They do a rather nice “Are You Now, Or Have You Ever Been, A Member Of The Blue Aeroplanes?” t-shirt with a list of all the past members on the back.

That’s true.

But that’s good as you can then follow them on Twitter to pick recommendations which make you cooler than the other 99.9% of the population 🙂

By the time they’ve noticed this, it’s been in progress for 2+ years and is on the way back out again.

Having said that, its an excellent CD.

(I haven’t bought it myself as I’ve got most of the tracks […]

A few comments from my behind-the-scenes copy of the @stellarx mix…

…which I nearly didn’t post as I really haven’t got much that’s positive to say, but I’ve been on the end of some fairly savage maulings […]

Ah right, I’ll post my behind-the-scenes feedback on your one at the weekend then…

Brace yourself 😉

There is a playlist out there for this

That Bella and Me track isn’t on Spotify though, so I’ve replaced it with the a-side of their only single, which doesn’t really fit the theme as such…

Ah right, sorry. I had a quick scan and didn’t spot it.

Heh. That’s pretty much what expected TBH 🙂 Which is generally positive, so that’s good.
A little surprised you didn’t recognise 3 as I know you like a bit of disco.
14 is nothing to do with the folks (Mum was […]

Was that aimed at my tracklisting? Have to admit that I wasn’t familiar with the track, was just browsing through a pile of Mojo/Uncut covermounts for something offbeat and spotted that with it’s reference to […]

Feedback for @bamber then.

Haven’t given this as many listens as I would normally aim for, but as that deadline is looming…

1) Political funk workout, makes for a soulful and groovy opening. Great […]

Oh that’s good, glad you found something you liked enough to part with actual cash for.

Had a listen to that folky version, and I definitely prefer the album version too.

I really enjoyed my copy too, should be able to do the feedback thing tomorrow.

A couple of notes where I haven’t already commented

2) Sixties girly beatpop as Bamber speculated, but from Sweden. Lifted from the Ace Records compilation “The Girls Want The Boys! – Sweden’s Beat Girls 1964 – […]

I like to think that there’s something for everyone in my mixes! 🙂

Which does also mean that it’s quite rare for anyone to like a whole one, but there y’go.

Hope you responded with “Oh no it isn’t”

(Come on, somebody had to say it!)

That’s all pretty positive, pleased you enjoyed – by the sound of it – nearly all of it!

A few hints/notes ahead of the Big Reveal then.

3) Gloria Estefan is a decent guess as I think she covered this, but […]

While I may be a bit “deviant” in my tastes, nominating NZ hip hop acts is a bit much even for me.

Though I did come close to including “Spaces” by Yosi Horikawa.

“Horikawa is not just a producer or musician […]

Profuse apologies to little Gary.

Here’s my I Think I’m Probably On The Wrong Messageboard list for this year

1) The Twilight Sad – “It Won’t Be Like This All The Time”
2) Petrol Girls – “Cut and Stitch”
3) Pip Blom – “Boat”
4) Flowdan – […]

The “Tiny Changes” album of covers of the songs on “The Midnight Organ Fight” by Frightened Rabbit in tribute to the late Scott Hutchison is full of good stuff.

This is the Twilight Sad doing “Floati […]
