Guys, girls and northerners. Apologies for the delay in today”™s Spotisfaction. David and I are currently trialling a later update to afford us some more free time in the morning. It works for us, let”™s see if it works for you.

Today”™s mixtape of the virtual kind is from our good friend (and generally slick muddyfunster) Paul P, who obviously knows his way around the music. Turn left here, down that dark alley, ooh, check out that little shop, it does the best dango. Mmm, dango. I just ate a tomato. I was hoping that when I bit into it, tomato juice would shoot out and hit David right in his ear. You know, RIGHT IN HIS EARHOLE. But it didn”™t. Instead it went all over my beard, hands and keyboard. I blame David for this, and he will soon know the full extent of my wrath. Because he”™ll read this news post. Yes, David, I will have my revenge. Revenge is a dish best served with mint sauce. Like cous cous.

But enough talk, HAVE HAT YOU!

  23. Star Fruits Surf Rider – Cornelius
  24. Tunic (Song For Karen) – Sonic Youth
  25. Smokebelch II (Beatless Mix) – The Sabres Of Paradise

This is just a small selection of what I”™ve loved to listen to throughout this thing we call life along with a couple of things that I”™m liking currently.  The first track is one of the most giddy uplifting tracks you can ever hear, and the second takes me back to my school days, the days of dandruff and mullets (for me anyway, ahem..).  Endtroducing has to be one of my all time favourite records and Midnight in a Perfect world is a perfect encapsulation of the wonder that is DJ Shadow.  Had to put Sparklehorse in (R I P Mark Linkous), truly genius.  I liked Chapterhouse for about 40 minutes in 1991 whilst peering laconically through a very long fringe but this is an ace track I”™ve just rediscovered, .

The Besnard Lakes are new to me and I”™m loving this album at the moment, it has an epic spacious feel about it which greatly appeals to me.  Low very much being an obvious influence on them had to follow.  All rounded off with an ambient classic I preferred the original with beats but it ain”™t on here, the album Sabresonic is well worth a listen even if it is ancient now.

Hope my submission is an enjoyable one, I have much enjoyed checking out other playlists and have picked up a couple of new acts to follow which is what i like.  Adios an”™ ting.

Yo! Good afternoon, wondrous people. Day 2 of the week. This playlist was a cick-through experiment. I”™d find a track, then try and find another similar artist by clicking through on Spotify, until I found something I really liked. It was pretty good fun, but it”™s got a rather random flow to it. Definitely helps you find stuff you wouldn”™t listen to otherwise, though.

A bit harangued at work today, so I”™ll keep it brief and let the playlist speak for itself.

Peace,
David

Morning kids! Monday. Gah-buh-der. What a lovely day to waste sitting indoors, staring mindlessly at a computer screen. Hooray for me!

Today”™s playlist is a combination of songs by bands I”™ve been meaning to check out for a while, some Last.fm recommendations, and some songs by bands I”™ve really liked from other playlists. It”™s got a weird flow to it and is probably a bit more indie than the stuff I”™d normally listen to, but I hope you enjoy regardless.

Love, etc.
David

THE POWER OF TWO

Happy Friday.

Dave has returned to Spotisfaction Towers, one more exam behind him. Well done to Dave for passing yesterdays hardship. To celebrate, we”™ve created a joint playlist. The first half is largely quite upbeat. The second half is more chilled. A special mention goes to the track by The Futureheads “Decent Days And Nights”. Two reasons. Firstly, tonight we are going to see the Futureheads. The second reason is “Decent Days And Nights” is the name of the Cheltenham Underground weekend extravaganza. More information on this is here, and no doubt there will be further news posts over the weekend about it.

Anyway, enjoy today. If people could start leaving some feedback the world will be abetter place. See you all Monday.

Dave is sitting his ISCW today. So everyone send him luck and good vibes.

Okay, so the music today. I fancied something a bit different. We kick off this playlist with some music from the other side of the world. Japan, to be exact. Anyone who knows me knows that I can be a huge Japanophile sometimes and one thing that I was a bit upset about was the lack of Japanese music on Spotify. This seems to be changing, slowly but surely.

As for the rest of the list, I have to admit that most of these tracks are new to me.

