All’s well that ends well. Despite a bit of a post-birthday hangover, I managed to navigate the Rough Trade online shop early on Saturday morning after the RSD stock was made available at midnight, and snagged the […]

Plus Sleeper (“Alice in Vain”) and the Sisters Of Mercy.

Don’t normally pay attention to RSD, and so therefore completely missed until this morning that there was a remixed / remastered copy of “Crooked” by Kristin Hersh up for grabs.

Though having said that, I […]

Nope, the Stout Chap is probably Sam?

Edd is the pessimistic miserable sarcastic one who’s known as “Dolorous Edd”, can’t think why I identify with him.

“I never wanted to see half the things I’ve seen, and […]

That is a good idea.

I’ll be Edd from the Nightswatch.

Sorry, never did get around to sending you a tracklist, so here it is

1) White Lightning – George Jones
2) Blank Generation – Richard Hell and the Voidoids
3) Beachy Head – Veronica Falls
4) Sour Candy – […]

Just spotted this, which might be the most positive feedback I’ve yet had from you.
Which just shows what a curmudgeon you are give the number of zero ratings 😉

Well, that’s a clean sweep of downvotes for […]

Looks like you’re just missing one review @StellarX ?

Give me a nudge when you’ve had that and I’ll eviscerate^D^D^D^D^D^D^D^D^D^Dreview your mix accordingly 😉

I think in the end I just *really* wanted to get track 16 on there somewhere as the connection amused me (it’s easily done), but it didn’t quite fit in as part of the main mix.

OK, I’ll put you both out of your misery. The vocals are by Stephen Mallinder and the group is Cabaret Voltaire.

That’s interesting. It’s not Green and I’d have never thought to compare them, but now you mention it I can see some similarity.

Good effort from @tinysuns there commenting on the whole bloated selection 🙂 Glad you liked a lot of it.

11) Interested who you think this is, given that I think your comment suggests you’ve pegged them as a […]

Pretty positive overall, I’ll take that 🙂 I think you’re right too, I really should fight the urge to fill up the whole CD and stick to the track limit otherwise it gets a bit much. I knew tracks 12 was going to […]

Gulp

At the risk of – inadvertently and unintentionally – offending a few previous swappers, I had to psyche myself up to take part in this as previous iterations have either been so far from my tastes that I never […]

Both safely received and have given them both a couple of listens this week, so full reviews to come – probably at the weekend – but just to say in advance that I thoroughly enjoyed both of them.

Your CD just arrived today thanks, will give that a listen during the week.

I should mention that I have deviated (of course) from the rules to a degree in that there are more than 12 tracks on there. The first 12 though are the ones that I would’ve chosen if I’d stuck to that rule, so […]

Finally stuck them in the post last night. Wasn’t getting the opportunity to get out and buy padded envelopes, so – rather than delay further – I improvised something with some leftover cardboard, hopefully […]

I don’t think it’s been announced yet. I ordered from them and it arrived this morning, but by then I’d already had an email saying that the bonus disc had been “delayed but would be sent out as soon as it […]
