Billie doesn't look back overly fondly on her pop career. Understandable. #totp

I don't think Adia is pronounced "a deer", Mark. She sings "aidi-a" throughout. #totp

Think I have Jesus Says on CD. And it's one of the first songs I learned on guitar. It's just A and D. #totp

Ah the first Spice solo number 1 and they hadn't even split up yet. In fact I think she went to record this on a day off from filming Spice World. #totp

Eels! This is the best episode in a long time!

I had the video to this on CD Rom (no youtube back then, kids) and the singer, E, reproduced himself as a carrot. It's a cute little video. #totp

This song contains the word Millenium, and is indeed called millenium, solely because it was 1998 and people were talking about the millenium. They could have put any word in #totp
