I love every edition of the now series because, shucks, I just loves me some pop music. I love the songwriting by other people, the beats instead of people playing instruments and the fact that every song out now has to feature someone else. Originality? Who needs it, these tracks are just straight money. This compilation features several of my personal faves. I'll break a couple of them down:

Pussycat Dolls- Anything by PCD is just money in the bank. If you want danceable tracks about deep things like being hot, this is your group. The songwriting is off the charts awesome. If they all weighed 250 lbs and were unattractive, they would totally still be popular because they are very deep. It's like five of Joni Mitchell

Lil Wayne- I can count the number of CDs this guy is NOT on using my toes. If you tried to collect every CD he was on, you'd have roughly 3,423 cds. This cat is deep and has himself together. When my daughters get older, I hope this is the kind of guy they bring home.

Young Jeezy- Or as I call him "silky smooth". This guy has a voice that leads to sweet love on my corduroy couch with a ladyfriend. He is like Barry White, but instead of smooth soul joints, he rolls out really slow raps and grunts. He's now at the tippy according to the cell phone commercial

Pink- Yes, every song by her sounds pretty much the same, but you know what? Sausage pizza rolls have tasted the same for years and I still love them. Oh boy, give me some pizza rolls and a cool miller lite and it's on like pole position at skateland in 85. I don't even pay attention to what Pink says anymore, I just know she's awesome. She has tatoos and an attitude, what a total rebel!!

Asschowder- They aren't on this CD, but I figured they'll be on NOW 30, so I'd tell you about them. Their song "Yard O' Junk" is tearing up the charts in my town right now. Burns plays keyboards better than Depeche Mode, New Order and A-Ha combined. Their songs are filled with angst, but sensitive enough to make you cry about your breakfast. Let them in your world and your world will be a better place.

Daughtry- I had never heard of this guy until this album. He needs more exposure because he's really awesome.

Average asked this CD if it wanted to coupleskate and the CD gave it a crane kick to the head.
