I think I might do some commentary on mine too, as I've nothing better on right now.
The Smiths - Panic
I can remember listening to this as a little kid in my parents' car. The Smiths are a band I like quite a bit, but quite a few of the more situated lyrics are lost on me. It's not quite the same as experiencing a band the first time around I suppose, as often the context is lost. Still a good song though and a very stereotypical and overworshipped band to be starting my random 10 with.
British Sea Power - How Will I Ever Find My Way Home?
Now, this is more like my generation and one of my favourite BSP songs. It's nothing spectacular, it's not from one of the two more revered albums adn it's not even a particularly original track in musical or lyrical terms. It's good though, and I like it. A lot.
The Young Knives - Dialling Darling
How pathetically indie. I like this song though, while others of theirs I find are a bit bland, even turgid in some cases. I went to see them live once - probably the most violent gig I've been to, which I found was highly ironic.
Stereophonics - You Stole My Money Honey
I could take or leave this song. It appears to be about a woman who was once a friend of the family until she removed herself to a place quite far away. Apart from the bit about the money of course. She was mainly a kleptomaniac as opposed to an out-and-out money thief...
Thom Yorke - The Eraser
It's an unusual album, but I like how the Yorke/Radiohead sound has matured. That's all I have to say about this really, other than I was listening to this song once when the a stair had an existence failure in a low rise block of flats and almost left me dangling. What fool makes stairs in a block of flats out of polished wood and then doesn't replace the knackered old ones?
Ocean Colour Scene - The Day We Caught The Train
Mainly on my iPod as a token gesture to their presence amongst the proliferation of CDs from the 1990s hanging about the house. I can't tell you much about this song because as catchy as it may seem, it's a bit boring and I'd only listen to it if it came up on shuffle.
Manic Street Preachers - P. C. P.
The Holy Bible is an excellent album and the Manics definitely don't get the recognition anymore for their earier and much punkier days. P. C. P. isn't one of their best but it is on what is by-and-large their best album lyrically, and perhaps even musically.
Blur - Gene By Gene
There's an intriguing quality about what may well soon be confirmed as not Blur's last album. It doesn't have the musical joustings and britpoppy clear-cut hits of previous albums, but at the same time it seems better for it. Gene By Gene is one of the better songs they produced as a 3 piece.
Queens of the Stone Age - Go With The Flow
Because sometimes we need to throw ourselves around in quasi-spasms.
Pixies - Bone Machine
A band that get a lot of credit, much of it deserved. Apparently they didn't at the time, but that doesn't stop Bone Machine being amongst those of their songs that I appreciate most. That and Alec Eiffel, and a couple of others that I can't name now (Broken Face or somesuch springs to mind for one of them) being my favourite Pixes tracks.

Oh, better do some randomness then... 01. Thee Silver Mt. Zion Memorial Orchestra & Tra-La-La Band – "13 Blues for Thirteen Moons" (2008) 16'46" 02. Zombi – "Cosmic Powers" (2009) 6'47" 03. Björk – "Play Dead" (1993) 3'56" 04. Little Boots – "New in Town (Golden Filter remix)" (2009) 6'27" 05. No-Man – "Simple" (2005) 7'04" 06. t.A.T.u. – "How Soon Is Now?" (2003) 3'17" 07. Mogwai – "I Love You, I'm Going to Blow Up Your School" (2008) 7'33" 08. Steven Wilson – "No Twilight Within the Courts of the Sun" (2008) 8'37" 09. Red Sparowes – "The great leap forward poured down upon us one day like a mighty storm, suddenly and furiously blinding our senses." (2006) 8'10" 10. Oceansize – "Commemorative 9/11 T-Shirt" (2007) 8'37" Hmm, WinAmp clearly isn't in the mood for short tracks today. I've currently got 1,256 tracks on my hard drive in the office. It'd take 4 days, 3 hours, 26 minutes and 20 seconds to listen to 'em all. Litmus were top notch. Two hour long sets, full of relentless riffs, extended solos and strange electronic whooshing noises, all lit with psychedelic swirling patterns of light and green lasers. Music for people with long hair. Proper SPACE ROCK! I have a new ipod Did you get a discount? Yours appears to be missing the uppercase 'P'...  Yeah, the KT Tunstall really killed it. The Stereophonics track is a cracker though. At least people will have heard of your selections. |

