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!!

Wow - excited!! Entertainment! is one of my favourite albums of all time :-)

“I Told You I Was ill” is on Spike Milligan’s grave stone I think. “The Head…” is an interesting track name as well. So pleased to have some news, this is really good stuff!

Here’s my effort…

http://derm.muxtape.com/

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 :-)

^Actually, don’t bother :-)

Fantasy football, eh? :-D

^Name me a better paper

I read at least some of it online nearly every day at work… it’s got a good footy section too

Intriguing. We’ll see what it’s like when it’s launched; if more people want to do that one it’s fine – still only 8 people signed up so far

@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

8 teams entered already - keep ‘em coming!

By the way, if andrew / silverginger pm’s me his address I’ll send him a mix CD (as I promised the winner would get one at the start of last year’s thread)

“bintley” lol

This is my team… I’m sure it’ll change a lot in the next month and a half too. All depends whether Ronaldo, Adebayor, and Lampard hang about, and who else comes in.

Cech [che]
Ferdinand [mun], Terry [che], Wheater [mid], Baird [ful], Dunne [man]
Ireland [man], Modric [tot]
Torres [liv], Ashton [whm], Rooney [mun] (c)

subs - Scwarzer [ful], kranjcar [por], mendes [por], kilbane [wig]

I agree that Torres will be top scorer… will prob have a bet on it in fact. I think Portsmouth will have a good season too - FA Cup winners last year, and this year it looks like they’ll have a forward line of Crouch and Defoe

I no. Its just not good enuff

^”too good”… not like me :-/

Sorry, they were to good ;-)

Yes, there’s 6 weeks to go. But that just gives us more time to get more entrants than the 32 we had last year!

This is the code you need to join this year’s WOMble league:

6445-2269

You can use the same log in details / password as last year if you have them. You can also change your team as much you want before 16th August, when the season starts.

Lets see if 5th Place Junomy can be toppled from their throne :-)

And WOMbles only please!

The “punch myself in the nuts” comment was something an old boss of mine, used to say when any of us made minor infractions that he didn’t want to punish with formal disciplinary action.

I hope you are a soldier then :-/

Anyway, back on topic… probably the media release I’ve most looked forward to ever was the movie release of Silent Hill - I’d check the IMDB boards for it nearly every day for probably something like a year before it came out (sad, I know). Anyway, every little snippet of information or fact about the movie was endlessly picked over and argued about by all the hardcore fans until when it finally came out you couldn’t help but be disappointed. So I think this approach of media blackout (practically) from T? has the potential to work well.

A couple of things worry me about it (like Michael being messed up on Jagermeister that time to the extent where he could barely play) - I hope that all’s well in camp T?, and that if it’s not, they at least channel it all into a kick ass album ]-I

Are you guys both really soldiers?

I know that sounds camp… eh… there’s not really much more I can add to that :-s

That’s a bit harsh - don’t you work with stroke victims?

Tut tut Mrs H… we don’t call them “victims” >:-<

We call them “survivors”

He has another video called “Joey” - it’s not the Therapy? song though.

That would just be too obscure ;-)

When I was there I wasn’t a fan of any of the bands playing, but it’s still the best festival I’ve ever been to.

I know most festivals say they’re “more than just music”, but with Glastonbury it really is true. Best craic was well away from the stages. I don’t think I’ll be able to make it next year, hopefully be back the year after tho

Were u not back a bit early Jordan?

I was there in ‘05, saw a guy walking past wearing a Therapy? “Have A Nice Day… In Hell” t-shirt and I also shouted manically after him as well, think I even offered him £20 for it. So maybe it’s Glasto tradition :-)

Nice one Dermot ;)

Cheers mate!

Ended up with +£45 for the tournament after all… phew! :-)

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

shit…that was off topic

here come the thought police

Is that why u haven’t been about man?

Just looking at those scorecasts I did above… I’m not confident about any of them :-/

I did 3 scorecasts:

£4 on Torres to score first and Spain to win 1-0 (25-1)
£2 on Podolski to score first and Spain to win 2-1 (80-1)
£1 on Torres to score first and Germany to win 2-1 (80-1)

I do mine online with Paddy Power, they have a special on it - if Fabregas scores in 90 mins, u get any scorecasts refunded. Who do you do yours with man?

Babyteeth - Punishment Kiss
Pleasure Death - Fantasy Bag
Nurse - Neck Freak
Troublegum - Turn
Infernal Love - A Moment of Clarity
Semi Detached - Black Eye Purple Sky
Suicide Pact - Jam Jar Jail
Shameless - This One’s For You
High Anxiety - Who Knows
NANE - Dead
OCFA - Deluded Son

I won £25 on Germany 2-0 Poland, but that’s it. I’ve made an overall loss of £35 (unless Klose comes up with the goods in the final).

Not good. He scored one last night - he’d basically need a hat trick in the final now :-(
