99)1:39 into People We Want off At The Club by Kenickie The song, like a lot of the album, is about moving from kids playing as grownups to growing up. Lauren sings "If we go home, what happens now? If we stay out, could we be?" and the drums that have been driving the song cut out, and the other girls join in on "the people we want". Then the guitar comes in, like the dreams of everyone who has ever heard the word "city".

97. Human League 'Don't You Want Me'
the bridge builds and rises, Phil's threats are getting sterner - "you'd better change your mind or we will both be sorry" is hardly a euphoric sentiment, where are we going? the chorus lyric seems so tragic and helpless but the music is so feelgood and resigned (content?) - an emotional juxtapose that results in big smiles all round

you are always on my mind! no, REALLY, YOU are ALWAYS on my mind - i can't stress that enough so here's the most astonishing orchestral shift just shoehorned in for the briefest of moments at the end of one of the most succinct choruses in pop history (it's barely there yet it's the axis of the entire track)

92. Mine is 2:10 into Kylie's "Love At First Sight" with the Hooo-oooh-oooh-oooh. "I look perfect but here's some glitter." Obvious I know, but it's like driving a spotless rental sports car and for a few seconds having the wind match the car's velocity precisely, leaving your hair perfectly untousled. What?

I'm not sure we are Phoebe, often the moments are a bit less subtle than that and can't puncta be spine-chilling or terribly sad or very moving in ways that aren't just uplifting (eg Being Boring)

BOOM BOOM BOOM BOOM BOOM BOOM BOOM
surely you've got it from that?no?
its the intro to 'since yesterday' by strawberry switchblade. to quote carl douglas 'just one hit, but WHAT a hit...'
its the off-key organ, the drum-machine and the best moment: that split-second where it hangs, just after the drums are finished and they burst into song.
i wonder what they're doing now?

88. Sophie Ellis-Bextor 'Murder On The Dancefloor'
another bridge. by this point Sophie is brimming with confidence, enough to warn us that there is no getting away and she'll take you all the way. adorable cheek rather than actually threatening/off-puttingly arrogant in any way. lead on foxy!

1998, Haigh Hall, The Verve's triumphant homecoming outdoor show in a natural amphitheatre in the north west. I'm working backstage for reasons unimportant, so I've been at the venue since well before the doors open. I happen to be in the photographer's pit when I hear the message come through a nearby security guard's radio that the paying hordes are about to be admitted.
Bang on cue, the DJ cranks up the PA and lets go with...well, you know what, and at that precise moment, with perfect symmetry, approximately 10,000 people stream like a fuckin' avalanche down the hill towards the stage and indeed me. The sun shines, the smiles are a million miles wide and yes it was a bloody Verve gig but at that moment it really didn't matter a bit cos it was PERFECT. Fuck Trainspotting, this was The Moment.

"...they've been working all day, all day, all day..."
Horns and strings collapse. Bass cuts out. Lone piano sings the melody, you're humming the words 'Matthew and Son' in your head. Cat, so low in the mix you're not sure if its real, does the same.
Absent-minded.
Then.
BUKKA, BUKKA.
The drums sound like some librarian dropping the dusty tomes in which the whole of history is recounted.

1.- The intro to "Everyday is like Sunday" by Morrissey. The base and drums build-up is sublime.
2.- The bridge section of the "Always on my mind/in my house" mix by the Pet Shop Boys.
3.- The moment the second part of "How we used to live" by St. Etienne starts to kick in. Its pure joy!
