Tracklisting time!

1 New Thing // St Etienne
Some close guesses on this one, but clearly Sarah Cracknell’s voice isn’t quite as distinctive as I thought 🙂 It is little lightweight perhaps and might not have […]

That’s more positive feedback than I’d expected as we’re clearly coming from different start points taste-wise, glad you found some stuff you liked. Will put up details of tracklisting / commentary tonight […]

Blimey, I never expect to put together something where anyone’s going to like every track, so I’ll take this as a major win 🙂 Glad it went down so well.

It’s a fair cop, was probably only a matter of time! 🙂

Had no idea RAOTW wasn’t a Quo song, I learned something today!

Mind you, I’ve never heard anything else by him either and had no idea he was in CCR (which isn’t a surprise admittedly as I can only think of […]

Second review here for @ vulpe-vulpes.

Has taken me a while to get my head around everything going on in this selection of songs, unlike the packaging which was extremely impressive, and I think feedback […]

I get that a lot…

I’ve just read that back and “Claire Grogan / Sorry / Dry Cleaning” sounds like one of those Tell A Story In Six Words challenges…

“Claire Grogan! (sorry) Dry Cleaning?”

My last was Ladytron back in March last year (hard on the heels of Claire Grogan / Sorry / Dry Cleaning in the preceding couple of weeks) in Edinburgh at La Belle Angele. Decent enough venue, though looking like […]

Indeed. Some mainly positive comments in my first official review too, looks like putting this one together (relatively) quickly without over-thinking it was the way to go!

Heh, sorry but I’ll have to put the skids under that latest guess at #10 🙂

I don’t know much about the act TBH, it’s lifted from the excellent Cherry Red “Big Gold Dreams” compilation. The singer went on t […]

Thanks for that, I took my lead from the opening “this has been perhaps the most enjoyable selection of songs I have encountered yet” comment (which was very nice to hear) so didn’t take anything that followed as […]

As he’s had his proper feedback, a few bonus thoughts on the mix from @StellarX, though probably not too many as most of what I wrote down has already been covered!

1) As with everyone else, couldn’t quite work […]

OK, we’re getting left behind a bit here, so let’s get things moving with some thoughts on Retropath’s mix.

First up, apologies if this comes across a bit negative, which it probably will do as a certain amount […]

My definition of a “tune” will often differ from what another person thinks of as one, but this might hit the spot for you. The song is brand new, but the band have been around for ages.

Track #5 – I recognise that from the lyric and – as you guessed – I do approve of it. 🙂

I’ve “skillfully” avoided this by burning my discs four weeks before sending, so have pretty much forgotten what I put on there by this point in the proceedings 🙂

Delayed by self-isolation (all OK now) and general lethargy, but they’re in the post as of this lunchtime, including the traditional extra copy for @StellarX as Wales are doing far too well in the football and he […]

To return to the original question for a moment

Haven’t sent these out yet (though I’m still missing an address anyway *cough*) as I’m self-isolating at the moment after a ping from the Track ‘n’ Trace people. So won’t be able to get to the post office until next week.
