Jul 21, 2009 12:33

Destiny's Child lead the way once again, with MOP, So Solid Crew, Mis-teeq and Daft Punk slipping in behind them to make the 2001 final.

More big hitters in round 2!

About a quarter of the songs are missing though. I think I'm gonna haveta start putting in tribute versions if the real thing isn't available.... anyone have any opinions on that?

Indeed, is anyone using these playlists at all?

This is a weak heat, no doubt. This was my 10th tick, a slightly reluctant one cos it's originally from 1998 or thereabouts. Still, a great track though, and there's a nice vid too:

Waitaminute this is exactly in every way the song that got released more recently called "All I ever Wanted". Different lyrics but the thing is otherwise the complete spit. What gives there?

Re: Daddy DJ meserach July 21 2009, 19:50:51 UTC

It says here the Basshunter dude "sampled" it, but this is that meaning of the word "sample" which means "I took the entire song and changed essenitally nothing".

It's all the more weird that the Basshunter dude's song originally had different lyrics again, which instead of generic boy-meets-girl-wibble were about playing a particular modification fo the videogame world of warcraft while chatting using the voice-chat program Ventrilo.

My two noms in this heat, repped:

The Télépopmusik -- smooth and soothing electro, gorgeous.

The Guru -- ahaha I knew when I nommed this it wouldn't be likely to make many fans, but it's so summery and bouncy! And I have a possibly not entirely warranted love for it! (In retrospect I really should have given up the thought of trying to stick to singles where available and nominated the ace track with Erykah Badu off the same Jazzmatazz volume instead, but, well. And I am rather a bit fonder of this one, even so!)

i do like 'Breathe'. the other tracks from the 'Genetic World' album ft. Angela McCluskey are great too inc. 'Love Can Damage Your Health'. you wouldn't know she's a Glasweigan! I see she has a couple of solo albums inc. one released this year...

credoimprobus July 23 2009, 21:04:16 UTC

The other McCluskey track I really love is 'Don't Look Back' from Angel Milk -- though mind this has at least 65% to do with the absolutely stellar John Tejada remix, heh. She does have an awesome, distinctive voice, though!
