<a href="http:\/\/news.bbc.co.uk\/cbbcnews\/hi\/uk\/newsid_1944000\/1944376.stm">S Club Juniors<\/a> is a chart pop band made up of children aged 11-14. Their image, and the fact they're marketed as pin-up idols, brings back, for me at least, memories of a notorious 80s TV show called Minipops. <\/p>\n
Me: What's that CD you've got?
\nMiss Senay: The S Club Juniors album. It's really good.
\nMe: I have a friend who fancies one of them, I'm afraid to say. (points to blonde girl on CD cover). That one, I think.
\nSenay: Ugh, that's really sick.<\/p>\n
(pause)<\/p>\n
Senay: If you HAD to, it'd be that one (points to black girl).<\/p>\n
Some of my friends do have a sick sense of humour. Still, underage kids in pop bands are nothing new. The Jackson Five, for one. I hesitate to say the hits of S Club Juniors are as good as that, but apparently their album IS good 2002 pop music. <\/p>\n
But what do I know? I haven't bought any actual new music in ages. The last CD I bought was Alan Bennett's "Poetry In Motion".<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
