The History Of Pop Part 9 aka Wo oh oh my guy the DJ after midnight

[freakytigger.livejournal.com]

A close poll for Now 8 saw Run DMC come out winners with a record 30 tiXoRs - Cameo in second, and the Pet Shops and Mel and Kim in third. Glancing over the wurstvotes it seems that poor Nick Berry carries off the sausage.

And now onto Now 9. Early 87: a problematic time for pop in some ways, with questions being asked in the House the press over the sudden ad-inspired influx of old pop in the charts. I genuinely have no idea what's going to win this. Notice though the first sniffs of HOUSE MUSIC ALL NIGHT LONG coming to save us from Kamen et all. UB40 and Genesis provide an air of cosy familiarity in this brave new cyberworld, though.

'Live It Up' - I don't know, it's too...Antipodean ;) I think I liked it At The Time (TM) but I remember the lead singer as being like Fred Schneider only significantly more bouffant, dressed like Crockett from Miami Vice and worryingly tall (to the extent that his knees were always bent in the video, so as to fit on camera). I could be completely wrong about all of this and have got my Mental As Anything memory mixed up with Random Nightmare #368.
