Was going to post this. Top2000agogo and Vice make some really interesting documentaries on pop music. Loved Vices The Story Of Teenage Dirtbag, it still baffles me that song was sabotaged in the US

Unilever make a lot of things. They're a merger of former British company Lever Brothers and Dutch company Margarine Unie

The headline says legalise while not being arrested would be decriminalisation.

I love Teenage Dirtbag and it was a huge hit at the time. Part of the documentary is about the "big in Japan" situation they found themselves in and part of it is how they made the song. I think I'd say it was great even if I didn't love the song. Honestly think it's the best one they've done. Also loved the Vanessa Carlton one, especially the producer that finally made the song work.
As for Top2000, I really liked the Plastic Bertrand one. I had no idea that it the person we thought was Betrand was just lip syncing.
