The summer of 1989 getting going and a very intriguing Now - two previous winners, a Bond theme, Fat Goth Bob, Soul II Soul and JIVE BUNNY!!!! battling for your kind affections and ticks. It's all going off in 20 different pop directions - which horse do you back?

Have pity on poor Erasure, meanwhile, who lose out in a second play-off as Yazz takes Now 13 by one vote. Now 14 was won at a canter by Neneh Cherry's "Buffalo Stance", acclaimed in the comments box as one of the great achievements of the 20th centry. The Fine Young Cannibals, Inner City and Paula Abdul provided cursory resistance. Opprobrium descended largely on M.Ball and Simple Minds (who are back again for more this time).

To the votemobile - let's go!

Good to see Double Trouble and the Rebel MC made it onto a NOW! Though I don't recall "Just Keep Rockin'". The follow up "Street Tuff" was their anthem; I shall prolly start quoting the lyrics if that features on the next NOW!

there is a line in "street tuff" which is something like:

"just keep rocking" was my last track (jam?)

street tuff is considerably better.

Can you play bass?