After winamp threw the first one at me, it reminded me of Tinpot Terrace so here is another selection from the "Sultan's Century Collection" 1) The Wombles- Remember You're A Womble This reminded my of Meadow. It's the only Wombles track i actually liked. Oh to spend some time back in 1974, World Cup, 1st shortwave radio, Man Utd just relegated.. ;D 2) RB Graves - Take A Letter, Maria"....address it to wife. Tell her i'm not coming home. Gonna start a new life." Oh well. A man can dream...  3) LJ Reynolds & Chocolate Syrup - The Penguin Breakdown Simply one of my favourite instrumental tracks of all time. 4) 2Men a drum Machine and a Trumpet - I'm Tired of Getting Pushed Around Seems to sum up how i feel about life at the moment  5) Vicki Sue Robinson - Turn The Beat Around 75 or 76 disco track that always seems to pick up me up when i feel flat. Was a little shocked to find Vicki Sue popping up on a Pokemon music CD i got for Smalldude a few years ago!  6) Sister Sledge - Mama Never Told Me The only Sister Sledge in my collection (honest!) and the only acceptable one they ever made. I was really into my disco stuff back in 75 when this was a minor hit in the UK after being released 2 years earlier. 7) Focus - House of The King Weird sounding stuff from Holland but this was quite ground-breaking in it's time.  8) Gabriella Cilmi - Nothings Sweet About Me Hey, one from this century, what's this doing here? Memories of last year's holiday in Turkey 9) Jefferson Airplane - White Rabbit Sounds quite military and almost threatening in the build up to it's climax. Captures the spirit of the late 60's for me growing up with the Vietnam war and the protest movements on News at Ten every night like a nightmarish soap opera. Poor Kim Phuc was the first naked girl i ever saw.  10) Big Audio Dynamite - E=mc2 Just a memory of the raw power and energy felt by those of us who weren't sour lefties during the Thatcher era. Some of us actually became property-owning, share-owning democrats without being infected by the "greed-flu" that too many people succumbed to. |

I have a new iPod because I took my rubbishy knackered one back to the shop and the nice man gave me one that actually works. Now all I have to do is try and persuade my flatmate (who seems to have become totally addicted to some computer game) to let me use the computer for 5 minutes so I can transfer my iTunes library plus lots of excellent stuff that Meadow and her OH have kindly given me on a nice memory stick |

6) Flash And The Pan - Waiting for a Train Quality! They should have called themselves Flash In the Pan though. ...iPod...actually works...iTunes... It's not often you find those words together without a lot of swearing. It's not often that you see the correct capitalisation either! Have you tried my Riverside 2008 CD yet? Did it make your ears bleed? After my last random shuffle, I tried to play through my entire mp3 collection once, but several months and many interruptions for albums later and I've still got 808 tracks out of 1366 to go. Time to give up and start again. 01. Loci – "Quoits" (2008) 02. The Dead Weather – "Hang You from the Heavens" (2009) 03. Kingston Wall – "With My Mind" (1992) 04. Lost In Vegas – "Breathe" (2009) 05. Queensrÿche – "Silent Lucidity" (1990) 06. Porcupine Tree – "Fear of a Blank Planet" (2007) 07. dredg – "I Don't Know" (2009) 08. IAMX – "Running" (2009) 09. Steve Stevens – "Small Arms Fire" (2008) 10. March of the Union – "Vegas" (2008) |

6) Flash And The Pan - Waiting for a Train Quality! They should have called themselves Flash In the Pan though. Wow! To have one of my selections praised by the coolest music dude on the forum (though the one with the worst possible taste in footy teams before he gets too big-headed ) really made my day. ;D On the original selection, Flash and The Pan's "Down Amongst The Dead Men" actually came in at No7, but i skipped it and went on to the next one because a) i thought that the random play thing had gone off and it had just started playing in alphabetical order. b) it might upset Tamworth fans thinking about the season they are going to have ;D 1) Alan Parsons Project - The System of Dr Tarr and Professor Feather 2) Three Dog Night - Shambala 3) Dave and Ansil Collins - Monkey Spanner 4) Poco - Rose of Cimarron 5) Elgins - Put Yourself in My Place 6) New Christy Minstrels - Three Wheels on My Wagon 7) Alice Cooper - Elected 8) Looking Glass - Brandy (You're a Fine Girl) 9) Nick Kershaw - Dancing Girls 10) David Bowie - Laughing Gnome [ with thanks to Medibot] |
