Pop Open Group L: THE EIGHTIES

[freakytigger.livejournal.com]

Eighties! We're living in the Eighties! Four tracks available at http://freakytrigger.co.uk/ft/2007/10/pop-open-week-12/ in streamed form. My PC was erratic last night so I wasn't able to put them up as a zipfile - I will sort this out tonight.

Anyway, give them a listen, decide which you like best, vote below. This poll will run until next Monday lunchtime.

[Poll #1072847]

Thanks to the four contestants, though I've forgotten who one of them is so I won't name names.

As for what I'd have chosen, there are scads of Eighties freestyle that you lot seem to know nothing about: Cynthia's "Change On Me," Judy Torres' "Come Into My Arms," Sequel's "It's Not Too Late," and the Cover Girls' "Inside Outside" just to name a few. And I would win. Or I'd pick a track from Stacey Q's Hard Machine, "Good Girl" or "The River" or "Don't Make A Fool Of Yourself."

I was listening to Kate Bush's Never For Ever and Peter Gabriel 3 last night (both 1980, and with a lot of cross-over in their musician cast lists). I'd probably have picked something from one of these.

I was thinking about submitting some freestyle! But with freestyle, since I wasn't into it at the time (being born in the eighties and all), I can't work out what people are likely to have already heard or not heard; I was a bit unsure about the track I eventually submitted, too, but i thought it might be a little more unknown while still totally awesome (i love it ridiculous amounts).

Well, some people here have probably heard "Let The Music Play" (which is terrific but is borderline as to whether it counts as freestyle) and I've forced Debbie Deb's "When I Hear Music" down poptimist throats, and I think Company B's "Fascinated" has gotten some notice in these parts, and possibly possibly so have the Exposé hits, but in general I'd assume that no more than two or three poptimists have heard much of any freestyle.
