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.

i don't have a problem with that sort of hip-hop generally. i suppose it is just the sense of superiority SOME exponents and fans of 'backpacker' are believed to have over types of hip-hop that put people off. fuck a Jurassic 5 tho.

I very much suspect that the sneering backpacker is a mostly mythical beast, a sub-species of "PC gone mad". They might exist in small quantities, but Jay-Z fans enjoying feeling 'oppressed' by them far outnumber any real self-righteous Common disciples (in the same way that Ann Coulter/Melanie Phillips – delete according geography – get so much more airtime than 'PC elite silencing them'). - Mark M
