Took *ages*… but was good fun too. I’m gonna use it as the mix CD I promised for Silver Ginger in the fantasy footy thread (for winning last year’s).

Looking forward to listening to all of yours, I’ll let you know what I think :-)

This is great. I’m going to listen to ‘Knife Play’ now.

Here’s one I made a while back. Aweeeeeeeeeesome.

I hope this is a step in the right direction in terms of sound (IE: backwards). Hate to say it but their recent output hasn’t been too much to shout about.
Entertainment! is one of my favourite albums of all time. Stunning record. Getting Andy Gill on board HAS to be a good thing.

I saw MBV at the ICA on saturday, and they were incredible. You Made Me Realise was the loudest thing I’ve ever heard.
Well worth going to see, but I’m not sure it would work so well in a big venue.

He has a point - Chris Martin is humourless. He walked out in a strop from a Radio 4 interview last week.
I find it funny that their new album is trying to be ‘credible’ as well. Getting Brian Eno to produce it, and all the talk beforehand of striving for a Sigur Ros/Arcade Fire sound… yet on their new record they still come across as an over-produced, grandiose sub-U2. French revolution attire and unconventional instruments isn’t going to change that perception.