Playlist is here

  1. Cornelius – Mic Check
  2. Cornelius – Count Five Or Six
  3. L”™Arc~en~Ciel – The Black Rose
  4. Blood – Maria
  5. D=OUT – Bankoku, Dai Toukyou
  6. 9mm Parabellum Bullet – Trigger
  7. Ayabie – Hinata
  8. Guitar Wolf – Fujiyama Attack
  9. Electric Eel Shock – Bastard!
  10. Ima Robot – A Is For Action
  11. Polysics – Moog is Love
  12. Add N to x – Metal Fingers In My Body
  13. Alpinestars – Carbon Kid
  14. Clor – Love + Pain
  15. The Photo Atlas – Red Orange Yellow
  16. Dirty On Purpose – Send Me An Angel
  17. Neon Horse – Cuckoo!
  18. Heavens – Patent Pending
  19. Les Savy Fav – The Sweet Descends
  20. Forward Russia – Nine
  21. Neon Neon – I Told Her On Alderaan
  22. Tom Vek – Nothing But Green Lights
  23. Field Music – She Can Do What She Wants
  24. Passion Pit – The Reeling
  25. Cut Copy – Hearts On Fire
  26. The Presets – My People

Stick with today”™s playlist, you might find something you like. Also, if you have any more submissions for us then get them sent in – next week I believe we”™re starting to run guest mixes again – so please share some playlists with us. To all that have submitted, I extend my thanks and I promise that they will be ran shortly.

So, ah, David is currently studying to become some kind of Cisco networking guru. Last I heard he was climbing a mountain in Tibet to learn the art of Zen routing. Good luck to him, I say. You unlucky people have to put up with Thom flavoured Spotisfaction until his return.

Again, todays playlist is just a bunch a tracks that I want to listen to. Nothing else behind it.

Click here to give it a listen

  1. The Jesus And Mary Chain – Just Like Honey
  2. A Place To Bury Strangers – Lost Feeling
  3. And So I Watch You From Afar – If It”™s Ain”™t Broke, Break It
  4. Cymbals Eat Guitars – Some Trees
  5. Sparklehorse – Piano Fire
  6. Asobi Seksu – Familiar Light
  7. Deerhunger – Microcastle
  8. The Besnard lakes – Thomasina
  9. A Sunny Day In Glasgow – Ashes Maths
  10. worriedaboutsatan – The Butterfly Effect
  11. Howling Bells – Wishing Stone
  12. Volcano Choir – Seeplymouth
  13. Yo La Tengo – Walking Away From You
  14. Jon Hopkins – Light Through The Veins
  15. amina – Kolapot
  16. Balmorhea – San Solomon (Reprise)
  17. The Orb – Towers Of Dub
  18. Tycho – The Daydream
  19. Nathan Fake – Basic Mountain
  20. Umek – Complikator
  21. Friendly Fires – Paris (Aeroplane Remix)
  22. Kings Of Convenience – The Weight Of My Words (Four Tet Instrumental)
  23. Beck – Broken Drum (Boards Of Canada Remix)
  24. The Whitest Boy Alive – 1517
  25. MONO – Everlasting Light
  26. The Future Sound Of London – Appendage
  27. Stars – Take Me To The Riot

“Just Like Honey” by The Jesus And Mary Chain kicks this off. I watched Lost In Translation for the first time and really loved the soundtrack. One of the last tracks in the film was this, so I had an urge to listen to it. The rest of the tracks on here are, pretty much, last.fm recommendations with a smattering of tracks that I love but haven”™t heard in a while. Hopefully you”™ll find something you like. So, er, give it a listen.

So no David today, then. Yes, it has been a long weekend. Hope everyone had a good one. Mine was pretty fantastic, there was music, there were parties, there were surprise announcements. Needless to say, I”™m the happiest, luckiest person alive today. So with that in mind, I created the below playlist. It”™s not fantastically upbeat or happy, there is no structure, no elitism or any of that rubbish. It”™s just a few tracks that I haven”™t heard in a while lumped together in Spotisfaction form.

Listen to it here, if you will.

