That looks like the illustrations of Si Scott! He went to my university..... sorry if it isn't!

It was my mixtape extrasupervery! :) (surprise! :uhoh: :) ) I'm glad you enjoyed listening to most of it.... and I agree, it is far too long! Sorry. haha. I added the last track, last minute so that made it even longer. I know a few I could have taken off too.... It is also mainly full of British artists too, since that's who I mainly listen to :) Anyway, onto the tracklisting....... Track 1: Balloons - Foals This is my favourite song by them, I feel it's quite accessible, with amazing little melodies and a fast pace in the song. British band, yeah, from Oxford. (other songs I recommend: "Red Sock Pugie", "Olympic Airways") Track 2: You'll Find A Way - Santogold I just love her whole album....it drifts from genre to genre on each song and sounds so good. I'm glad you wanna get into her! :dance: Track 3: Now I'm Everyone - Biffy Clyro I agree this song can be a bit monotonous and steady...but I like it for that reason, kind of, especially when it changes into the strange repetitive part at the end... kind of hypnotic. They're from Scotland if you didn't know. Track 4: Space and The Woods - Late Of The Pier This is a crazy random song I downloaded for free, I quite liked the electro feel to it. I agree though that it's a bit messy, :lol: They're a small British band, not sure if they'll be around much or not. Track 5: First Love - Maccabees This is my favourite song of theirs...it's simple,and has really quick/slow parts in it. His voice is different too. I have a small affection for them because the band was created in my hometown, and I worked with a guy who is best mates with one of them. British band. "Precious Time" is another fave of mine. Track 6: The Gallery - Muse A lesser known earlier track by Muse, it has always been a favourite. Kinda instrumental, like you say. Maybe try their album 'Hullabaloo" if you liked it. Track 7: Mercury - Bloc Party I just threw this one in here, because Im quite a big fan of theirs and wondered how this song would go down to someone who isn't necessarily a big fan....seems that you kind of liked it! It grew on me. Track 8: Idealistic - Digitalism A friend sent me this song, just a good dance-y track. I don't know any other stuff by them though :\ Track 9: SW - Blonde Redhead I got into this band after seeing them support Interpol, very dreamy shoegaze-y music to listen to with Other songs to recommend by them from me "A Cure", "Spring and By Summer Fall", "Led Zep" ,"23". Paul Banks played on stage with them :nice: Track 10: Selfish Son - Bloc Party One of my favourite b-sides of Bloc Party. Like you, I like the glockenspiel part :nice: I like the darker parts of this song. It kind of goes from light to dark and back again if that makes sense. Track 11: Up On The Ladder - Radiohead This is one of my favourites from the In Rainbows stuff...I love this song, so epic. Track 12: What's A Girl To Do - Bat For Lashes This is another artist from my hometown, heh. I only know two songs by her, this one, and "Prescilla". My favourite thing about this song is when the bass kicks in at 0.45, and I like her voice too. Track 13: Lights Out - Santogold I think I like this one better than 'You'll Find a Way" too. I love the way she sings in this song. Everyone listen to her! Track 14: Another Number - The Cribs The Cribs are British, they have a very raw sound to them I think. It took me a while to get into them at first, then I really liked them. They can be quite noisy, but they have some slower songs, and their last album was produced by Alex Kapranos of Franz....it's a little smoother... "Mens Needs, Women's Needs, Whatever". Track 15: Loughborough Suicide - The Young Knives British band, I only know a few of their songs due to my flatmate introducing them to me. I like them, good rounded indie sort of songs, with sometimes comical lyrics. Track 16: Be Good or Be Gone - Fionn Regan I'm glad you like this one! His whole album is very folky, I love it. It's called "The End of History". He's from Ireland. Track 17: Milk - Kings Of Leon This song is kinda quiet and strange, and it's KOL, so an American southern drawl in the voice is apparent, heh! Maybe I like this song because it reminds me of when I heard it at Glasto a month ago :) |f you don't know KOL, "King of the Rodeo" and all of their stuff is great. Track 18: Anthem - Emancipator A friend suggested Emancipator to me. He makes music and also samples a lot of stuff, "Electronica / Trip Hop / Down-tempo" according to the myspace. I love the way that this song builds and builds, and it's just beautiful I think. Track 19: Make This Work - Magistrates This is a song I have been going on about for the past week, I love it. Funky and summery, and retro like you say. I havn't heard any of their other stuff yet, as they're a brand new band I think. Here is the link to download my mixtape! :) http://www.sendspace.com/file/ozb2nu

I'm afraid I have to agree. I'm right handed and hoping to go into a creative career....always been the artist of the family. My brother is a leftie, and is useless at art and creative stuff. :lol: He makes up for it by being better at maths and stuff though.

Glad your banner was noticed Mel and Lori! :dance: And hooray for the last-minute Green Eyes!! :)

LMAO!!!!

1, I want to download other people's mixtapes now! :wideeyed: and 2, I want my mixtape to listen to! heh.... :curtain:

Jonny.... I think I have a similar personality to him anyway.... fairly quiet, kinda likes to stay in the background :lol: or maybe that's Guy more? oh well.... haha

I loved the confetti at the two shows I went to... but I think that it was amazing because both were very small gigs, I was near the front and everybody was covered in the confetti, hence involving the entire crowd. It was a great ending to the shows with LIJ accompanied by the butterflies...just kind of joyous. I loved the u.v butterflies at Brixton too :nice: Not sure how it will work at bigger shows. I dunno how people think it's been at the American gigs so far.. wonder whether in December I will be able to catch any :sad:

She sounds like she's about 35!!!!!! I love how the radio presenter and her clearly don't know Chris' sense of humour :lol:

Oh......crap... bad move Chris! "I would be Chris's dream girl" ??? errrrmm, whatever, love! :laugh3:

Have a good tiiiiiiime!! I look forward to hearing what 'surprise' song they play :dance: (hope I havn't jinxed it :lol: )

Yeah, both Crests of Waves and I Ran Away are two of my favourite songs. I also like it, because not every average joe who buys a Coldplay album has them..... :nice: Also....add Animals...to that.

The bluest sky I've seen for a long time here, and hot, hot hot!! :sunny:

I watched that as well! haha.... :lol:

I know some guys who look emo, but don't act like it. Their hair looks stupid though! Did you see him again Julia? heh

22.02 back from rollerblading and nearly falling over, :(

Yes! I love Brandon too.... :heart: I'm clearing out my room and found a poster of him in my cupboard.... it was nice :lol:

Haha....! I saw that guy on some programme introducing a funny Harry Potter spoof ( )

Sounds like Any Questions Answered.... my friend was texting them silly questions yesterday. such as...... "I'm being abducted by aliens several nights a week. What course of action should I take?" and "What's the greatest thing about oranges"... yeah we were bored :uhoh: I might think of something ridiculous to ask.....

In Rainbows..... but on both albums, I don't love EVERY song. Weeeird.

I havn't got mine yet either!

Wasn't it taken by Kevin Westenburg? but I'm probably wrong...] edit! Tooo quick for me, Mich! haha! :)

Awwwwww, the second one :nice:
