12/15. I still occasionally dive into the Popjustice forum.
― michaellambert, Tuesday, 13 August 2019 16:43 (four years ago) link
I got 10. Guessed a lot, though some of them aren't really guesses. Jax Jones really looks like somebody who is named Jax Jones, for instance

Is there really a pop star just called Dave?

between getting 3/15 on this, not having heard of most of the people in the nunns book about corbyn, and not having heard of most of the people sheffield united signed this summer, i think it's safe to say i am truly out of the loop when it comes to the UK.

Lol 7/15, and would have been 6 if not for my sister trying to get me into Lewis Capaldi via his Instagram videos. I know several of the others for non-music reasons, I’m basically Barney meeting David Crosby.

9/15. I actually knew 3. You could work out on deduction some of them as the names were coming up again..
― xyzzzz__, Tuesday, 13 August 2019 19:15 (four years ago) link
I am so out of the loop that I didn't realise all the names were actual artist names (at least they were for the end rounds, I assume looking back that they were all the way through) so there were a couple of times I went "well, I didn't think this named artist looked like that, but the other 3 are clearly made up, so here goes!"

10/15 - my downfall, those very interchangeable Gen Z-list long-haired white women, one of which was actually called Becky.
Dave, on the other hand, is super-famous - especially after this year’s Glastonbury coverage.
― suzy, Tuesday, 13 August 2019 19:58 (four years ago) link
For a minute there I was down the wrong path, thinking somehow 1/3 of De La Soul was suddenly successful as a solo act in the UK.Is Dave any good? Looks like the album got good reviews.

A big session hairdresser I’ve known for years (he moved to LA from London about 10 years ago) has been working with Dua Lipa for ages and always shares her latest lewks on FB.

Dave has been excellent for the past two years, but he never seems to get much ILM love.

when my niece (11) was dragged to my booklaunch Q&A in hastings in feb she sat restively at the back as the chat abt 70s and 80s rockwriting droned on UNTIL (her mum afterwards told me) i mentioned dua lipa and her antennae shot up excitedly
so i am down with the kids (=my niece anyway)
i knew abt dave but i think his popname is bad not good despite his music being the opposite
― mark s, Wednesday, 14 August 2019 10:27 (four years ago) link
The Dave and fan rapping @ Glasto is one of the few genuinely nice stories of the year.

I played the Dave album yesterday, and it was pretty good. Highlight might have been my kid walking into the room and asking "is this grime?" Kids today ...

oof, that's sad.
good for people to see the actual consequences of the guardian's "we're just asking questions/we like to publish a range of viewpoints" editorial stance which is basically a fig-leaf for pushing an anti-trans agenda.

the bit of the url that's not necessary to get to the page in question, it tells them who you are or where you've come from or session id or some other information about you.
