a recent survey of 2000 Brits. Only one other of the top ten was even a person, let alone a pop act.

I've still not heard "You're Beautiful". I know how the chorus goes obv, having encountered snatches of it on chart rundowns and the like, but I've never heard the entire song (to the best of my knowledge).

i managed to avoid Band Aid 20 but managing to not have heard 'Yer Beautiful' is an astonishing feat. Do you not have a TV?

Yes, but for the most part I only watch the news, Big Brother and Doctor Who.