  1. Chemical Brothers – Leave Home
  2. Fluke – Atom Bomb (Atomix 6)
  3. Royksopp – Sparks
  4. Global Communication – 5:23 (Maiden Voyage)

There really isn”™t much of an order to this list. As stated, I just wanted to listen to these tracks. Special mention to Chemical Brothers “Leave Home”, as this track reminds me plenty of my youth. I totally wore out my copy of “Exit Planet Dust” which I had on the magic medium of cassette tape. Explosions In The Sky are one of my favourite bands and “First Breath After A Coma” is probably the track that got me into the band. Finally, Blur”™s classic “Coffee & TV”, which Tom Mitchell taught me to play whilst I was rather drunk at a party on Saturday. Good work, sir.

Anyway, get back to it and I will catch you on the other side.

So no David today, then. Yes, it has been a long weekend. Hope everyone had a good one. Mine was pretty fantastic, there was music, there were parties, there were surprise announcements. Needless to say, I”™m the happiest, luckiest person alive today. So with that in mind, I created the below playlist. It”™s not fantastically upbeat or happy, there is no structure, no elitism or any of that rubbish. It”™s just a few tracks that I haven”™t heard in a while lumped together in Spotisfaction form.

Listen to it here, if you will.

  1. Chemical Brothers – Leave Home
  2. Fluke – Atom Bomb (Atomix 6)
  3. Royksopp – Sparks
  4. Global Communication – 5:23 (Maiden Voyage)
  5. Hexstatic – Chase Me
  6. Portishead – Glory Box
  7. Morcheeba – Big Calm
  8. Massive Attack – Black Milk
  9. Bjork – Play Dead
  10. Ratata – Seventeen Years
  11. Erol Alkan – Waves
  12. Daft Punk – Voyager
  13. Orbital – Speedfreak
  14. Noisia – Machine Gun
  15. Photek – Industry Of Noise
  16. Manic Street Preachers – La Tristesse Durera (Scream To A Sigh) Chemical Brothers remix
  17. Placebo – Spite And Malice
  18. Explosions In The Sky – First Breath After A Coma
  19. M83 – Skin Of The Night
  20. The Album Leaf – Twentytwofourteen
  21. Four Tet – Angel Echoes
  22. Thom Yorke – Atoms For Peace

Guys! Massive apologies for being so late with Spotisfaction today – Thom”™s experiencing some technical difficulties with his Spotify, and I got a bit busy at work. No excuses though, we”™re both failhards. Won”™t happen again.

Today is our friend Jo”™s birthday, so huge congratulations from Spotisfaction Towers (well, the David half anyway – Thom will no doubt be offering his own sexy congratulations in person).
In honour of her loveliness, Thom”™s cooked us up a real old-school treat. Honestly, I”™m super excited about hearing this one. I know I”™m biased, but I think it”™s worth the wait!
Bank Holiday weekend, so no Spotisfaction on Monday. Have yourselves a wonderful time, and keep your fingers crossed for me as I”™m away camping and the weather looks like it”™s going to be crap :(
Love,
David

So, Thursday, we meet again. Thom ”˜wrote”™ me a song (read: stole it from Eagles Of Death Metal), and I wanted to share it with you all:

Oh oh oh David Prowse
Gon doo a voodoo until
You feel my power now!
You know I feel so smooth
I”™m always struttin”™ when in motion
Make the little girls dance
Cos”™ i”™m rock n rollin”™
It reallly doesn”™t matter
If you”™re hard to please
Cos”™ when you give me your smile
I”™m yours for straight controllin”™
Oh oh oh David Prowse
Oh oh oh David Prowse

Beautiful.

May Your Days Be Full of Fancy and Wonderment.
David

Thom says:

This is a rock ”˜n”™ roll news post I am doing for you which is called “Thom writes the news post for Dave. Hit it, Brendan”.

Like an eloquant steam roller I have taken it upon myself to jump in and write on David”™s behalf today. Before I fly wildly out of orbit and into the sun, let”™s talk playlist.

