Now That’s What I Call Music goes digital
Back in the dry-ice-swept and pre-digital days of the 1980s, their endless series of twin-packed cassettes supplied the latest in cheesy chart fodder. Now That’s What I Call Music! was the compilation that everyone had but no one would admit owning.
Three decades on, Now has finally taken a leap into the digital age, with its website allowing fans to create and download their own compilations.
To spread the word, the company helped organise 500 house parties across the UK, where teenyboppers, pop fanatics and pressured parents from Cornwall to the Highlands danced around their living rooms to party tunes such as Jessie J’s Do it Like a Dude and Britney Spears’ comeback single Hold it Against Me, made their own playlists on the Now website, and took photos which they were then encouraged to share on Facebook.
The new marketing campaign is a recognition that while advertising billboards and a glossy picture of New Kids on the Block may have sold music in the 90s, they have little impact in 2011, said James Foley, music editor of industry newsletter Record of the Day.
“It’s a brilliant mix between a Tupperware party and an online social network,” he said. “In the past, kids made mix tapes and took them into school on Monday morning, but now they are going to spread the word on Facebook and Twitter. That’s how the noise is made.”
‘American Idol’ Recap: The Top 24 Are Ready For Prime Time
Call off the search dogs. Lower our security threat level back down to chartreuse. Our long national nightmare of not knowing the full Top 24 on “American Idol X” finally ended Thursday night (February 24), as Seacrest & Co. spent 14 hours reading 19 names. (Apparently “Idol” was just getting us in the mood for Sunday night’s Oscar telecast.)
When the dust finally settled and the also-rans were told to mind the gap as they boarded the “Idol” Obscurity Train (Erin Kelly, Tiwan Strong, Brittany Mazur and Jimmie Allen, meet your conductors Vanessa Wolfe, Erskine Walcott and Hadas), “Idol” fans were left with a promising batch of 24 hungry young singers. And in an “AI” first, all 24 semi-finalists were profiled over the course of the two “big reveal” episodes. (Although, how could they not be in three hours of televison?!)
First thing’s first, let’s address the giant Tourettey/Aspergery elephant in the room: James Durbin, whose final audition (and ultimate entry into the Top 24) caused riots on the streets. (And when I say “Caused riots on the streets,” I really mean, “Caused MJ’s Big Blog to crash.”) It was the gasp heard ’round the “Idol” bubble, when Durbin equated his reckless shriek to Adam Lambert’s controlled wail. Then he performed “A Change Is Gonna Come” in the style of Lambert’s season eight finale tour de force. Except Durbin replaced all of Adam’s nuanced restraint and emotional honesty with manic red-faced grandstanding. It was the musical equivalent of Elizbeth Berkley’s infamous caffeine pill meltdown from “Saved By the Bell.” To paraphrase Jessie Spano, “He’s so excited; I’m so scared.”
I’ll spare readers (and James) the lecture because we all know he struggles with a disorder that I imagine clouds self-awareness. (I truly think he intended his Lambert comparison to be a shout-out to one of his inspirations and not an arrogant dismissal of Adam’s otherworldly vocal chops.) Instead, I’ll simply urge Durbin to hone in on his own musical identity, and might suggest he avoid any future songs (or musical notes) that might end up with him being compared to a singer so far out of his league.
With that out of the way, Thursday night’s episode picked up right where Wednesday left off. Jennifer Lopez needed five minutes to sob before continuing the reveal of the Top 24. Each singer had one last chance to perform in front of Randy, J. Lo and Steven, and it was apparent that the contestants took the “sing for your life” message to heart.
Jessie Ware and Sampha’s Valentine by Marcus Söderlund

It’s arriving here a bit late on the Day of Love – but then the video for Jessie Ware and Sampha’s Valentine by Marcus Söderlund was actually only completed and posted a few hours ago, on February 14th 2011.
And it just happens to be a lovely thing. So if you still haven’t got the flowers or chocolate or knickers (or even the knickers made of chocolate and flowers) perhaps you could give your Loved One this link, wrapped up in a ribbon…
