The History Of Jop Part 12 aka Just lovely and delicious

[freakytigger.livejournal.com]

Another day, another decade - it's the 1990 Pazz and Jopp poll.

No particular gerrymandering this time so you get the full NINE picks. I left off some EPs (MBV's Glider, Ride's Smile) which I knew might have brought smiles to ageing Brit faces, but I figured the "I've heard of them" defense wouldn't really justify them being included when others weren't.

so is a sno-cone like a... slurpee, icee, whatever it's called in the US? except not in a paper cup?

Well, sno-cone is the U.S. term, but I think it came to have different meanings in different regions; in one it's shaved ice w/ syrup, in the other it's fruit or chocolate syrup or something on the outside with vanilla ice cream inside. My guess is that it's a sweeter lowbrow relative of the Italian ice.

Sno-cones have a much harder consistency than a slurpee -- it's more like crushed ice than the slushier slurpee.