Currently, we”™re waiting for a few more submissions to come through before running any more guest mixes. I can”™t remember if I actually told Dave that or not, but I guess when he reads this he will know. I told him he was running today”™s at about 10AM today, so he had to knock this one out pretty quick as a result. He”™s a sweet young thing, isn”™t he? Still, it”™s a good ”˜un. [Editor”™s note: Truth. This man speaks it]

A quick rundown – I think if there was a war after the break up of At The Drive In, Dave would be in Camp Sparta and I would be on the planet Mars Volta. However, I have never been one to let violent conflict get in the way of listening to great music (and let”™s face it, listening to The Mars Volta is akin to a violent and horrific assault on your ears in the best possible way) and as a result I fully endorse the choice of Sparta. Plus, “While Oceana Sleeps” is also a fantastic track. [Editor”™s note: I love The Mars Volta too, I”™d say I prefer them to Sparta, but this track makes my ears bleed pre-cum]

I put an Asobi Seksu track on my last dreampop/shoegaze playlist and I know for a fact that David is a huge fan. If you missed them, check out “I”™m Happy But You Don”™t Like Me” as it is a good indication of the pure aural wonderment that is Asobi Seksu.

I remember The Cramps. I remember “Fever”. I think this was on The Hangover soundtrack. Which was, let”™s me honest, a fantastic soundtrack. This track now officially reminds me of the worst kind of morning after revenge of the night before. I think I”™m missing a tooth.

I really like the work of Ellen Allien. I have yet to hear this particular track with Apparat remixed by Ben Klock, so I”™m very keen to shoot it up and have a listen. You should be too, David usually has spot on taste in these affairs.

The last one I”™m going to pick out is DJ Food – Dark Lady (Skint Mix). The original is pure Ninja Tune classic. In fact, I believe DJ Food is playing Cheltenham Jazz Festival this year, I”™d recommend you check it out.

All in all then, something for everyone on here. Unless you”™re deaf. In which case you get to read this instead.

Little red top English girl,
Spilling out filth but oh so well spoken,
It”™s raining but I can”™t even notice that right now
Life isn”™t too short for a little rock and roll.

Okay, we have impact. Now, go forth and enjoy today. I will be updating tomorrow with a special “Jo has a birthday, Thom has a day off, bank holiday shirt lifting extravaganza” playlist. Later good people of Earth.

Steamrollers can”™t jump.

Yeah. So here is today”™s Spotisfaction. It”™s by none other than the man known only as Kevin Atkinson. Listen to it, because you can and right now I can”™t. I ask myself, what would Humphrey DeForest Bogart do in this situation. Probably look slick, smoke and stick his neck out for nobody. Certified cool.

Yes it”™s me again bringing you another playlist for your delectation. If you”™ve listened to or looked at my previous submissions you may have noticed a heavy guitar based indie vibe and this time the guitars are still there but they are playing more of a bluesy riff. Yes that”™s right I am bringing the blues to Spotisfaction with a selection of blues and blues rock

I”™ve had to trim it a fair bit as my first one was well over 2 hours long which I thought might be a bit much. I have a mix of classic blues and blues rock alongside some more modern exponents of the genre. I have tried to stay away from the more depressive blues tracks (yeah I know that”™s quite unlike me) and keep it a bit more upbeat. I have also tried to stick mainly to proper blues artists rather than blues influenced ones (of which there are many) but some have snuck in.

And so on to the tracks themselves”¦..

When deciding what BB King track to choose I saw the When Love Comes to Town and felt I had to include it just for my good friend Thom.

I was going to include the original Derek and the Dominos version of Layla but I like Eric Clapton”™s unplugged version so much I went with that instead and chose a different Derek and the Dominos track.

I heard Girl Is On My Mind by The Black Keys (unfortunately not on Spotify) a couple of years ago and was immediately hooked by their blues sound and went out and got their entire back catalogue.

Whilst True Blood might be yet another modern take on vampire mythology the title track by Jace Everett is a great tune even if a bit more country than blues.

Catch you all on the flipside

Wordy stuff

Belated greetings.  I”™ve been promising the boys this for weeks so here it is.  I started trying to compile a lot of my obscure favourites that I thought not many would have heard before but was foiled because it seems Spotify hasn”™t heard of them either.  So I decided to go with just some tracks I like, regardless.

It starts off a bit psychedelic, then some indie (including The Auteurs which are my all time favs) with a heavy nod to the great Creation Records, then just some favourites in an eclectic ending.  Some highlights include Martin Carr swapping his plectrum for a razor blade on C”™Mon Kids, Johnny Marr slipping effortlessly through the gears on The Queen Is Dead, classic Suede and The Cure and Primal Scream at their drugged up best.  The rest are mainly a list of my favourite bands or albums and one song that I think is a good representation of said band or album.

