Like how the cover has a nod to the sunglasses pig on it - esp as the only one I ever had was Now 3, which introduced him/her
A round of applause to you, Sir. Can’t think of a better couple of bands to have taped
My brother had the ‘Now’ compilations, I had the ‘Hits’ ones, which were a side-by-side double cassette, rather than the chunky double decker type.
Was quite a good way of discovering new music tbf. Sign of the Times blew my tiny mind
I don’t know who Sia is because I’m old but why would an 11 year old like Madonna? Her output has been embarrassing for years (remember when she tried rapping?), it’s going to sound horrific to anyone who wasn’t even alive when she was good.
Does sometimes seem that you’re on a constant quest for indie points
Yeah that flummoxed me. That was just the opinion he gave - ‘Sia can sing really high but Madonna is rubbish’. I didn’t ask him if he liked Madonna. Was amazed he’d heard of her. Then he started talking about monsters from Harry Potter or something. No idea. Can you tell I don’t have kids?
I’d forgotten about those side-by-side tape boxes. I think computer games used to come in them as well.
Ah yes they did, I had a games compilation with my first Spectrum, Daley Thompson’s Decathlon was tape one game one
A classic.
think not having a now is the antithesis of indie points
whats the tracklist then?
Dunno but
“To celebrate it will feature not only the latest chart hits but also a selection of the greatest NOW hits ever.”
Screw Now, it was all about ‘The Best Anthems …Ever!’ motherfuckers
This was the best one (I still have the double CD):
I had this. How shit like Embrace made it amongst that company is anyone’s guess though.
I had both of them, they were always played on the way to the v festival (when it was deece)
well i mean the rest of the bands are hardly great
You are clearly forgetting that in those days an ‘anthem’ was simply code for a song The Evening Session played a lot.
Popjustice picked their fave from each album
Some bleak times in the early 00s (Blunt! Keating!) but still quite a list.
I saw the 30 viewable on the link. I was going to say it was ok but then noticed Brother Beyond.
