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.

Why don't people like/remember this Jem song?

I remember it.

Her voice is wallpaper and the lyrics are shit. That said it is quite good for the two seconds before she starts singing.

her voice is Beth Orton

Exactly!

Hey! I like Beth!

I didn't tick this because, even though I liked it at the time, it's really just a relatively catchy moment in a vast continuum of pleasant but unremarkable sound.

the Elfmanesque strings are the best since 'Toxic'. and i even like the warped kids vocals.