Most are going back to my days (or should that be nights) at Uni where I gained a 1st in music and slightly less than that for my real degree.

Enjoy kids.

RIP Alex Chiltern, Big Star (Dec 28 1950 ”“ Mar 17 2010)

Morning kids. Today we must raise a toast to our fallen comrade, Thom, who for reasons outside of his control has to spend the day music-less at work. Hell on Earth, friends.

Today”™s playlist is amazing! Brilliant! The best playlist we”™ve ever had! It”™s also by our boss, Alex Hedley (please don”™t fire us, sir!). All joking aside, it”™s a cracker – ta, dude.

Also, for those with the new, shiny, spangly updated Spotify, feel free to add me – I”™m currently sharing every single Spotisfaction playlist, tagged with the person who submitted it and in date order. Go me!

Morning all. Rockin”™ weekend – I decorated my bathroom, which mainly involved using a massive hammer drill and listening to Huey Morgan on 6 Music.

No apologies for today, my friends. Today”™s playlist I class as easy listening, as it is a Friday and everyone needs to get some weekend up inside their guts. So that is the way it is.

It”™s Friday the 23rd of April. This means a number of things. First, a big shout out to Sean Ferguson, who will be celebrating his birthday tonight. Guess where? The Railway, Cheltenham which also happens to be a Cheltenham Underground night. Today is chock full of good reasons to go down to the Railway and have yourself a super mega fun time. Playing tonight at the Underground are such fantastic acts as Stressechos, Men Diamler and Mark Hole – check the link about for the full bill.

Right, enough guff let”™s get to the good stuff. Once again, thank you for listening, submitting, commenting and just being generally awesome.

  33. Catch 22 – Keasbey Nights
  34. NOFX – Bottles To The Ground
  35. The Offspring – Amazed
  36. Pennywise – Bro Hymn

Some quick and dirty hightlights.

First up is Iggy Pop with “Lust for Life”. Remember the film Trainspotting? Yeah, that”™s right.

With that behind us, we move on the more traditional part of the playlist. People have commented that “Masses Against The Classes” wouldn”™t be their first Manic Street Preachers choice. However, I love playing this on guitar, it”™s a vitriolic release to me, simple and straight ahead. As such, just listening to it to exercise any negative thoughts that I may succumb to during the day.

Similar story with “Caught By The Fuzz” by Supergrass. I”™ve got a soft spot for Supergrass and this track always makes me bounce around.

“Animal Nitrate” by Suede makes an appearance here to silence my boss, who was highly critical of my last Suede choice being “Filmstar”, due to the fact it was from the post-Butler era. No matter what he says, Coming Up was a fantastic album and a big hats off to Richard Oakes for stepping up to the plate back in the day.

“Once” by Pearl Jam is on there for two reasons. Firstly, being a huge Nirvana fan when I was a kid, I was dead set against Eddie Vedder. Eventually gave Ten a listen to and kicked myself over and over again for being so closed minded. Never again. Secondly, this track has helped me through some pretty dark times in my life. It also leads into the next stage of the playlist”¦ grunge.

Okay, so Ash aren”™t grunge. But Mudhoney were, and Ash were pretty big fans of Grunge back in the day. Hence this awesome cover of “Who You Drivin”™ Now”. It”™s catchy, it”™s catchy. Could do with some more fuzz, though. Big Muffage! Oh did I mention that growing up both Ash and Mudhoney were two of my favourite bands? There is another band that I”™m a fan of too – and that band is Sonic Youth. Keeping in with the Mudhoney connection, you”™ll also find their cover of “Touch Me, I”™m Sick” on this playlist.

Soundgarden”™s 4th July is quite personal for me, but I won”™t go into why. I love the tuning in this song, Christ the entire track gives me shivers.

