I wrote a song in October 2000 called "Misery Of Last Friday". I did listen to music too:
K-Ci & Jojo - Tell Me Its Real
This was one of my favourite garage records, little did I know it started out as an R&B record. In a roundabout way though it got me into R&B. I heard the original of this which I liked too and that got me into K-Ci & Jojo and then other R&B acts would follow.
Green Day - Minority
It had been 3 years since Green Day had last released an album and it seemed a real possibility they'd called it a day. This comeback single showed they were still going. I remember sitting through a whole morning of T4 to hear this, I didn't know when exactly they would play it and at was right at the end when they did.
I bought the album the day it was released expecting this to be one of the softer tracks, but if anything this was one of the harder tracks and the album was a big disappointment if I'm honest.
Monsta Boy ft Denzie - Sorry (I Didn't Know)
This record took a bit of getting used to I must admit. I found it a bit namby pamby for my liking but at the same time I couldn't resist a garage beat. It appeared on lots of garage tapes and that's how it grew on me.
Ed Case - Something In Your Eyes
Yes it's another UK garage record but again I was listening to garage a lot around this time. I love the way the music builds up towards the chorus on this one.
JJ72 - October Swimmer
Quite appropriate that a record with this title comes out in October. It was the 2nd Top 40 hit for long forgotten Irish band JJ72. Not typical of the music I was listening to at the time but they had something about them.
