I was playing the compilation (“Three Day Week: When The Lights Went Out (1972 – 1975)”) from which I lifted that Troggs song just now, so can report that it was the b-side to “Strange Movies”, which was […]

Cinerama are excellent. If you like that track then are plenty more things you’ll love. They’re one of those bands with lots of non-album singles (and good b-sides) but there are handy compilations of those […]

Heh. No problem, hope you’re on the mend from whatever was ailing you. Interesting reading on the feedback, didn’t expect universal approval of everything but glad you unearthed a few gems. Some sketchy […]

Ah right, thanks. Clearly I hadn’t looked properly! Though I have definitely got the hang of the “inflicting” bit 🙂

I think “very ill” definitely scores high on the list of Acceptable Excuses, hope you’re on the mend now. I’m quite relaxed anyway, as you’re almost certainly not going to like much of mine 😉 I don’t think […]

There was a game / challenge thing running over on the smoking ruin of what’s left of Twitter, with people posting tracks from their favourite Canadian artists for the 30 days leading up to Canada Day. Here’s my […]

No problem, as I say, I mainly did it as a little experiment for myself, but obviously if you do find something new you like on there that’d be nice.

Heh, thanks for taking that in the spirit that it was intended (and hopefully Vulpes takes my level of “succinctness” for track 2 in the same way!). I did set myself little challenge during the week about […]

OK, review time. I’ve clearly got very different tastes to the pair of you so – being absolutely honest – I didn’t really like very much of anything I heard, really sorry, I did try! These things are about hearing […]

Absolutely no problem with that feedback Gary, was actually more positive than I’d expected after hearing your offering & it becoming clear we have different tastes (mine have never “grown up”!), and it shows that […]

Thought that one was the most AW-friendly selection, one of the first things I selected actually. Am now intrigued as to which one fits into a chillout compilation. I recognised the grand total of one song […]

I was being slightly tongue-in-cheek, but still, good to hear you got something out of it. There were things I liked on both of the ones I received too, just to clarify!

Just gave your mixes a first listen @gary and @vulpes-vulpes and – in the context of what I sent you – I’d just like to say that I’m really really sorry 🙂

Not too fussed either way my little Foxy friend @vulpes-vulpes. Quite happy to receive a file via WeTransfer as the easier option if that suits. You should’ve been able to see my email from the link I sent you?

Genuinely looking forward to Beth Cosentino (big fan of Best Coast), Bully, Clark, Killer Mike, Mandy Indiana & Squid. A few big names (QotSA / Janelle Monae / Sparks / P.J.Harvey / Taylor Swift, in ascending […]

OK, I have my exciting expertly (ahem) mixed WAV file ready to send. I’ve got your email @gary so will get that over via WeTransfer. If you can send me your email @vulpes-vulpes I will get it over to you too.

“Kerosene” – Big Black “In Shreds” – The Chameleons “Move On Up” – Curtis Mayfield “Mexican Women” – Throwing Muses “Fight The Power” – Public Enemy “Sensitive” – The Field Mice “Heavenly Pop Hit” – The […]

Email sent, thanks. I reckon I’ve got ten selections sorted, will get it done over/by the week. Will probably go the WeTransfer route myself too.

Ooh, it’s suddenly become real 🙂 So far I’ve made a note of four probable songs for inclusion, time to start having a proper think now then.

Pixies. There was one of those Twitter “Pick Your Top Ten” games for them recently, and didn’t bother entering as I ended up with eight tracks from “Surfer Rosa” + “Debaser” and “Into The White”, which just […]
