Evening all, addresses sent out and tracklisting (pretty much) sorted out, game on!

My increasingly inaccurately named “shortlist” has reached 42 tracks now, so I really ought to start whittling that down over the weekend!

(Which is a spectacularly uninteresting observation of course, but […]

The future starts here…

Good work chaps, looking forward to seeing how this turns out.

There was a bit of a lull in the middle with En Vogue / Maria McKee / Londonbeat , but it overall it was pretty good with KLF, Betty Boo, Monie Love & Primal Scream on later, just so long as you ignore Elton John […]

The Damnably label (home to Otoboke Beaver & Say Sue Me among others) are streaming a load of live sets by their roster as it’s their 14th birthday, so currently watching Grrl Gang doing their thing from Jakarta. […]

Half the fun is finding creative ways of stretching the interpretation of the rules to the edge of breaking point 🙂

I think you’re right actually. Even as I was typing that I was having doubts 🙂

I might be wrong (and at risk of being seen to be attempting to influence the draw) but I don’t think we’ve ever drawn each other have we? Which is a bit of a shame as we have fairly compatible tastes.

As the lockdown is still preventing me from returning my old work laptop (which is currently the only way I have of burning CDs) then I’ll sign-up again please.

I went for “Body Of An American” (have been re-watching THE WIRE recently!) which was pointless, and “Fiesta” which scored 1 point.

This was a few years ago now, so I couldn’t say! Pretty sure there were some Italian planes among the pointless answers, so I think you’d have been safe.

I think I went for Defiant, Blenheim and – maybe – DO17.

I think the only time I’ve ever come up with a clean sweep of three pointless answers in the final round was for “Aeroplanes that took part in the Battle of Britain”.

Clearly I’m not as much of a deviant as some others around here… 😉

Heh, seven of my choices didn’t a manage to pick up a vote from anyone else 🙂

Largely expected, but a bit surprising that absolutely nobody managed to find a place for “Surfer Rosa” on their list.

Nice […]

Based on about five minutes of thought to avoid vanishing down a rabbit-hole…

1 – House Tornado – Throwing Muses
2 – Will Anything Happen – The Shop Assistants
3 – Songs About Fucking – Big Black
4 – The […]

Saw a shop selling pots and pans last summer (forget where) called “For Those About To Cook”.

Down the road in Burntisland there’s a sweet shop called “Aye Candy”, because what else would you call one in Scotland?

Brighton janglepop veterans The Popguns posted this about him too

“Sad news today. Matthew Seligman who produced our Crazy ep and lent his prodigious bass abilities to some tracks on Love Junky, died yesterday.…[Read more]

Thanks for that. All sounds entirely sensible.

I was wondering that too. I’ve got a blood test scheduled for next week (to check the effects of a three month course of medication) that I’d assumed would be cancelled, but had a text yesterday confirming that it […]

Thanks, and a (belated) happy anniversary to you.
