JLS
One of the breakfast DJs on Heart FM (don't ask) described JLS as 'the new Bros' this morning.

e-Boo
Anyone know whatever happened to Ms Elizabeth Boo?
Songwriter, mostly according to wiki
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Betty_Boo
*wonders if Lennylaw's around to offer his catchphrase*
Would he?
He probably would
Oh most certainly.
Marks out of two, etcetera..

20yrs ago.... All available money spent every week going to a daft nightclub that would be swiftly forgotten !
Sigh
Blow Monkeys - "Wait"
Sorry for breaking the thread
but whatever happened to Dr Robert? "Aeroplane City Love Song", "Digging Your Scene"? Now THERE was a band!
Apparently...
.. The Blow Monkeys have just reformed !
http://www.theblowmonkeys.com/
OY!
That was Robert Howard & Kym Mazelle, NOT the Blow Monkeys
Plus - closer to 21 years ago (certainly - much earlier than the miraculous musical upturn that (somehow) suddenly happened in the magical Autumn of 89).
...anyway. Not bad. I preferred Promised Land by the Style Council, to be honest - cur from the same cloth
You Know
It Doesn't Have To Be That Way!
The Promised Land
Apparently was the single that convinced Polydor that Weller had lost his marbles!
Check out the Joe Smooth Inc original. Detroit classic!
(sigh)

Summer/ Autumn 1989
Was my second summer of rap (and the Roses). But this was a very glamourous million miles away from the reality of a crap unfinished new town, working in a pub and A Levels
Would have given the R A to be at the Hacienda, though
(sigh)
Surely
I can't be the only one who reckons that all the above are excellent examples of total hogwash?
(sigh)
Wanted to do Double Trouble & Rebel MC Street Tuff
But it can't be embedded, so here's
Sydney!
The man with the coolest speaking voice ever. I remember listening to interviews with him whilst in the common-room at uni. We had to scrape the girls off the radio.
And the Rebel MC! Choon (as I believe it is phrased in the vernacular)!
SomethingSomethingSomething an' I hear you wunda
"Is 'e a Yankee?" Nah - I'm a Lundahna!
Now where was that in the greatest rhymes thread?
I'm off to find MC Tunes..
Bums. 1990.
what a pile of poo
honestly.
It's Alright
Viva Acid House
Sterling Void
did the original if I remember correctly? Wasn't 89 the year when US garage started taking over from Acid House ? Ten City, Blaze etc.
True...
...but tend to think of acid house as a term summing up the whole golden age 88-91. Sterling Void did indeed do the original, just dug it out on vinyl on "The House Sound Of Chicago: Volume III: Acid Tracks". Scarily, that came out in 1987! As did this (originally) but was a hit in the UK in 89...(I'm starting to sound like paul gambaccini)
Another classic from 89
This is a great site too: http://pureclubclassics.blogspot.com/
What a performance...
Viva Acid House
Actually, this might be 88, but still a great clip
Love it
I played Bummed to death. This is when The Mondays were at their best.
Sigh
20 years... How? HOW?
Exactly
- how the hell is it nearly 20 years since 1990? 20 years ago, nearky 21 since Rickie Lee Jones released Flying Cowboys? And 1990 itself - 23 years after some lot sang "It was 20 years ago today"? Nah - not possible
Edie Brickell Anyone ?
Does anyone remember a cracking remix of this that sounded like Soul II Soul?
Oh yes..
Drums from Keep On Movin', I think. A bootleg, never did find it down my local Our Price. And this was good too... (Similar thing with Edie Brickell-Circle)
20 years ago..how weird does that feel?
this is 20 years old as well! I may have to go for a lie down..
Ah, I get it.
You're digging up really shit music just for a laugh aren't you?
You mischievous little so and so's. I fell for it hook, line and sinker.
Sod off
Grandad
I blame
the education system.
(sigh)
(sigh)
(sigh)
Excuse my relapse but
SIGH!! (yes it was 1989)
I'll let you have that one, Dave.
Fine song. Their best as far as I'm concerned.
My Bloody Valentine . When they made records.
Oops
That was my first attempt at embedding...did'nt expect it to take up half the screen
I think it was 88
oops again
i meant to post a pixies track.
I'm off to bed. Nite.
