The History Of Jop Part 15 aka In the time of chimpanzees I was a monkey

[freakytigger.livejournal.com]

If it's Thursday, it must be 1994! The grip of alt.rock and hip-hop - mostly alt.rock - on the Pazz and Jop poll is close to total, and Anglophiles aren't carrying much weight. This does mean that we've got a lot of tracks to rate that never came near a Now album, though!

NINE ticks out of 27 songs.

she wasn't Indie Kylie yet was she? Impossible Princess was still two or three years away. And she hadn't met Nick Cave yet.

"Confide in Me" was more SexKylie Phase 1 innit.

no for me 'Confide In Me' commences Indie Kylie pure and simple. I'm sure she had already duetted with the Manics on 'Little Baby Nothing' by this point also.

That was Traci Lords!

'Confide In Me' is trip-hop, not indie, it is v similar to Massive Attack's 'Sly'.

Kylie performed it or recorded a version with them after Lords - I just can't remember when.

'Confide In Me' is Kylie's most indie solo single ;)
