The History Of Jop Part 19 aka You have so many relationships in this life

[freakytigger.livejournal.com]

I decided to do a Jop poll after all, so here's 1997. With "Lovefool" left off for appearing twice, you have nine picks on twenty-five songs - a generous allowance!


[Poll #861316]


Joptimism 1996: Predictable, Us?

1. Common People (38 votes)
2=. California Love (33 votes)
2=. Born Slippy (33 votes)
4. Lovefool (31)
5. No Diggity (30)
6. Woo Hah! Got You All In Check! (28)
7. Setting Sun (23)
8. 1979 (20)
9=. Ready Or Not (19)
9=. Macarena (19)

Thank heaven the Macarena scraped in there ahead of Beck!]

TYPO ERROR: That should be "Cornershop" doing Brimful of Asha, not Chumbawamba - apologies for Cornershop and all their fans. Also it's "Da Funk" not "The Funk". Mondays, eh.

Haha, this is the year I *started* buying the NME. Most of these records were in my first year student bedroom, I'm sure.

Considering I was completely immersed in NME indie that year, I have no memory whatsoever of:

Kirk Lake – Five Finger Discount

I was working with Kirk Lake at the time! It's a good record!

I hoped this sub-thread would be about Kirk Lake -- it's GRRREAT!

I commissioned some reviews from Kirk maybe a year or so later, too...
