The History Of Jop Part 11 aka Most of my heroes don't appear on no stamps

1989, the number, another poll - something to do while you count the minutes until POPTIMISM TONIGHT AT THE UNION TAVERN (ahem).

Only EIGHT picks this time because Tone Loc's "Wild Thing" was a duplicate.

Re: "nexus" at the time this felt like the greatest time for music ever

[jauntyalan.livejournal.com]

i was using nexus to impy the "pulling together" as you put it, or a feeling that things were falling into place. perhaps with 88/89 i am thinking of the indie/dance/proto-rave thing which seemed like a monolithic wide-church "scene". the 78/79 would have been new wave, after punk and disco.

but i am really too young to have a proper perspective. and as ppl are saying it may well just be me - just the things happening to me (78 =autonomous love of music, 88=autonomous life entirely).
