The legacy of White Town/Your Woman

His cover of "Your Woman" is crap, though.

Okay I need to hear this immediately.

Now, three times this week.

Funny how that happens.

Surely they were out of copyright by then?

also: ah, a teenage crush on a lesbian? now it begins to make some sense.

now bearing in mind that all of beddingfield's subsequent output has been, er, you know. ..

Those could be spoken by the female character.

Well, yes, but according to this logic every first person love song ever sung by man could be in fact about a female character, making all of them lesbian.

Breeders- Last Splash
Butthole Surfers- Electric Larryland

my friend bought this album @ the heigth of it's 'popularity' only to be sorely disappointed...

i just heard this on the radio the other day.
forgot all about it. id like to see more oddball pop make it big in 08

I've been playing this song a few times lately myself! Still wonderful. Seems like it would make a good if random choice for Pop Idol (if not American Idol).

Did Jyoti ever post on ILM? Old ama regular after all?

I know he's on last fm.

Ha ha you would know that...

i'd like to see the original question applied to today - do we have more bedroom musicians now? it seems so, with the ubiquity of ableton, soft synths and high-spec pcs, but what bedroom musicians have made it big recently? (does this apply to jamie t and early streets?)

I think loads are/do, just they don't put their bedrooms onto their publicity photos etc.

Saw Jyoti DJing at some schmind night I went to on Saturday as a perverted warm-up for Fabric, he was OK - for an Indie DJ - playing MBV, De La Soul and James Brown amongst Sarah-esque jingly jangly stuff.

Very Camden Underworld 1991.

How about acts such as The Feeling and Lily Allen, who have gotten famous mainly because of MySpace?

Oh come on, you don't actually believe Lily Allen got famous because of MySpace, do you? Next you'll be bringing up Sandi Thom.

no geir, no to that

it's my house, i pay the mortgage

i still find it weird that the original is some kind of pop touchstone, it's barely ok! wiley's version is way better

It seemed more notable back when its sound was rare and unpopular. One of the more secretly influential singles on 00s pop in that regard, perhaps.

Jyoti Mishra = Karel Fialka

Never noticed the similarity to the Empire Strikes Back theme before...

an influence on baxter dury

My pharmacist the other day was named Jyoti, I wanted to ask her if she would be my woman but she had a wedding ring on and was pretty much all business so I was scared to try it.

spiritual precursor to umbrella

The original is perfect as it is - it was great to see someone flying the synthpop flag in the '90s and not being embarrassed about it.

Is it "Your Woman" being used in the advert for The Eternals? Sort of hoping it is (so Jyoti gets a big cheque) but suspect it's just the same sample??

It's in a Dua Lipa song, right?

To answer the question just above: yes. Meantime, Todd in the Shadows does a One Hit Wonderland on it and mentions Tom Ewing along the way, thus tying back to the protohistory of this site, etc. etc.
