Wall of Mouths

^Actually, it seems to be gettin’ more American pop punky as it goes along, which isn’t really my sort of thing - but I thought the first couple of tracks were great.

@Dusty - no they have to be MP3s (which is why it took me so bloody long converting all the tracks to upload)

@30 seconds - cheers, love that album, even though it’s their first it was the last Xiu Xiu album I got into - probably my favourite now. I see your mix has some classics in there alright!

All songs currently in my top list of 2008

Loving this one - loads of new bands I haven’t bothered getting into now on one easily listenable page. Cheers!!

Here’s my effort…

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 :-)

@Gentz luckily for you they’ve announced they’re playin London Camden Barfly next month (16th August) :-)

They’re also playin Kilkenny on 23rd August apparently

I think I saw them twice around ‘05. Saw Whipping boy in ‘06 as well, they were great too

“A gang of poncy little masturbators” - ouch.

i love coldplay, i just bought their new album, chris martin has more talent in his fingernails than the sex pistols have in their whole bodies,

sex pistols are a talentless band. yes they helped introduce the punk genre but thats it,

Mate, I wish you had a lastfm account on your profile so I could tell if you’re joking? You are joking, right? Tell me you are!! :-p

^As in Jonathan Yeah? (“He had the question mark added by depol”)

More free NIN stuff

I’m a big fan of Deerhunter… Crystal Castles and A Place to Bury Strangers are OK too… never heard of Does It Offend You, Yeah? Terrible name tho

Knife Play by Xiu Xiu on repeat

@Graeme I’d heard them ages ago and thought they sounded pretty bland. But then I heard a song on Radio 1 yesterday morning and it was the first time in *years* - probably since John Peel - that I sat up and took notice of something Radio 1 were playing. Turned out it was Oxford Comma by them, downloaded the album but haven’t heard it all yet. I think that song is superb though!

Since my 2005 post at the top of this thread, I’ ve got into them a lot more - seen them live a couple of times etc. I really liked ‘Fall Heads Roll’, but haven’t enjoyed the last two as much

^I was hoping that one was gonna be a cover of the Soundgarden song.

I’m enjoying the whole album now. The artwork looks class as well

Haha. Will do!

Heard a few of the songs earlier, I like the mellow instrumental stuff but the booming synth drum beats ones I don’t (and I think they’re gonna sound dated really quickly).

Glad to see Trent’s keeping up his tradition of naming songs after Twilight Zone episodes though (“The Four of us Are Dying”).

I haven’t had a chance to listen to this new album yet either, will hopefully have time this evenin. Gotta put Ghosts on my iPod too

I think it sounds very ‘With Teeth’ too. If it were on the album, I think it’d be one of the better songs though

Boris - Pink

Like Butters said, Requiem and Natural Born Killers are great - Lost Highway too.

I really like the soundtracks for Royal Tenenbaums and Life Aquatic too

Great link Gav. Read ‘electrics’ posts for the first 30 pages or so, think I’ll save the rest for work :-)

I’m really gonna have to get something by The Jesus Lizard, he bigs them up so much in that thread

I really like the US mix of the Holy Bible… *possibly* prefer it to the original even

^Wasn’t that in a comedy show once? TFI Friday or somthin?

I was in Homebase a couple of months ago to get a new shower head and Michael McKeegan was a couple of places in front of us in the queue. I knew who it was though so it doesn’t really count. But my girlfriend didn’t, so that does ;-)

I hear Bats For Lashes are supporting on their forthcoming tour. Saw them last summer, not really my kind of thing but should be decent enough

I’ll give this a go. Out of the albums I’ve heard

1- Holy Bible (obviously)
2- Everything Must Go
3- Gold Against The Soul
4- Generation Terrorists
5- Know Your Enemy
6- Send Away The Tigers
7- This Is My Truth

Never heard Lifeblood

NIN - Ghosts
Lots of different stuff by The Cramps

My $5 download didn’t work either - I got the whole thing in a matter of minutes off some blog though. It’s pretty good stuff, quite ambient, pretty much what I was expecting tbh :)

I know, it was nice surprise for a Monday morning :) I’m having real problems with the download though ;-(

Doh - I didn’t realise it wasn’t the whole thing :-( Thiank I’ll go for the $5 option too then

Dunno - I’m in work as well! It’s supposed to be a bit like “And All That Could Have Been”. It’s entirely instrumental too
