July 1991 Pop Culture: Chapterhouse, Jamie Walters & Summer Recommendations

Start listening

It’s summer, and everyone at Sassy is already too hot to work. Christina admits that What Now is kind of a flop — she’s even a month late mentioning Ian Svenonius’s birthday! (It’s June 1, in case you also want to mark your calendar for the most important event of the year.) One To Watch Jamie Walters, we can now agree, burned bright in his moment, but that his moment did not last long. And then the staff just foregoes Watch It, Listen Up, AND an entertainment feature, instead assembling an insert full of recommendations for what they’re all going to be watching, reading, and doing in the summer of 1991. Which of them do we think you should listen to? Listen to US to find out.
