something something you can check out any time you like something something 🙂 Thanks, will attempt to come up with something interesting to say at some point!

Heh. That’s a bit of a coincidence, haven’t logged on here for ages (hello everyone!) and then I happen to wander back in just as a CDSwap gets announced. Yep, count me in please.

Something new here from a very familiar name, Elizabeth Fraser (ex Cocteau Twins of course) has released some tracks – with her partner Damon Reece – under the name of “Sun’s Signature”, and they sound as lovely […]

1) “Give Me The Sonic Kill (1999-2003)” – Pop Threat
2) “Chocataw Ridge”
3) “Sorted!” – Party Day

Meanwhile at the other end of the spectrum, I got an email earlier with a tempting opportunity to pay £9 for Average Sex at Sneaky Pete’s in September…

That Esther Phillips one was the song I described as “going a bit Randy Crawford” isn’t it? If you’re saying that it’s a Van Morrison cover (I’ve probably heard less than half a dozen of his songs, I did fall […]

Heh. I did that exact same thing this week of hearing something good, sticking it into google to find where I could buy it, and finding that I already had it on a compilation!

It is nice surprise I agree, but […]

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 […]
