Songs of 2001

[petronia]

I wanted to try doing this according to poptimists nomination rules - I'd not submitted any nominations at all, since I assumed the task would be impossible (and also that no one would vote for my picks anyway XD;), until I hit upon the bright idea of reading through THE ENTIRETY OF MY PITAS BLOG ARCHIVE to see what I was really listening to at the time. For reals. I had to go to fifteen, though, as the Oricon would have been a vastly more useful delimiter than the UK Top 40.

SONGS THAT DIDN'T CHART IN THE UK

BoA - Amazing Kiss
Garbage - Androgyny
Ladytron - Another Breakfast With You
Gackt - Another World/Perfume
Baby V.O.X. - Doll
Crystal Kay - Ex-Boyfriend
Utada Hikaru - Final Distance
move - Fly Me So High
Oliver Haze - Holy Water
Manu Chao - Me Gustas Tu
Goldenboy feat. Miss Kittin - Rippin Kittin
Puffy - Sumire (Love So Pure)
Rikki - Suteki da ne
Lili Fatale - Tomber

AND SONGS THAT DID

Bran Van 3000 - Astounded
Kylie Minogue - Can't Get You Out Of My Head
Kosheen - Catch
New Order - Crystal
Mary J Blige - Family Affair
Christina Aguilera/Lil' Kim/Mya/Pink - Lady Marmalade
Jennifer Lopez - Love Don't Cost A Thing

SONGS I AM UNCOMFORTABLE WITH LISTING SINCE I KNOW I NEVER HEARD THEM IN 2001, EVEN THOUGH THAT'S NOT THE POINT

Daft Punk - Aerodynamic
Telepopmusik - Breathe
Tommy february6 - Can't Take My Eyes Off You
Suga Shikao - Hachigatsu no serenade
Superpitcher - Heroin
Leonard Cohen - In My Secret Life
Sade - King of Sorrow
Vitalic - Poney Part 1
m-flo - Yours Only

A few of these represent entire albums rather than themselves, but fewer than I'd thought before making the list. I'd still fight an internet duel on behalf of any of them (well... except for "Lady Marmalade" I guess).

MY PITAS BLOG ARCHIVE

Holy shit, talk about a blast from the past. I totally forgot that I even had a pitas blog.

[uminohikari.livejournal.com]

I don't even know what pitas is D:

[jokersama.livejournal.com]

pitas: that blog you CAN'T LOCK AND CAN'T DELETE AND CAN'T EVER GET AHOLD OF TECH SUPPORT ABOUT D:

[carnetdevoyage.livejournal.com]

Tech support? I was reasonably certain Pitas only ever had the one employee (the founder). XD;;;

[jokersama.livejournal.com]

I've emailed the dude approximately ten times over the past year or two - through the help email and his contact on diaryland, so no go. D:

It's more like, man, I was full of squee and wai and bishies and emoticons a decade ago, and it's UNLOCKED UNDER MY REAL NAME, so it is inconvenient in the age where you get googled, you know? (I reread that and am stunned by the amount of manic energy pouring off the screen - how did anybody ever want to talk to me?)

Ha I know exactly what you mean, I have the same problem! I've chosen to be zen about it, I guess. XD;

[pere-chan.livejournal.com]

Oh god Pitas, with my crappy layout non-skills and what I fondly believed was angst and profundity. And various layouts made from other people's anime art. CHOKE.

And yet I don't have the heart to wipe it out...

According to Puu you can't get it wiped anyway! :D;;