Many people seem to see Nirvana as a guilty pleasure these days. This is wrong. There was a reason that they were so successful and that is because Kurt was a fantastic songwriter. This song, entitled “Sappy” was probably written as early as 1987, yet never featured on any album. It was recorded a bunch of times at various studios but Kurt was never happy with the results. In my eyes the definitive version was the version recorded with Albini at Pachyderm Studios in 1993. However, this version doesn”™t appear to be on Spotify so you will have to listen to the Jack Endino recording instead. Yes, I could get a job as a Nirvana historian I know.

I”™m going to leave this here. But all I will say is “Bro Hymn” by Pennywise. It is fantastic. I wish they had the tribute version on here, but alas they don”™t.

Keep it peasant, people.

Morning all you beautiful people. Today we”™ve got a real treat for you. I really love it when people theme their playlists – me? I”™m rubbish. I try and get them to flow, but I never really have a decent theme for any of mine. This one, however, has inspired me to create a similar one of my own and I hope it offers inspiration to yourselves, too.

So here”™s Simon Mogg: father, husband, video game tsar, and genuinely beautiful man.
Love,
David
Hey Dave,
Not sure if this is the sort of thing you”™re looking for. Not exactly music that”™ll be new to people but it is very personal. I wont be offended if you dont use it. Either way I”™ve enjoyed compiling it.

  37. Aretha Franklin ”“ Think
  38. The Commitments ”“ Try A Little Tenderness

”¦and now the Blurb.
This is a demonstration of how my musical taste has changed and developed over the years since i started listening to music.
Tracks 1-3 (age 10-14)
I apologise for the first track but i remember that PJ and Duncan – Psyche was the first album I ever owned (on tape). I thought I was cool. Turned out I was wrong. I also remember my sister owning Twist and shout on vinyl and listening to it constantly. As for renegade master it”™s a track that is good (even to this day) at high volume.


Tracks 4-12 (age 15-18)
I spent this time in an exceptionally bad band. hence minority. we covered it. (there should be some blink 182 here as well but spotify didnt have it). Also I was heavily involved in my school christian union which explains the bit of christian music (Steve, Delirious? and DC Talk). My ever my all is (in my opinion) a perfect indie style track. Guitar led with somr interesting twiddly bits. And then like any good teenager I started listening to Nu-Metal.


Tracks 13-23 (age 19-22)

While I was at university my CD collection increased from 30 CDs to just under 1000. There is a lot of music in there but this is the pick of it. There is a selection of Ska punk from DJing at the local punk night. Richard Cheese and Weird Al have made some awful tracks in their time but these 2 I personally think are inch perfect comedy covers. And then yet more nu-metal from being Vice President of the uni Rock society. I hasten to add that these tracks are of a slightly better quality nu-metal than the earlier tracks. I suppose thats all personal opinion mind.


Tracks 23-34 (age 23-25)
In this time I DJ”™d in a (slightly alternative) Dingy night club. Hence the fairly popular guitar led Rock. Dimension and Hundred Mile city are both examples of songs built round astonishing guitar riffs. I never get bored of the way the Ocean Colour Scene track starts. The Living End are an underratred australian punk three piece. I discovered them through the guitar hero game but the rest of their back catalogue is well worth a listen aswell.
The next 5 tracks are what I like to call ”˜volume”™ tracks. On the whole I dont like them much. But when played at ear bleeding volume in a club they are excellent.


Tracks 35-38 (age 25 – old)

I quit my job in the club and decided I wanted cheerful music with a tune and less swearing for my baby to listen to. You can not go wrong with old Rock n Roll and Rythmn and Blues. I can listen to this sort of thing all day. Amazing vocals and nobody is trying too hard to do interesting and new things. Its very simple but brilliant.
I want to add I still listen to all of this music. I never get tired of any of it. in fact i”™m off to listen to Limp Bizkit. Brilliant.

Morning all you beautiful people. Today we”™ve got a real treat for you. I really love it when people theme their playlists – me? I”™m rubbish. I try and get them to flow, but I never really have a decent theme for any of mine. This one, however, has inspired me to create a similar one of my own and I hope it offers inspiration to yourselves, too.

