Now 67

Rite, I'm off to knit tofu with hippy children for the next week but we've got just enough time to squeeze in another quick Now poll before I reject all music save that made by free-spirited bongo weavers or something. If I die from camping, someone else will have to carry this on.

This motley crew of hits were assembled sometime last summer, from the look of them. There is an amazing section at the end but overall, this is a surprisingly quality edition of Now. In acknowledgement of the fact these are relatively recent compilations, I've added a question re: what was left out from the compilation at the end, since that should be fairly easy for ones so close to the present.

Edit: WHUPS, NOW WITH ADDED LJ-CUT

'Because Of You'

Shockingly at the time I think this rather passed me by, in a "oh it's OK I guess" sort of way - SO WRONG, it has now become my addiction, I'm so string out on you I can barely move, and I like it...

The melody is absolutely unstoppable, it sort of keeps going and going ("I got a problem and - don't know what to do about it, even if I did I don't know if I would quit but I doubt it I'm - taken by the thought of it" is probably my favourite section to sing along to) and, you know, awesome lyrics. Also, I like the use of that really light midtempo 4/4 beat, you can never quite tell whether the song is a perked-up ballad or a laidback banger. See also the new Jennifer Hudson single!

that remix with kanye is also... kind of great?

'unstoppable' is exactly the word, yes.
