I picked up a copy of the album at Barnes & Noble and it's nice that is has an English version of "Cry For Me". Great song!

I like the style of Godzilla better than Human, but they just don't compare to their first three albums. I don't even recognize the names of any of the artists featured on Human. I might buy a physical copy of Godzilla, even though Australian albums are quite overpriced if you're an international fan. I'll just take "On Your Side" and "Think of Me" from Human.

I ordered the Japanese release of Heaven & Hell that was just released Wednesday. It has "I'm Not Your Barbie Girl" as a bonus track, but no "My Head & My Heart" unfortunately. It would be nice if the song were released physically.

I was so excited that this song sampled "Around the World (La La La La La)". I was a big fan of that song as a kid when it was featured on Now 6 in the US.

I really love the song, especially the bridge. I love their other videos better, but it's still really great too.

I bought 101 & 102, but I won't buy 103 since they left off "So Am I", and there aren't even enough good tracks on them anymore that I want that I don't already have on the artists' respective albums.

How the hell is "Straight Up" forgotten? I hear it all the time. Plus, "Mickey" has been covered to death, everybody knows that song.

That's what I thought to, but "Stretch" is even poppier.

It's fine, but I love her previous material. I hope we get another album soon though. She's so cute, lovely, and likable!

Yeah, looking at iTunes, a lot of the songs are under three minutes to begin with.

What a mess. I'll skip 102 too. I like nothing on disc 2 except "Girls Just Wanna Have fun", which I just got on Now 100 Hits 80s. I bet they had to do terrible edits to fit 25 songs on disc 1 too.

Are most new releases going to be issued this way? I just ordered a Bananarama re-issue released this year, and it just came in a paper case. Kind of disappointing.

He cute!

Yeah, CDs in jewel cases will always be better than any other format for me. If it's an environmental issue, I'll gladly cut back on other things to keep my jewel cases.

I thought "Cola" was good, but this is even better.

The one that samples "Barbie Girl" sounds catchy, but I haven't listened to it in full yet.

Ugh, how did I miss this?! I've always loved and wanted "Here Comes the Rain". I'll have to buy a re-issue of Viva. The Drama issue looks just like a bunch of random remixes, and I already have "Live In the Sun" on the LOTF single.

She really deserves sustained success.

Disc 2 of Now 101 has some good dance tracks on it, at least it's not like disc 2 of Now 99 -- unlistenable. I skipped buying 99 and 100, because they were just too poor.

Was "Breathin" ever officially a single? I know it was featured as track 1 on the US Now 69. Her single releases are confusing.

I'm pretty sure the version of "When Love Takes Over" on Now 73 was exclusive. It's a bit longer, and I like it better.

The series would be much better if they didn't include censored versions of songs, but probably too many kids buy them, so they're not going to include explicit versions. The dead air from the censorship on a lot of the tracks is just awkward to hear.

The new cover for Now 69 looks nice, but I wonder when they'll stop making them. The American version has always been awful in comparison to the UK one. I have Now 39-74, and many from 76-95. I really wish they'd switch to two a year, because they became really dodgy after 95. I know it's not all their fault with the state of the charts regarding streaming, but they should exert some quality control, then I'd buy them again.

Same. I just can't get myself interested in it.

That seems a little optimistic. I don't see how a candidate who couldn't even win against "ever-flawed" Hillary Clinton would somehow be better positioned to win the general against Trump. Sanders did very well in the first three primary contests, but it didn't lead to the majority of voters being convinced he was the better choice like it did in 2008 for Obama. Sanders is really too far left for general American politics, and he comes across as very patronizing and sanctimonious after awhile. I don't think he would have beaten Trump either. I'd vote for him if he were the nominee, but I wouldn't exactly be thrilled about it.
