Dropped my subscription to Uncut a few years ago as it was far too heavy on the music for (and largely by) boring sixty-something blokes with beards, and – from the look of that list – it’s gone even further […]

Not sure if you’ve seen the above comment about the “bonus tracks”, but it was indeed “Asteroid” that nearly made the cut.

Yeah, I played it myself last night having been prompted by thinking about it here, and had completely forgotten that it’s only a shade over 35 minutes.

Was listening to “100% Dynamite” on the train this […]

Thought they were dreadful myself, mind you I don’t tend to like 70s Whistle Test bands either!

Neneh Cherry was good though.

There’s an album from Sly and Robbie called “Reggae Greats: A Dub Experience” which is well worth a listen if you’re exploring dub.

“Infinity Dub Session” by Deadbeat and Paul St Hilaire is also very good.
A […]

A few hastily scrawled notes on my selections and the thought process – such as it was – behind their selection.

1) ‘Elvis In Space’ – Dave Formula
This came from a covermount CD from the Word magazine so had […]

I suppose I should mention what those “bonus tracks” (burned onto the mix I sent to @StellarX as it was off-book, available as a download to my official swappers to play by the rules for once):

13) ‘Kelly Watch […]

That is probably my favourite of their albums, though “The Royal Theatre” is also very good.

They do have some spectacular titles.
I particularly like “Godzilla Vs The Island of Manhattan (with you and I […]

Yeah, it is a bit of an outlier.

It’s a track from an early EP, the first few of which are collected as “Club Anthems”.

Heh. I did type “second division” in my first draft, so I think it’s improved?

Intrigued who that is now, might need to have a crafty Shazam of it…

It’s always a bit of a balancing act for me on how varied to make these things, it’s a fine line between “eclectic” and “dog’s breakfast” 🙂

#2 – His initials aren’t CS are they?

Had intended to go into a bit […]

Bonus feedback for @stellarX from our traditional behind-the-scene off-book swap

1) Seventies disco-funk. Thought I recognised this, then realised I didn’t, then changed my mind again. Which suggests it’s suf […]

OK then, holiday-delayed review of @timtunes.

1) Could be the theme to something, possibly from the Sixties. Sounds more like a horror theme initially, then goes a bit more wobbly. Very atmospheric, nice […]

Not quite the same, but it did remind me of this story from last week:

“A missing man who was murdered more than 40 years ago has been found – after a seed from a fig in his stomach grew into a tree which was u […]

Glad to hear it 🙂

Aw shucks, thanks. Glad you enjoyed it.

Speedy Ortiz were great fun the one time I saw them at the Hare and Hounds.

As Yassassain appear to have cancelled their gig at Sneaky Petes, I only have two definite (ie, ticket in hand) so far with the Twilight Sad in November and The Proclaimers in Dundee in December.

Have just […]

What’s even more exciting (and AW traditional) than a List Thread?

A Playlist Thread of course 🙂

So if anyone’s curious about the stuff I listed (which I’ve just noticed is – coincidentally – a nice round […]

Consecutive posts with references to Husky Rescue! That has to be a first 🙂