Tracks 23-34 (age 23-25)
In this time I DJ”™d in a (slightly alternative) Dingy night club. Hence the fairly popular guitar led Rock. Dimension and Hundred Mile city are both examples of songs built round astonishing guitar riffs. I never get bored of the way the Ocean Colour Scene track starts. The Living End are an underratred australian punk three piece. I discovered them through the guitar hero game but the rest of their back catalogue is well worth a listen aswell.
The next 5 tracks are what I like to call ”˜volume”™ tracks. On the whole I dont like them much. But when played at ear bleeding volume in a club they are excellent.


Tracks 35-38 (age 25 – old)

I quit my job in the club and decided I wanted cheerful music with a tune and less swearing for my baby to listen to. You can not go wrong with old Rock n Roll and Rythmn and Blues. I can listen to this sort of thing all day. Amazing vocals and nobody is trying too hard to do interesting and new things. Its very simple but brilliant.
I want to add I still listen to all of this music. I never get tired of any of it. in fact i”™m off to listen to Limp Bizkit. Brilliant.

Yeah, hello. It”™s Wednesday. I”™m feeling rather apathetic in general today so you”™ll excuse me for not performing virtual fellatio on each and every one of you ingrates in this mornings news post. Ha, Dave just called me an arsehole. What a prick. Anyway, enough of the banter and on with what is important in life – music. We”™ve had a few more excellent submissions that I”™m pretty hyped about running. Just to let everyone know, we”™ve abandoned running playlists in the order that they are submitted. The reasoning behind this should be easy enough to understand. We”™re trying to keep the playlists varied, so we are going to try not to run similar playlists back to back. Don”™t worry, however. ALL SUBMISSIONS WILL BE PUBLISHED. I swear on my Fender Jaguar, my Harajuku sunglasses and my hearing. Oh and er, keep up the submissions. Your submissions sustain me.

Right, today we have the fine young man with the handle of Rich Young stepping up to provide something to help us get one step closer to the weekend. So a big thanks to Rich for providing the soundtrack to Wednesday! Go Rich!

Virtual hugs

This playlist is simply a compilation of tracks that I love. Track by track:

I Wanna Be Adored – One of the best album openers of all time from one of the best albums of all time. What better track to sit at the top of my first playlist.

Alone, together – I love The Strokes first album and this is a great track. I love the way the song builds. The last 30 seconds are particularly cool.

Mirror Kissers – This track reminds me of the first time I saw The Cribs live. They are a great band, full of energy and full of tunes.

As above, so below – I”™m not a massive fan of Klaxons but I love this tune from Myths of the Near Future.

This Momentary – I like Delphic. I”™ve been listening to their album a lot in the car. This track is one of the highlights.

True Faith – I love the lyrics to this tune. I also love the tune. Beautiful.

Situation – One of my favourite electronic tracks of all time.

Empire Ants – Highlight off the new Gorillaz album. Beautiful track from what is in my opinion album of the year so far.

Can You Give It – I like the video to this track as it focuses around the cheese rolling event in Gloucester. It”™s also a decent tune.

Evening/Morning – I love the guitar on this tune. Another band I have been listening to a lot on my commute recently.

Secret Door – Superb track from Arctic Monkeys best album to date.

The Boy With The Thorn In His Side – A beautiful classic, plain and simple.

Last Broadcast – This track reminds me of the time I met my wife. It was a good summer!

Heart of Gold – Classic! Love the harmonica.

All Apologies – I love this track, particularly this version taken from their MTV Unplugged set.

Picture Book – Takes me back to my childhood.

Cousins – This track is quite hectic but I love it. The video is great too!

Muzzle #1 – The Whip are a great band. Seen them live a few times now. They were particularly awesome on a wet Friday morning at Glastonbury last year and got the crowd going. Then the sun came out. This is a highlight from X Marks Destination.

A Forest – A beautifully haunting track.

Monkey Man – I love the guitar playing onthis track.Tin Soldier – Classic! I love the drums on this.

Pretty Little Ditty – Reminds me of hot summer days when I was supposed to be revising for my GCSE”™s. Lovely guitar tone.Long Time Coming – One word, Summer!!

Nature Springs – I adore The Good, The Bad and The Queen album and to be honest could have put any of the tracks from it in this list. One of the albums of the last decade.

Glory Box – This track used to get played a lot on the jukebox in my local during the 90”™s. It reminds me of being pissed and stoned and brings a smile to my face whenever I hear it.

Enjoy!
