UPDATE

On second thoughts, with choices 1 through 7 I was doing so well, as well.

A wee bit muso . . . a wee bit obscure. The recent announcement of the one-off reunion tour affording me the opportunity to splice in a solo song from the most talented Spice Girl to come off as oh so ironic (but secretly liking the song . . . the cynics can take a running jump off of Ger's old platform shoes). Throw in a bit of revolutionary hip hop from The Coup to impress any passing American student r-r-r-revolutionary politico who stumbles across the blog on their way to the next cute agit-prop event, but I fuck it all up by revealing my true colours in choices 8, 9 and 10: Laminated Smash Hits magazines parked neatly in the back of the wardrobe alongside my K-Tel compilation albums.

Update 11/12/ 22

There's a shock. Me moaning about listening to too much old music. I just couldn't accept that I was stuck musically in the 80s and always would be. The Coup still sounds brilliant, though.
