poptimistsThe Now polls are all good and proper, aren't they? But surely, around the time of Now 29, Now 30, a new breed of compilation entered the arena. Taking as it's theme the indie big hitters from the Now Polls, the mighty SHINE series catered to a growing crowd of kids who were reading about a new thing called "britpop" in Smash Hits. If you ask me, SH! always seemed rather obsessed with Damon All-Bran's TIBETAN LOVE BEAD necklace. Ew.

2. The first one came out aaaaages before the others, and was one of a host of similar stuff from now + nindie classix ov the past comps at the time. I was most surprised when the second one came out 2 years(?) later.
Things I don't remember:
1. Were Shine 2 to Shine N strictly happening sounds of now (as was) or did they too include some old school material to bolster the paltry modern offerings?

Date: 2006-03-10 02:39 pm (UTC)With Shine/Best Album there were always a few older tracks though cos I think the compilers had some idea of educating the Britpop kids about the glories of indie past - "How Soon Is Now" was 9 years old when this came out?
I wonder if current Arctic Monkeys etc. comps have Tiger or Bis on for similar reasons? Probably not.
