re. start of section 2 - they are taking the piss surely.

A+ ?
Deetah ??
DJ Sakin ???!!???
FOOL BOONA ???!??!?!?!

Mr Now compiler it is you who are the fool if you think I will fall for this.

Clarification also needed on:
- Emilia
- This particular Justin
- How Ladysmith Black Mambazo come to be here, exactly

Were LBM on here cos they were used in a baked bean (or possibly soup) commercial?

i proudly played my iranian picks for victory to geeta and she said "The VOCODER is a STEP TOO FAR"!!!???

[jauntyalan.livejournal.com]

soup, yes i'm sure

[freakytigger.livejournal.com]

I was thinking it would either be a commercial or some kind of sportery.

Ladysmith Black Mambazo did a song for some rugby world cup thing once, this is surely not it with a title like that but maybe the follow-up?

This is quite a curious compilation.

I saw Mr Oizo DJ at Canvas this weekend!

HEINZ MEANZ BOYCOTT

Which is the worst

[jauntyalan.livejournal.com]

Beanz (http://www.commercialbreaksandbeats.co.uk/adv_res.asp?advSearchString=Ladysmith%20Black%20Mambazo&chArtist=yes).

A+ = 16 year old rapper, Beethoven sample. And all time legendary lyric:

I have the baddest foundation ever established
Me and my team bubble like Alka Seltzer tablets

[freakytigger.livejournal.com]

This sounds amazing! Where was I???

[braisedbywolves.livejournal.com]

This is actually actually the least ticks ever (=6) though I'm willing to believe I could possibly double it if I'd heard more than half of the tracks. Still, worst NOW so far.

[katstevens.livejournal.com]

Haha so you made it to Dalston and back then?

[freakytigger.livejournal.com]

I think it's pretty good, cos I'm assuming most of the stuff I don't know is pleasant eurotrance, and it's only that 'phonics/kravitz/divine comedy bit that's actively grisly.

(Yes OK Thank ABBA For etc is perhaps not the tribute they quite deserved)

[katstevens.livejournal.com]

It's not great, is it? Considering the large amount of top Balearic Bosh around at the time the picks for this Now are indeed curious.

TO BOLDLY GO

[dubdobdee.livejournal.com]

what is this craven "i did not know it so i did not tick it" rule?

[freakytigger.livejournal.com]

I wonder if some got used for Now Dance?

WAR OF THE VIDEOS

[katstevens.livejournal.com]

Cardigans' Erase & Rewind vs Jamiroquai's Virtual Insanity.

THEY ARE THE SAME

[alexmacpherson.livejournal.com]

Yes! Got to Canvas at around midnight, Anna-Marie said it was all for the best as I missed the indie they played at the start which would have made me irritable. Had no sleep until 8pm last night, for a while in the afternoon I teetered on the brink of my sanity but luckily some moussaka pulled me back for a while.

[katstevens.livejournal.com]

Bless you the Lex. Although you make me feel OLD for going to bed at 4am!

Now onto serious business. Why have you ticked Blur?

[katstevens.livejournal.com]

Aha! I shall consult werk db. BRB!

[boyofbadgers.livejournal.com]

Oizo = head and shoulders above everything else here. A startling amount of the best dance music of the last three years is totally indebted to that track. As Vahid pointed out elsewhere it is impossible to listen to Smagghe's Fabric mix without imagining the little yellow chap bashing his head along to all the fvck-off big buzzy noises.

[carsmilesteve.livejournal.com]

all this oizo love is totally due to last night's "top 50 one hit* wonders", although it is good. not as good as terrorvision though.

*FSVO one hit

[alexmacpherson.livejournal.com]

I drank half a bottle of vodka in the morning and NO ONE STOPPED ME. I ended up playing people Mariah Carey incessantly.

'Tender' is a good song and I like Damon's voice on it! It possibly goes on too long but it still merits a tick. Also YOU ticked TERRORVISION :o

[carsmilesteve.livejournal.com]

also, what is dusty doing here? this is possibly the first time i've ticked a re-release, but she looked so lonely there, on the end...
